IDMC Severity Assessments 2024

IDMC’s Severity Assessment uses data from REACH Initiative's Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessments to shed light on the living conditions of IDPs in contrast to non-displaced households. The assessment is structured in four dimensions: Safety & Security, Standards of Living, Livelihoods & Housing, and Civic & Social Rights.
