Chapter 3 reported in Burundi (65%), Sudan (57%), Chad and Ukraine (both 56%). The data confirmed that the overall male-female ratio of IDPs has not changed significantly since 2010, when women constituted about half of IDPs in 2010 (with some countries being an exception). Children continued to be heavily affected by internal displacement in some of the worst humanitarian crises of the decade, and their situation remains dire today. In Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Somalia and Burkina Faso, for instance, children constituted more than 60 per cent of IDPs at the end of 2019. In the Central African Republic, Chad, Niger, Pakistan and Yemen, their proportion ranged between 53 and 57 per cent. Comparing these figures to IDP situations in Afghanistan, the Central African Republic and Somalia in 2010, the proportion of children increased by a few percentage points. Insufficient data on persons with disabilities still hinders a better understanding of the risks they face in displacement, although population surveys reveal that the prevalence and negative impacts of living with a disability are more pervasive in crisisaffected countries, such as Syria, where 27 per cent of the total population above 12 years of age have a disability. 47 UNHCR and the future of internal displacement The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its commitment to ‘leave no one behind’ provide a powerful basis for the inclusion of internally displaced people in economic development planning, as well as in all other measures taken by States to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. At the World Humanitarian Summit held in May 2016, far-reaching commitments were made, including an ambitious target of reducing the number of people in protracted or new displacement by 50 per cent by the year 2030. 47 https://www.globalprotectioncluster.org/wp-content/uploads/ Disability_Prevalence-and-Impact_FINAL-2.pdf UNHCR > GLOBAL TRENDS 2019 Over the course of the upcoming decade, UNHCR will continue to work with national governments in supporting efforts by States to adopt inclusive policies that better integrate internally displaced people into society and social safety nets; recognize them as socio-economic assets and contributors (including through better data); and strengthen the laws that ensure their protection and human rights. In 2019, UNHCR released an updated IDP Policy, which recommitted UNHCR to be a predictable and effective stakeholder in situations of internal displacement both operationally and within inter-agency response mechanisms, in support of affected States and communities. As an operational agency and in its capacity as lead of the Shelter, CCCM 48 and Protection Clusters, UNHCR will continue to work with its partners in addressing both immediate and longer-term needs of internally displaced people and host communities, and in supporting them to become resilient and self-reliant. UNHCR will, in particular, promote an active role by IDPs in decisions affecting their lives, and their communities, including through participation in peacebuilding and conflict resolution processes. UNHCR will also make prevention a priority, as it recognized many situations of internal displacement could be avoided, or their impact minimized, if compliance with human rights standards and international humanitarian law was maintained. UNHCR will consistently embed protection considerations in the various steps of agency and inter-agency preparedness efforts and will contribute to scenario-based contingency planning within its shelters and settlements, and camp/site coordination and management areas of expertise. By 2030, many gains will be realized, though internal displacement situations are likely to continue due to conflict, violence or disaster, including health pandemics. UNHCR will continue to engage across the entire spectrum of forced displacement, with refugees, internally displaced, and stateless people, ensuring access to protection, addressing factors that may contribute to further displacement or onward movement, and emphasizing both solutions and prevention. 48 Camp Coordination and Camp Management 35
