Governance structures for internal displacement 2015, para. 24

Paragraph
Paragraph text
Good governance requires the gathering and coordination of expertise, both national and, where necessary, international, to respond rapidly to a displacement situation. The gathering, monitoring and sharing of information is critical for all actors to respond appropriately and to understand the dynamics and dimensions of displacement at the earliest stage. This includes information on who is displaced, how many people are involved, where they went and why and what their immediate needs are. Good governance requires technical awareness and for that awareness to be widely disseminated to responders. Not least, governance of displacement requires an understanding of the human rights of internally displaced persons, including the right to be consulted about decisions affecting them and to participate in solutions intended for them.
