In September and October 2024, IOM DTM conducted a durable solutions and intentions assessment across 1,360 locations in Ta’iz, Lahj, and Ma’rib governorates. The objective was to better understand the future intentions of conflict-affected populations and inform planning for durable solutions. The assessment included 12,499 households, with 79 per cent of respondents male and 21 per cent female. The surveyed population was composed of 40 per cent host community members, 34 per cent internally displaced persons (IDPs), and 26 per cent IDP returnees. The geographic distribution of the assessment was concentrated in Ta’iz Governorate (54%), followed by Lahj (34%), and Ma’rib (12%). A total of 4,219 IDP households participated in the intentions survey. The findings reveal that the vast majority (74% or 3,121 households) intended to remain in their current location, suggesting a growing trend of local integration, particularly in areas where safety and services are relatively more stable. However, 18 per cent (745 households) expressed an intention to return to their area of origin, while 6 per cent (243 households) were undecided, and 2 per cent (110 households) indicated a desire to settle elsewhere within Yemen or abroad. While reading the findings on IDPs, it is important to keep in mind that this survey only covered IDPs in host community settings without data on persons living in displacement sites.
