Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons. Challenges in Eastern Chad

The information contained in this report is based on our permanent presence
in Sila and Ouaddaï, as well as numerous interviews held with members of
displaced, relocated and repatriated communities (98 individual interviews and
59 group discussions between October and November 2011), authorities and
humanitarian aid workers at the various IDPs sites, and host villages and
home villages in Sila and Assoungha. Interviews focused on reasons
motivating the choices of IDPs (integration, relocation or return), the amount of
information and assistance they had received to help them with their choice,
living conditions in IDPs sites or home villages (security and means of
subsistence), as well as their perception of the government’s contribution to
providing for conditions that would allow for the successful implementation of
more durable solutions.
