World Bank Global Program on Forced Displacement GPFD

Proyecto terminado

A record 65.4 million people are displaced due to armed conflict and persecution. Many of them have been displaced for more than a decade, necessitating a development approach to make them more self-reliable. The Global Program on Forced Displacement (GPFD) has been the agenda-setter on this issue in the World Bank. Through its role as the custodian of expertise, it contributes to foster long-term development solutions for the displaced and to make this a priority issue for the Bank.

El proyecto en breve
Contexto The current forced displacement crisis concerns primarily developing countries, which host 89 percent of refugees and 99 percent of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). To make things worse, they are mostly in some of the most unstable regions in the world. The humanitarian system alone is unable to deal with a record caseload of 65.4 million people, who remain displaced for an average period of 17 years (UNHCR, 2016). As a result, this has also become an important development issue. The World Bank, together with UNHCR and others, has increasingly gotten engaged in addressing forced displacement as a development challenge. Within the World Bank, the Global Program on Forced Displacement (GPFD) plays a leading role in analytics and facilitating concrete solutions. It is now assisting Country Management Units (CMU) in setting up new large programs under IDA18 to help mainstream the forced displacement agenda in all of the Banks’ relevant interventions.
Objetivos The World Bank successfully scaled-up and fostered sustainable solutions for Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) through increased collaboration between humanitarian aid and development cooperation.
