A decade of displacement in the Middle East and North Africa

The Middle East and North Africa report on internal displacement, the first of its kind, delves into the scale, drivers, patterns and impacts of internal displacement in MENA. 

A decade of displacement in the Middle East and North Africa

The report is divided in two main parts: 

Part 1 presents the trends and patterns of internal displacement associated with conflict, violence and disasters during the past decade.

Part 2 discusses the current challenges in monitoring and reporting in the region, including the chronic nature of displacement, its economic and social impacts, and its relationship with cross-border and return movements.

It also presents good practices and recommendations for the next decade, taking into account the nexus between conflict, disasters and displacement.
