Social protection for the forcibly displaced in low- and middle-income countries
A pathway for inclusion
This paper provides the first overview of efforts by low- and middle-income countries
to extend the coverage of national social protection systems to the forcibly displaced
persons they host. It presents a baseline of de jure (legal) and estimated de facto
(actual) coverage in 12 countries; analyses the conditions enabling access to social
protection by the forcibly displaced; draws lessons from Iraq, Sudan and Uganda in
terms of challenges and successes; and offers guidance to major stakeholders on extending
social protection initiatives to forcibly displaced persons.
