#DevTalks: Towards better inclusion of refugees and displaced people in host countries

The number of refugees and Internally Displaced People (IDPs) has been rising constantly over the last two decades, particularly in hosting low and middle-income countries (LMICs), crossing the 100 million mark in light of the Ukraine crisis.

At this scale, forced displacement affects socio-economic development and fragility worldwide, calling for development responses.

In the context of increasingly protracted displacement, local inclusion of forcibly displaced persons has taken a larger role in public policy.

This #DevTalks examines opportunities, challenges and emerging practices of the inclusion of refugees and IDPs in hosting countries’ society, social service systems, and economic development - as part of the OECD Development Centre’s Policy Dialogue on Migration and Development, and in collaboration with the Development Co-operation Directorate.
