A more systematized and equitable response to internally displaced persons outside camps 2012, para. 55
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- National policies related to local integration must be "translated into both political and financial support for local authorities and communities". Profiling exercises, and surveys of intentions among IDPs in order to gage what particular durable solutions they are envisaging can assist in assessing the resources and measures which are necessary. These will be important for planning purposes, and allow improved access by provincial and municipal actors to national and international funding, including by development actors. Most effective local integration programmes will combine IDP-specific interventions with community-wide programmes. Where the numbers of IDPs warrant it, the integration of displacement issues in local development, poverty reduction plans and labour market integration schemes, can also represent an effective strategy, which can be enhanced by the active participation of IDP representatives. Furthermore, other sources of practice and experience can be tapped, such as innovative local integration practices which have been used in the context of refugee integration programmes, or community revitalization projects.
