Governance structures for internal displacement 2015, para. 42
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Causes of displacement are manifold, and in some situations they are not clear-cut but overlap. States can benefit from putting in place monitoring and early warning systems to help prevent displacement. Specialized monitoring bodies can collect data and carry out risk assessments to map potential displacement threats. In countries where displacement has already taken place, trends and patterns can be recurrent and new internal displacement events can potentially be foreseen. These bodies can alert the Government and other actors of the likelihood of displacement.
