dc.description.abstractThis study investigates the nature and effectiveness of UNHCR’s humanitarian support to internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Ethiopia since 2018. The study was conducted on the Amhara Regional State, North Shewa Zone, specifically the Debre Berhan China and Woynishet IDP camps. Through a qualitative method approach, employing key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis, was utilized to explore UNHCR’s role in providing immediate relief, protection, and durable solutions. The findings revealed that while UNHCR’s humanitarian response adhered to international norms and principles, challenges persisted in stakeholder engagement, coordination, and the implementation of long-term solutions. The humanitarian support often failed to address the root causes of displacement or provide durable solutions, leaving IDPs vulnerable to continued hardship. To enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of humanitarian assistance for IDPs in Ethiopia, recommendations include developing comprehensive implementation strategies, strengthening partnerships, prioritizing durable solutions, and advocating for increased and flexible funding to address the underlying drivers of displacement. Key words Durable solutions, Effectiveness, Humanitarian support, Internally Displaced Persons, and United Nation High Commissioner for Refugees
