Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 74
Paragraph
Paragraph text
National responses to internal displacement are often not integrated into national action or development plans. They are often ad hoc and conducted without clear time frames or long-term strategies or budgets in place. Attention may wane over time, resources may diminish and initial plans are revised or go unimplemented. In some cases displacement becomes protracted and transitional solutions become permanent. The political will and programme momentum may dissipate or disappear leaving internally displaced persons abandoned. Maintaining attention and resources through to the completion of durable solutions would benefit greatly from the establishment of national action plans under the framework of the Summit goal to reduce internal displacement by 2030.
