Displacement is at a historic high, with over 65 million individuals now displaced. Forced displacement and population movements have led to unrest, demographic changes and increasing political attention. Evaluation evidence from programming in refugee contexts shed light on the obstacles, while pointing to areas where response can be improved and to new approaches that may be working.
