Nairobi, 22 May 2021 - The launch of the “Global Report on Internal Displacement 2021”  by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) underlines the scale of internal displacement situations, with 55 million people being internally displaced worldwide. The majority of those displaced seek refuge in urban centres.

UN-Habitat has been working with partners on internal urban displacement in Iraq, Somalia, Ethiopia, Mozambique and, since last year in Burkina Faso. The report highlights some of these as being among  the “world’s fastest growing displacement crises.”

UN-Habitat, due to its expertise in urban systems, has been supporting humanitarian partners and implementing cross-sectoral and multi-level governance solutions to help include internally displaced people socially and economically in urban areas and increase social cohesion between communities.

UN-Habitat Ethiopia’s team is supporting the implementation of durable solutions for IDPs, ensuring the regional government and the receiving local governments are able to provide shelter, sanitation, water facilities and other interventions at allocated sites. Building on previous assessments of sites selected for the relocation of IDPs from temporary sites to permanent locations, and following the spatial profiling of one of the largest IDPs settlement in the country, UN-Habitat engaged IOM and FAO to jointly assess gaps in delivering options for durable solutions in selected locations in Somali Region of Ethiopia.
