Forced Displacement

Forced Displacement is a development challenge, not only a humanitarian concern. 90% of the world’s displaced living in low- and middle-income countries, with over half of refugees displaced for more than 4 years. As part of a global effort, the World Bank Group is focused on addressing longer term, social and economic challenges that will help both the displaced and their hosts.
