About Development Induced Displacement (DID) It is characterized by the permanent relocation of all households within a geographic area as a result of the construction of infrastructure projects. Categories: DID may be divided into two categories (direct and indirect): o Direct displacement refers to those cases, where due to the initiation and construction of developmental projects there is a direct displacement of people. o Indirect displacement occurs when the people are forced to leave the area due to the functioning of those developmental projects. This is because the functioning of the projects consumes the natural and environmental resources in the surrounding and deprives their traditional means of livelihood. Global Status: o Direct displacement: Assessments sponsored by the World Bank have estimated that every year since 1990, roughly 10 million people worldwide have been displaced involuntarily by infrastructural development projects.
