“…A second possible explanation for the lower levels of health ODA for IDPs as compared to refugees is that IDPs may also benefit more from ODA not explicitly named for them in CRS. For example, by donors shifting towards more generalised allocations to countries with large IDP populations rather than IDP-specific allocations, such as through pooled funding arrangements as used in Afghanistan, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Somalia ( Ayeni et al., 2021 ; Newbrander et al., 2014 ; The Ministry of Health and Human Service at the Federal Government of Somalia, 2020 ; USAID, 2022 ). This would accord with the initiative to increasingly try to roll the IDP response into more general national development initiatives (although the same argument could also apply to some refugee responses).…”
