Responding to displacement: id21 insights, issue 44
Looking at the needs of refugees and other displaced people and the lessons learned
Over the past 50 years, forced displacement has been a major obstacle to development and the fight against poverty. Despite the efforts of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and others to find ‘durable solutions’ for those who are forced to flee their homes, attitudes have, if anything, hardened towards refugees and asylum-seekers.
