This paper explores how institutional capacities and arrangements can be further strengthened and better coordinated within the international system in order to respond more effectively to the needs of the internally displaced. It examines the relevant capacities of existing institutions, their weaknesses and strengths, and recommends improvements that could be made in the current system. It then lays out the pros and cons of options for longer-term institutional reform.
