About publication

This material is a report on the results of a needs assessment of internally displaced persons in the Irshava community of Zakarpattia Oblast. The document contains an analysis of the demographic profile of the displaced persons, their financial status, sources of income, and the level of satisfaction with basic needs. The study is based on a survey of 148 individuals.

Who will benefit?

  • Local authorities
  • Activists
  • Journalists

Key findings:

The analysis identified three key barriers to the integration of displaced persons: a housing crisis, low purchasing power, and social passivity. Most IDPs spend their funds only on basic survival, while there is a critical lack of rent compensation programs or affordable lending. For the community, the priority must be the transition from one-time humanitarian aid to systemic solutions: the creation of new jobs with decent pay and the implementation of tools to involve displaced persons in local self-governance.
