The Kampala Convention: a road map for action 2014, para. 49
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- According to article 9 (2) of the Convention, States are required to provide internally displaced persons, to the fullest extent possible and with the least possible delay, with food, water, shelter, health services, sanitation, education and any other necessary social services. Given the important ways in which displacement can affect the resources and coping capacities of communities affected by displacement, including host and return communities, States are also required, where appropriate, to extend their assistance to local and host communities. Furthermore, States are to take measures to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness and impact of humanitarian assistance provided to internally displaced persons, in accordance with relevant standards of practice, including those of the Sphere Project.
