affecting their response, both with regard to the provision of humanitarian
assistance and to durable solutions such as local integration. Promote better
understanding and capacity-building at the level of local authorities, with a
view to: protecting the human rights of IDPs living within their communities
(e.g. through non-discrimination, equal access to services); developing and/or
implementing IDP-specific assistance and protection programmes, and
community based approaches; facilitating durable solutions; and including
IDPs outside camps in poverty reduction and local development plans;

To the humanitarian community, as a follow-up to previous
engagements on the topic by this mandate, in the framework of the
Inter Agency Standing Committee
• Within the framework of IASC, initiate a process to consider the existing
practices, gaps and relevant issues relating to IDPs outside camps, with a view
to the development of strategies and mechanisms to strengthen related
humanitarian and development responses. Suggested steps could include:
• Adequately taking into account IDPs outside camps in all relevant IASC
work, including its task forces;
• The undertaking by agencies, on a voluntary basis, of a stocktaking
exercise or survey of their programmes and practices which relate (or
extend) to IDPs outside camps and host communities;
• The collection of good practices in this regard, and an analysis of existing
protection and assistance gaps which hinder the institutional response by
the humanitarian and development communities;
• On this basis, a reference group could collect and analyse the above
information, with a view to: identifying common gaps and areas for
focus which have a system wide impact; and develop strategies and/or
processes towards a more equitable and systematized approach to the
humanitarian, human rights and development issues facing IDPs outside
camps and affected communities.
