| Summary: | Since 2012, the number of forcibly
displaced people has more than doubled, reaching 89.3
million by the end of 2021. Ongoing conflicts, including the
war in Ukraine, will result in even larger numbers of
forcibly displaced people. The economic and human
development impacts of forcible displacement present
challenges for the people who have been displaced, the
communities that host them, and governments that receive
them. Governments, humanitarian organizations, and others
are using economic inclusion programs as one strategy to
increase income and assets and build the resilience of
displaced people and host populations living in poverty. An
estimated 95 economic inclusion programs are underway in
contexts of forced displacement in 45 countries, more than
half led by governments. This note examines the experience
of economic inclusion programs that serve forcibly displaced
people, including internally displaced people, refugees, and
their host communities. It also examines the emerging
lessons learned in program design and delivery based on new
data on the footprint of economic inclusion programs and a
review of evidence on forced displacement and economic
inclusion programming. |
