Independent review of the humanitarian response to internal displacement, Lewis Sida & al, HPG Report, HPG, ODI, 2024
Since the UN first highlighted the internal displacement crisis in 1992, numbers have tripled from 24 million to more than 71 million people. Forecasts now predict that up to 200 million people will be internally displaced by 2050. This study analyzes how the humanitarian system responds to internal displacement. The process included extensive data collection across six country case studies (Ethiopia, Nigeria, DRC, Mozambique, Honduras and Yemen), and consultation of 1500 IDPs.

State of Practice : the Evolution of Security Risk Management in the Humanitarian Space, Abby Stoddard & al., GISF, Humanitarian Outcomes, 2024
Security risk management (SRM) for humanitarian operations is a set of measures aimed at mitigating this risk as far as possible, to allow critical relief work to continue. This study sets out to assess the current state of practice in humanitarian SRM, and whether it is fit for purpose in the changing landscape of humanitarian crises. It is based on location-based research in five countries: Central African Republic, Colombia, Ethiopia, Iraq, and Ukraine.

How can the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus Work from the Bottom Up? A Discussion paper on implementation challenges from a decolonial perspective. Insights from Iraq, Mali and South Sudan, M. Müller-Koné & al, BICC Report, 2024
Based on a literature review and qualitative empirical research in Iraq, Mali and South Sudan, we argue
that the power imbalances addressed by the decolonial movement pose a particular challenge for the HDP
nexus, as the HDP approach intervenes in local conflicts and their inherent power dynamics by including
peace activities. The guiding question for this Paper is: How can the HDP approach work from the bottom
up? To answer this question, we examine the extent to which the HDP nexus has so far been implemented as a bottom-up approach and what new ways forward a decolonial perspective offer.
