Changes to Resolution #332, which came into effect in March 2024, introduced new criteria for eligibility, focusing on factors such as income level, employment status, and specific vulnerabilities, to refine the allocation of the IDP allowance. These changes have raised concerns about the exclusion of some vulnerable IDPs. As a result of advocacy from the humanitarian community, the CMU adopted new amendments to Resolution #332 on 22 March 2024, adding five more vulnerable groups (expanding to 15), including IDPs of pre-pension age and adults with serious medical conditions. Some of these groups had their eligibility status automatically extended, while others were asked to reapply to confirm their eligibility.

This update aims to analyse the effects of the new eligibility criteria for extension of the allowance on the IDP population by examining five key indicators related to the proportion of IDPs who reported:

  • Holding of a valid IDP registration,
  • Receipt of the IDP allowance prior to the amendment (from February 2022 to March 2024),
  • Re-application for the allowance post-March 2024 under the new law,
  • Receipt of the IDP allowance post-March 2024,
  •  Loss of the allowance following the amendment of Resolution #332.
