Після повномасштабного вторгнення в лютому 2022 року до численних громад по всій Україні прибули переміщені особи з інших частин країни. Продовження масового переміщення, ймовірно, призведе до зростання навантаження на державні послуги, інфраструктуру, житло та ринок праці в районах, що приймають переселенців. Це, а також сприйняття нерівного доступу до допомоги серед різних груп населення, може призвести до зростання напруженості у відносинах між різними групами чим довше триватиме переміщення.

У цьому контексті в цьому короткому звіті представлені ключові висновки щодо соціальної згуртованості, довіри до державних інституцій, а також переваг довгострокових рішень, зібрані в рамках двох послідовних раундів Загального опитування населення. Він має на меті надати інформацію для програм МОМ із соціальної згуртованості в Україні, а також підтримати ширше науково обґрунтоване програмування, розробку політики, адвокацію та подальші дослідження на цю тему.

The Horn of Africa and Yemen is one of the busiest and riskiest migration corridors in the world travelled by hundreds of thousands of migrants, the majority of whom travel in an irregular manner, often relying on smugglers to facilitate movement along the Eastern Route. This regional report provides monthly updates on the complex migratory dynamics through Djibouti, Somalia, Yemen and Ethiopia based on diverse data sources and consultations with key informants in the four countries. Moreover, it provides information on the main protection concerns for migrants along the journey, information on the spillover effects of the conflict in the Sudan observed at the border with Ethiopia, a specific focus on children and information on the returns from Saudi Arabia to Ethiopia, Somalia and Yemen.
