Key findings:
The research results indicate a high level of social vulnerability: 56.3% of respondents have an income that is only sufficient for food, which correlates with the high proportion of women (71.1%) and elderly people among the respondents. The housing sector remains a systemic problem over 44% are dissatisfied with their living conditions, while IDPs consider the provision of social housing and temporary use from relevant funds to be the most effective tools for resolving the issue. The low level of engagement in community life is critical, as only 31% of displaced persons actively participate in local affairs, and the main barriers to integration remain biased attitudes during housing rentals and employment.
