The purpose of this study was to start identifying gaps and areas for further engagement. The report would not have been possible without the support of GoA counterparts. The report pursues the argument that in order to expand the choice of IDP livelihoods it is possible to build upon and extend economic activities in which they are already involved and which are currently unprofitable. Indeed, the report shows that many IDPs do seek to supplement their household incomes through a range of strategies but, due to a series of constraints, these strategies neither provide a viable employment source nor bring in substantial incomes. The report concludes that, two decades after their forced displacement, the IDPs' economic and social development still lagged behind that of the rest of the non-displaced population, and they needed continued support. Therefore, targeted investments by the GoA to support IDPs are justified and are still required to address their specific vulnerabilities.CC BY 3.0 IGOABSOLUTE POVERTYACCESS TO ELECTRICITYACCESS TO HOUSEHOLDACCESS TO MARKETSACCESS TO SERVICESAGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIESAGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVESAGRICULTURAL INPUTSAGRICULTURAL LANDAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONANIMAL BREEDINGANIMAL HUSBANDRYARMED CONFLICTBASIC EDUCATIONCALORIES PER DAYCAPCASH TRANSFERSCOLLECTIVE FARMSCOMMUNAL LANDCOMMUNITY GROUPSCONFLICTCONSUMER PRICE INDEXCOPING MECHANISMSDEPENDANTSDISASTERSDISSEMINATIONDISTRIBUTION OF LANDECONOMIC INSECURITYECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESECONOMIC SHOCKECONOMIC SHOCKSECONOMIC STATUSELDERLYELDERLY PERSONSEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPLOYMENT PROMOTIONEMPLOYMENT SOURCEEMPLOYMENT STATUSFAMILY INCOMEFAMILY MEMBERSFARMERSFARMING ACTIVITIESFEMALE PARTICIPANTSFEMALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDSFINANCIAL CONSTRAINTSFLEXIBILITYFOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONSFODDERGENDER ROLESGENERATION OF CHILDRENGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGOVERNMENT PROGRAMSGOVERNMENT RESPONSEGOVERNMENT SUPPORTHEALTH CAREHEALTH SERVICESHOUSEHOLD COMPOSITIONHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD HEADSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD INCOME DIVERSIFICATIONHOUSEHOLD INCOMESHOUSEHOLD LEVELHOUSEHOLD LIVING STANDARDSHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD SUBSISTENCEHOUSINGHUMAN ASSETSHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN RIGHTSILL HEALTHINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOMEINCOME GENERATIONINCOME RISKINCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIESINDIVIDUAL HOUSEHOLDSINEQUITIESINTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCEIRRIGATIONJOB OPPORTUNITIESKIDSLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKETSLABOR SUPPLYLACK OF SKILLSLAND ASSETSLEGAL STATUSLEVELS OF CONSUMPTIONLITERACY RATESLIVELIHOODLIVELIHOOD OPPORTUNITIESLIVELIHOOD PERSPECTIVELIVELIHOOD STRATEGIESLIVELIHOODSLIVING CONDITIONSLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL POPULATIONMIGRATIONMINORITYNATIONAL LEVELNATURAL ASSETSNATURAL GASNUMBER OF ADULTSNUMBER OF CHILDRENPEACEPENSIONSPLACES OF ORIGINPOLICY DIALOGUEPOORPOOR HEALTHPOPULATION GROUPSPOPULATION STATISTICSPOVERTY ASSESSMENTPOVERTY COMPARISONSPOVERTY DATAPOVERTY ESTIMATESPOVERTY GAPPOVERTY INCIDENCEPOVERTY INCIDENCE OFPOVERTY LEVELPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY MEASURESPOVERTY RATEPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY RISKPOVERTY SITUATIONPOVERTY STATUSPRESIDENTIAL DECREEPRIMARY EDUCATIONPROGRAMMATIC POVERTY ASSESSMENTPROVISION OF ASSISTANCEPROVISION OF SUPPORTPUBLIC SERVICEQUALITATIVE DATAQUALITATIVE RESEARCHQUALITY SERVICESREFUGEEREFUGEESREGIONAL CITIESREGIONAL VICE PRESIDENTRESPECTRURALRURAL AREASRURAL POPULATIONSAFETY NETSAMPLE SIZESANITATIONSANITATION FACILITIESSAVINGSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSELF-RELIANCESELF-SUFFICIENCYSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL CAPITALSOCIAL COHESIONSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL INSTITUTIONSSOCIAL ISSUESSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL RESEARCHSPOUSETERTIARY EDUCATIONTRANSACTION COSTSTRANSPORTATIONTRAUMAUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT RATESUNIVERSITY EDUCATIONURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSURBAN DEVELOPMENTURBAN DWELLERSURBAN ENVIRONMENTSURBANIZATIONVEGETABLESVICTIMSVOCATIONAL TRAININGVULNERABILITYWELFARE INDICATORSWOMANWORK FORCEYOUNG MENYOUNG PEOPLEWorld Bank10.1596/2794
