As UN member states adopt the new
global Sustainable Development Goals, Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) sets out why internal displacement
is a development concern, and how particular attention to IDPs will do much to
ensure highly vulnerable populations are not left behind. With tens of millions
of people displaced each year by conflict, disasters and development projects,
this includes the need to:
1. Support durable solutions to
displacement
2. Pay particular attention to
people facing the debilitating impacts of long-term and/or repeated
displacement
3. Ensure that development projects
minimise displacement and protect people who are displaced from impoverishment
and marginalisation
4. Improve national data collection
and develop indicators on internal displacement to ensure resources allocated
where they are most needed
