Governance structures for internal displacement 2015, para. 21

Paragraph
Paragraph text
Displacement, whether as a result of conflict, violence or disaster, is often difficult or impossible to predict. Some countries or Governments have rarely or never experienced mass displacement of populations and so are taken by surprise by displacement events and lack the capacity to respond with appropriate procedures, policies and institutions. Those countries that have frequently experienced displacement as a result of disasters, for example, should be better placed to respond, having already understood the need for systems and procedures to be in place. Much can be learned from those countries in the management of displacement crises.
