Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 57
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The primary responsibility of the State to protect and assist internally displaced persons extends to funding. While some States are among the poorest and require significant international support, others are middle income and must allocate appropriate resources from national budgets to meet their needs. The international humanitarian and development community should not be long-term primary deliverers in situations where the State can step up and bear the cost of its own responses. This helps to ensure that international support is targeted where it is needed and strengthens the capacity of the State to respond to ongoing and future displacement situations.
