A/71/279 provision, as well as education, health, reproductive health care for women and the need to ensure protection at every phase of internal displacement. 63. Key elements of good governance include establishing monitoring mechanisms and early warning systems for conflict and disaster-induced displacement, maintaining disaster risk reduction and management systems, and the implementation of mitigation and preparedness measures. It is imperative to provide essential training to local and subnational authorities, who are often first responders, including about international standards and their obligations towards internally displaced persons. What must be clearly understood is the long -term need for governance and dedicated attention to internally displac ed persons until durable solutions are achieved. Such mechanisms exist, for example in Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Serbia. The United Nations and international partners should provide technical cooperation and capacity-building, including training of bodies in charge of coordination. B. Improving data gathering, analysis and profiling 64. To prevent and improve responses to internal displacement, it is imperative to have comprehensive and reliable information upon which to base both humanitarian and development interventions. This includes baseline data from which to make informed decisions, measure progress, create data tracking and monitoring mechanisms, and comprehensive trends analysis. Reliable data and evidence are a precondition for good policy and programming and are vital for strengthening coordination and collaboration between different actors. Many States lack accurate information about the number, profile and needs of internally displaced persons. Globally, the available figures on displacement do not reveal the full picture. As IDMC points out, current global estimates indicate only the scale of displacement caused by conflict and yearly estimates of disaster-induced displacement. Serious gaps exist in data on those displaced by disasters. Slow-onset disasters, development projects and generalized violence constitute significant data blind spots. 65. The lack of reliable and comprehensive data on internal displacement hampers the ability to respond effectively and put in place immediate and longer-term measures to reduce displacement. Detailed profiling of situations of internally displaced persons is needed to ensure that information goes beyond simple numbers and basic needs to include population data disaggregated b y sex, age, location and diversity, particular protection or other concerns, coping mechanisms and capacities within internally displaced populations as well as knowledge about host communities they live with and affect. Gathering data on those outside camps has proven difficult and there is a need to find creative solutions to ensure that they do not fall through protection and support nets, including by exploring new technology. 66. Where States lack the capacity for data gathering and analysis they shou ld collaborate with expert international partners. Among important data initiatives, the Special Rapporteur highlights JIPS, an inter-agency service helping Governments, humanitarian and development agencies to acquire, maintain and update reliable data and analysis on internal displacement situations, including disaggregated population data. The Service recognizes that informed solutions must be based on a more complete data picture of internally displaced persons. In Honduras, a 16-13413 17/25
