The Republic of Azerbaijan, together with the World Bank, has been supporting efforts to improve IDP livelihoods as part of the Azerbaijan IDP Living Standards and Livelihoods Project. During a recent visit to Azerbaijan in May 2015, the World Bank mission and the Government of the Republic of Azerbaijan agreed to start the preparation of Additional Financing for the IDP Living Standards and Livelihoods project and would support, for the most part, infrastructure that can have clear economic development impacts.
