Summary
This Global Overview provides a comprehensive review of the 2009 situation of internal displacement, based on the information on over 50 countries brought together on IDMC’s website at www.internal-displacement.org. It aims to provide information on these different situations from regional and country-specifi c perspectives, while providing an analysis of the different situations of IDPs globally: those newly displaced, those living in continuing displacement, and those making progress towards durable solutions. The achievements and limitations of the responses to these situations are also examined. The document is available here
