Nine of the world’s 10 most neglected displacement crises are in sub-Saharan Africa, according to an international aid group, the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC).
Each year, the group publishes the list of the 10 most neglected displacement crises in the world to draw attention to the emergencies that have been forgotten.
The neglected crisis list is based on a review of over 40 displacement crises based on three criteria: lack of funding, lack of media attention, and political and diplomatic neglect.
“There is little diplomatic political efforts to end the crisis, leading to less journalists going there, leading to less attention and less donor money, therefore fewer aid workers there,” Egeland said in an interview with Aljazeera.
To improve the attention neglected crises receive, the NRC recommends diplomatic efforts towards political solutions, more flexible and predictable funding, and more investment in advocacy.
