A/HRC/41/40/Add.1
analyze and effectively use data on internal displacement situations, in line with the
recommendations made by the Expert Group on Refugee and IDP Statistics (EGRIS). It can
also focus attention on the need for data on crisis and displacement risk factors alongside a
methodology to measure the progress towards the achievement of durable solutions.
34.
Suggested actions for stakeholders include, for example: Strengthen national capacity
to collect, analyze and use data on internal displacement, in line with recommendations from
the EGRIS, which will develop an internationally endorsed statistical framework for IDP
statistics and associated tools and guidance in 2018-2019 for the production of official IDP
Statistics; Improve statistics on IDPs so that they can be compared to and combined with data
sets on other relevant populations with the overall goal of providing an improved evidence
base for more informed and joined up action on internal displacement; Support the analysis
of internal displacement within a broader context including investigating the impact of
internal displacement on social and economic indicators, urban systems, governance and the
policy environment with the overall goal of including IDPs in local and national development
plans.
Addressing protracted internal displacement and support for durable solutions
35.
GP20 can galvanize multi-stakeholder engagement for increased self-sufficiency and
resilience of IDPs and support for durable solutions in line with the IASC Framework on
Durable Solutions for IDPs. This can be achieved through, for example, the inclusion of IDPs
and host communities in national development plans and social safety nets, increasing
income-generation and livelihood opportunities for IDPs and host communities, addressing
housing and land disputes, joint humanitarian and development approaches including through
the definition of measurable collective outcomes, and the collection and dissemination of
good practices.18
36.
Suggested actions for stakeholders include, for example: Review priorities and
programmes in countries affected by internal displacement to ensure that initiatives helping
IDPs to move towards self-sufficiency are in place, and that the impact on host communities
is factored into the response; Engage in a dialogue with national governments and IDPs to
ensure that they prioritize durable solutions to internal displacement in their national and
regional planning using the IASC Framework on Durable Solutions, and factor in
displacement in their SDGs’ implementation plan; States, IDPs, humanitarian and
development partners, donors, civil society, the private sector, as well as other actors as
relevant, can jointly: 1) analyze the protection risks, needs, vulnerabilities and capacities of
IDPs and their hosts, 2) identify the reasons why displacement is protracted, 3) agree on and
implement strategic, clear and quantified collective outcomes, 4) provide technical advice for
executive deliberations on development policy-making.

Coordination and support
37.
All stakeholders are invited to share their planned and anticipated activities to
commemorate GP20. These can be shared with the GP20 Coordinator directly at
GP20@unhcr.org or through the dedicated GP20 web page located at
http://www.globalprotectioncluster.org/en/news-and-events/gp20-activities-andinitiatives.html on the Global Protection Cluster website.
38.
To ensure coherence with and build on the momentum of existing multi-stakeholder
fora at the national level, such as NGO platforms, the UN Country Teams, Humanitarian
Country Teams and field protection clusters, the GP20 Coordinator and the Steering Group
will identify and contact these fora to mobilize support and engagement on this Plan of Action.
As resources have not been mobilized for implementation of this Plan of Action, initiatives
requiring financial or technical support can be shared in concept note format with the GP20
Coordinator who will seek to identify avenues for support.
