KEY MESSAGES• Access to housing remained precarious, with 40% of HHs living in IDP sites living in severely damaged shelters, 26% in completely destroyed shelters, and nearly half (49%) fearing eviction, while 26% experienced eviction incidents in the last six months prior to data collection. Given that 59% of HHs living in IDP sites cited poor shelter conditions as a key reason for leaving their area of origin, improving shelter conditions and securing land tenure are crucial for promoting stability, facilitating integration, and advancing durable solutions readiness.• A significant gap in access to essential services existed, with only 13% of HHs living in IDP sites having access to healthcare services and 14% of HHs living in IDP sites accessing educational facilities in their current settlement in the three months prior to data collection. Enhancing service delivery is crucial for fostering self-reliance and strengthening community cohesion.• More than half (51%) of HHs living in IDP sites expressed their intention to return to their place of origin within 12 months following data collection, while 39% intended to remain in their current settlements, indicating a willingness to integrate. Targeted interventions to improve living conditions, rebuild trust, and address barriers to return are critical for facilitating these preferences and promoting long-term solutions.
