SUMMARY
Lvivska oblast has been playing a key role in hosting displaced people in Ukraine since 24 February 2022. According to official figures, as of January 2023, around 247,000 people were registered in the region as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).1 Among those, a significant number are hosted in collective sites (CSs). While there are indications that needs among the population in CSs are higher than for the displaced population outside CSs and host communities, there is limited data available to allow for representative comparisons between these demographics.
The purpose of this assessment is to provide an overview of the needs and concerns of displaced populations in Lvivska oblast, comparing with the needs and concerns of the host community, while assessing how they are being met by local and international actors. To that end, REACH conducted 1,287 households (HH) surveys with displaced households in collective sites (IDP households in CSs), displaced households living in the community (IDP households outside CSs), and non-displaced households (non-IDP households). Findings are complemented by interviews and discussions with civil society organisations (CSOs), representatives of local authorities, public service providers (PSPs), and international humanitarian respondents.
