92. The Special Rapporteur makes the following recommendations to regional
intergovernmental bodies:
(a) The African Union should facilitate a conference of States parties to
the Kampala Convention as a vital means to promote its implementation across
African States. Member States should commit to reduce internal displacement
by at least 50 per cent by 2030 for the African region;
(b) Other regional intergovernmental bodies should take the measures
necessary to incorporate the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement into
regional standards as part of their commitments to the outcomes of the World
Humanitarian Summit. Regional mechanisms should develop legal frameworks
and practical tools to assist States in their responses to internal displacement.
93.
The Special Rapporteur recommends that the United Nations:
(a) Strengthen its capacity to address specific protection and assistance
needs of internally displaced persons, linked to durable solutions, at the onset
of displacement. This requires adopting a new approach to internal
displacement, through joint development-humanitarian assessments, analysis
and multi-year planning and programming and flexible additional multi-year
financing to build self-reliance, resilience and the integration of internally
displaced persons into local area-based development approaches;
(b) Make advances in generating better evidence and profiling of
internal displacement situations and support durable-solution strategies for
internally displaced persons in protracted displacement;
(c) Enhance collaboration with local authorities, civil society and the
private sector, to support inclusive development strategies and improve the
well-being of both internally displaced persons and host communities,
including in urban settings;
(d) Support the strengthening of policy and legal frameworks to protect
and foster inclusion of internally displaced persons, and work closely with the
African Union and its members to promote ratification and implementation of
the Kampala Convention. The United Nations should strengthen its technical
capacity-building services to provide expertise to States and regional bodies in
