El famoso recuerdo de la magdalena de Proust ilustra como la memoria involuntaria recupera un tiempo que vuelve a poblarse de espacios, a través del descubrimiento poético interior. Mediante un formato textual artístico se desea volver colectiva la vivencia individual de un pequeño grupo de voluntarios del huerto comunitario Ángeles para San Juancito (Francisco Morazán, Honduras), los cuales comparten la experiencia del desplazamiento forzado interno que han vivido en carne propia. Potenciando el trasfondo poético de un elemento básico de su dieta alimentaria, ya sea de la comunidad de origen o de acogida, se crean textos que narren una pequeña historia capaz de dar sentido a la experiencia (Ricoeur). Originalmente la Cité Nationale de l’Immigration (París), deseaba poner en valor un objeto evocador donado, capaz de otorgar sentido a posteriori (Schuz) a la historia misma de la migración. Este trabajo desea retomar la sensibilidad de esa experiencia.

Spotlight on Market-Based Programming: Economically Empowering Displaced Populations

By Corrie Sissons | Mar 5, 2026

This article explores how Market-Based Approaches can support internally displaced people by providing essential goods and food security, as well as strengthening social networks, relationships, and trust in their places of displacement. Focused on Sudan, which currently has the world's largest internal displacement crisis, this article provides evidence that Market-Based Programming (MBP) is suitable in adverse contexts. Markets often recover and resume operations before humanitarian agencies can reach affected communities. This resilience enables interventions such as supporting key businesses, using financial service providers for cash assistance, and supporting community-based mutual aid and agricultural markets. When well-managed and intentional, MBP dispels the stereotype that displaced populations are a burden on local economies. MBP not only meets the immediate needs of IDPs with speed and dignity but also supports local economies, fosters social integration, and lays the groundwork for long-term resilience and recovery amid profound uncertainty.

Displaced by Violence, Excluded from Healthcare: Compounding Injustices Facing Colombia’s IDPs

By Charlotte DuBois and Christopher Belden | Feb 18, 2026

This short article spotlights the dire healthcare access challenges faced by internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Colombia, home to the world's second-largest population of IDPs. Widespread violence among armed groups has forced people in many parts of the country to flee their homes, either preemptively or in the midst of ongoing conflicts. The injustices faced by IDPs, however, don't end there. Due to continuing violence, controls on communities instigated by armed groups, and discrimination against IDPs in urban and other locations of resettlement, IDPs face severe challenges accessing healthcare. While humanitarian organizations can provide limited health services in some regions of the country, many IDPs in Colombia remain without access to healthcare. The article argues that the government must do much more to intervene in the conflicts to provide access to health and other services and end widespread discrimination against IDPs.

Resolving Climate-Related Internal Displacement at a Time of Crisis

By Walter Kälin | Feb 12, 2026

This timely article by one of the world's leading experts on internal displacement highlights the growing crisis of climate-related internal displacement, which is unfolding against the backdrop of drastic funding cuts and humanity's apparent failure to adequately mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Arguing that the world is ill-prepared to address the crisis, including the severe challenges faced by populations living in protracted displacement, the author outlines a bold strategy for change. The blog calls on all stakeholders to acknowledge the severity of loss and damage related to displacement and prioritise durable solutions programming. It also highlights the systemic and financial changes required, including the need to make the still-elusive 'humanitarian-development nexus' a reality. Ultimately, the author makes separate but related recommendations to the United Nations, country donors and affected countries on how, through collaborative multi-year programming, the process of loss associated with displacement can be reversed and deliver sustainable improvements for affected populations.
