For HHs living in IDP sites, the primary reasons for leaving their place of origin included security considerations (100%), poor living standards (25%), and lack of accommodation (20%). This aligns with the safety and security criterion of the IASC framework, which emphasizes protection from displacement-related risks and enabling return or resettlement.• 78% of HHs living in IDP sites intended to remain in their current settlements, 20% planned to return to their place of origin, and 2% considered relocating elsewhere in the country. However, 65% of HHs living in IDP sites and 62% of HHs living in host communities lacked the capacity to pursue their preferred movement options. This finding relates to the voluntary movement and settlement choices dimension of the IASC framework, reflecting challenges in supporting informed, voluntary decisions.• Among HHs living in IDP sites, 49% reported feeling integrated into their current settlements, 33% felt neutral, and 14% felt not integrated. Similarly, 53% of HHs living in host communities felt integrated. This finding aligns with the social cohesion and participation in governance dimensions of the IASC framework, reflecting progress in building inclusive and cohesive communities while identifying gaps in full social and political integration.• 98% of HHs living in IDP sites and 91% of HHs living in host communities were unable to meet basic needs independently, with only 4% of HHs living in IDP sites and 2% of HHs living in host communities reporting discrimination when accessing essential services. This highlights gaps in access to essential services, a key component of durable solutions under the IASC framework, where equitable access to services is critical for recovery and promotion of self-reliance.
