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. F. 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. 18 10 UN OCHA, May 2017, Breaking the Impasse: Reducing Protracted Displacement as a Collective Outcome, available at: https://www.unocha.org/sites/unocha/files/Breaking-the-impasse.pdf.
