The joint UNSDG-IASC Guidance on Solutions to Internal Displacement advances the Secretary-General’s 2022 Action Agenda on Internal Displacement and builds on the guidance provided by Member States, to collectively address situations of internal displacement. It offers a toolkit for development-focused, government-led solutions with clear exit strategies for the international community, while highlighting humanitarian measures and strategies to help lay the groundwork for solutions, and outlining strategies for governments to lead on preventing and addressing internal displacement.
Since solutions are often integrated into existing projects, it is important to apply relevant tags and markers in the UN INFO platform for predefined population groups. This ensures consolidation and easy extraction of information about efforts toward solutions across the Cooperation Framework. Additionally, nited Nations Country Teams members could disaggregate displacement status across relevant indicators, as recommended by EGRISS, to track the progress of IDPs compared to the general population. This data is vital for measuring progress and identifying areas needing further investment.
