Global Stock-Take on Implementation of the Secretary-General's Action Agenda on Internal Displacement
Strengthening System-Wide Approaches to Durable Solutions
The Secretary-General’s Action Agenda on Internal Displacement (2022), together with the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC)/UN Sustainable Development Group (UNSDG) Guidance on Solutions to Internal Displacement, has established a common direction for supporting governments to advance solutions to internal displacement. These frameworks support a shift towards government-led, development-anchored approaches that aim to translate political commitment into coordinated action at country level. The stock-take is structured around the four primary interlinked building blocks of the IASC-UNSDG Guidance on Solutions to Internal Displacement.
The 2025 stock-take shows that progress towards durable solutions to internal displacement is increasingly being driven by governments, with growing integration of displacement into national development systems. Across multiple contexts, governments are moving beyond ad hoc responses towards more structured, policy-based approaches, adopting national and sub-national solutions strategies, embedding displacement within development plans and strengthening institutional leadership.
