Nearly three years since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the armed forces of the Russian Federation, extensive and protracted displacement has affected 3.6 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) and 4.3 million returnees, with a further 6.8 million displaced abroad (as of December 2024).
According to IOM's latest General Population Survey (GPS) data from October 2024, a majority of IDPs (59%) have been displaced for over two years. This protracted displacement is becoming more prevalent, with two thirds of IDPs intending to remain in their current location in the medium term (beyond the three months following data collection). In response, the Government of Ukraine and international partners have prioritised early recovery and durable solutions to internal displacement alongside ongoing humanitarian efforts.
This report adopts a durable solutions framework aligned with the Joint Analytical Framework (JAF) proposed at the Data for Solutions Symposium (March 2023). The report provides information on displaced populations’ perspectives on durable solutions, including the projected stock for each durable solutions pathway. It outlines a narrative analysis of the eight durable solutions criteria across the dimensions of socio-economic integration, security and justice, and community engagement, supplemented by demographic and displacement characteristics to identify vulnerable groups.
