A/71/279 approached on a humanitarian-development basis. Where return is not possible or desired, local integration or resettlement should be given due consideration; (j) Support and fund national and local organizations, non-governmental organizations and community and faith-based organizations to increase their capacity to intervene in all phases of displacement and as key partners in programmes aimed at building self-reliance and resilience and achieving durable solutions; (k) Identify and take steps to secure durable solutions for internally displaced persons with greater emphasis on those outside camps, and establ ish policy and programme measures aimed at integrating internally displaced persons into area-based development programmes for host populations; (l) Invite the Special Rapporteur to visit officially as part of their national displacement prevention, resolution and durable solutions strategies. 92. The Special Rapporteur makes the following recommendations to regional intergovernmental bodies: (a) The African Union should facilitate a conference of States parties to the Kampala Convention as a vital means to promote its implementation across African States. Member States should commit to reduce internal displacement by at least 50 per cent by 2030 for the African region; (b) Other regional intergovernmental bodies should take the measures necessary to incorporate the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement into regional standards as part of their commitments to the outcomes of the World Humanitarian Summit. Regional mechanisms should develop legal frameworks and practical tools to assist States in their responses to internal displacement. 93. The Special Rapporteur recommends that the United Nations: (a) Strengthen its capacity to address specific protection and assistance needs of internally displaced persons, linked to durable solutions, at the onset of displacement. This requires adopting a new approach to internal displacement, through joint development-humanitarian assessments, analysis and multi-year planning and programming and flexible additional multi-year financing to build self-reliance, resilience and the integration of internally displaced persons into local area-based development approaches; (b) Make advances in generating better evidence and profiling of internal displacement situations and support durable-solution strategies for internally displaced persons in protracted displacement; (c) Enhance collaboration with local authorities, civil society and the private sector, to support inclusive development strategies and improve the well-being of both internally displaced persons and host communities, including in urban settings; (d) Support the strengthening of policy and legal frameworks to protect and foster inclusion of internally displaced persons, and work closely with the African Union and its members to promote ratification and implementation of the Kampala Convention. The United Nations should strengthen its technical capacity-building services to provide expertise to States and regional bodies in 24/25 16-13413
