Better evidence helps governments and their partners move beyond assumptions and make more informed decisions on jobs, services, and opportunities for displaced people and the communities that host them. @UNHCRThailand #ForcedDisplacement

@UNHCRThailand The evidence says otherwise. Research presented at the 4th JDC Research Conference on Forced Displacement highlighted how displacement can shape local economies and communities in different ways.

How assistance is provided can influence how it is used. Evidence presented at the 4th JDC Research Conference on Forced Displacement highlighted why understanding these choices matters. Good data helps policymakers make more informed decisions. @UNHCRThailand

@UNHCRThailand @WB_AsiaPacific Jobs. Services. Housing. Opportunity. As displacement situations become more protracted, governments face increasingly complex policy choices. Opening the 4th JDC Research Conference on Forced Displacement, Melinda Good highlighted why robust evidence matters.
