Some of the world's largest displacement crises receive the least attention.

Nearly half of all internally displaced people live in the 10 crises highlighted in @NRC_Norway's latest report. ⬇️

[Paula Gaviria @PaulaGaviriaB]

A decade of data from @NRC_Norway shows a painful truth: the world has the resources to end these displacement crises.

We need the political will.

As @NRC_Egeland reminds us, we can do better, and we must.

Today marks a key step toward lasting solutions for displaced people and host communities.

In Tokyo, with @BarhamSalih, we signed the new @UNDP – UNHCR Joint Collaboration Framework.

We will strengthen livelihoods, systems and support beyond crisis.

[IDMC @IDMC_Geneva]

82.2 million people are displaced within their own countries. The total declined slightly in 2025, but remains near record levels after years of rising internal displacement.

Behind the figure are millions of people unable to rebuild their lives.

[Alexander De Croo 🇺🇳 @alexanderdecroo]

My message at the #G7 Development Ministers' Meetings in Paris is clear.

If we want peace and security, we need stability.

If we want stability, we need to prioritize development.

Development is not a cost, it's an investment.

It's time we fund it like one.

[Alexander De Croo 🇺🇳 @alexanderdecroo]

Commitment matters.
Delivery matters more.

A meeting of the Global Solutions Champions on Internal Displacement focused on what it takes to move further and faster.

That means backing governments, supporting teams on the ground, and mobilizing finance for solutions.

[Haoliang Xu @HaoliangXu]

Appreciated meeting @WorldBankGroup Executive Directors to strengthen the @UNDP–World Bank partnership.

By working together, we can unlock public & private financing, especially in crises, and support rule of law and reforms that drive recovery, jobs & private sector engagement.

[Paula Gaviria @PaulaGaviriaB]

My statement on the Guiding Principles on Internal #Displacement & key elements today:

✅ Sustained political solutions to conflicts
✅ Renewed commitment to peace
✅ Addressing structural inequalities
✅ Stronger climate action
✅ More displaced persons influencing the agenda

[UNDP Syria @UndpSyria]

More than 1.6 million people returned to Syria last year.

They need housing, services and jobs.

[UN Development @UNDP]

Working with 🇮🇹🇪🇸🇸🇪🇨🇦, the 🇪🇺 and @UN partners, UNDP has helped unlock $16 billion in new financing across 86 countries - by helping governments align budgets with people’s needs.

That's development finance in action. https://t.co/eSTnemtuoM

[Shoko Noda @shokonoda]

Displacement today is shaped by multiple challenges – conflict, climate change & instability.

A new @NordicAfrica & @UNDP brief shows how coordinated, locally-led approaches can build resilience amid these overlapping crises.

[Shoko Noda @shokonoda]

Building a stronger, collective @UN response to internal displacement.

As @UNDP assumes this convening role, we continue to work with @UNMigration, @Refugees, and our partners to advance nationally and locally-led #DurableSolutions for internally displaced persons #IDPs.

[UN Development @UNDP]

From April, UNDP takes on the convening role of the Solutions Champions on Internal Displacement.

With @UNMigration and @Refugees, we will bring the @UN system together to support governments to deliver development-anchored, sustainably financed solutions at scale.

[Alexander De Croo 🇺🇳 @alexanderdecroo]

Displacement, loss, and an economic setback of more than three decades—the cost of three years of devastating war in Sudan.

@UNDP stays and delivers—strengthening livelihoods, resilience, and access to essential services.
