New translations of Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement: A good practice for facilitating engagement of IDPs and promoting their participation is ensuring the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement are available in their language. This is particularly important for IDPs living on the margins of mainstream society.

The Ukrainian translation is also now available with all other translations on the OHCHR website.26 74. Reaching IDPs to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: As internal displacement is largely a protracted phenomenon, addressing it is a long-term development challenge. A side event organized by the International Peace Institute in the margins of the High Level Political Forum discussions on the SDGs explored ways in which the 2030 Agenda can be leveraged in support of IDPs in light of GP20. Nigeria and other states with IDPs outlined their experience in including IDPs as part of their SDG roadmap. The event concluded that the achievement of the SDGs depends on a more collaborative, joined up and strategic response around collective outcomes to reduce the risks, vulnerabilities and needs of IDPs. 75.

UNHCR Annual Consultation with NGOs: At UNHCR`s annual consultation with NGOs, sessions on internal displacement were organized along the four priorities in the GP20 Plan of Action and co-led by NGOs and UNHCR. IDPs and national NGOs brought forward practical experiences, approaches and recommendations from numerous countries, including Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras, India, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, South Sudan, Sri Lanka and Ukraine.
