The decade-long internal conflict in Nepal displaced a substantial number of people. Because of traditional,economic migration and coping mechanisms of the displaced, the victims of forced displacement remained less visible, but the numbers were estimated to be as high as 200,000 at the height of the conflict. The signing of the Comprehensive Peace Accord in 2006 made return possible for many. Since the previous issue of the Thematic Report on Internally Displaced Persons of July 20071, many have returned to their place of origin, the majority on their own, and some with the assistance of NGOs. There is however still uncertainty connected to the actual number of returns, as there is to the absolute number of people displaced due to the conflict. The “new displacement” in the Central and Eastern Terai districts observed since the beginning of 2007 has continued on a low level:it appears to be happening in a planned and discrete manner. Follow-up of the work with the Directives for the implementation of the national IDP policy is ongoing. This work was initiated by a task force established in July 2007 which completed its work in November 2007.
