The Special Rapporteur will continue and enhance work carried out under the mandate to ensure that internally displaced persons are not left behind, including in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. While there is no specific target relating to internal displacement, the Special Rapporteur emphasizes that it is incumbent upon States experiencing internal displacement to establish national implementation programmes and plans that recognize that internally displaced persons are among the most vulnerable populations, who have multiple challenges and needs relating to development priorities — including in the areas of education, health, housing, land, livelihoods and poverty.
