Forced Displacement as a Development Issue

Georgetown Anti-Poverty Society (GAPS), Institute for the Study of International Migration (ISIM), and MS in Foreign Service Program (MSFS)

This seminar presents a recent report published by the World Bank and the UNHCR examining forced displacement as both a humanitarian crisis and complex development challenge, requiring a multidimensional approach. In this seminar, our guest lecturer, Xavier Devictor, Program Manager at the World Bank, will also present the World Bank's work among refugees and IDPs more generally, led by the Fragility, Conflict and Violence Group, and share his advice on how graduate students can best prepare themselves to join this challenging field.
Xavier Devictor is managing the Global Program on Forced Displacement (GPFD) at the World Bank. Xavier Devictor, a French national, joined the World Bank in 1996. Prior to joining the Fragility, Conflict and Violence Group, he held various positions working on fragile situations mainly in Africa, Europe, and Central Asia, and the Middle East and North Africa.  His last position was Country manager for Poland and the Baltic Countries.  Prior to joining the World Bank, Mr. Devictor worked in the private sector in Central Europe and in UNHCR. He holds a Master’s degree in Management and Economics from “Ecole Polytechnique” and a Master’s degree in Management and Engineering from “Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussees”.
