Policy and administrative barriers to internally displaced persons (IDPs) accessing basic services

This resource from the Knowledge, evidence and learning for development (K4D) helpdesk examines available evidence on policy and administrative barriers faced by internally displaced persons. It looks at how they are impacted while accessing basic services due to:

  • loss of livelihoods and assets
  • lack of documentation
  • discrimination
  • lack of protection under international law
  • lack of policies
  • poor services
  • conflict or disaster conditions.
