Assessment of Infrastructure Provision in Internally Displaced Persons Centres in Specific Camps in Nigeria

The worldwide issue of displaced individuals has resulted in significant consequences for human development, including starvation, insecurity, and mortality. This research aimed to assess the infrastructure availability in facilities for Internally Displaced Persons in Abuja and Borno State. The study utilized quantitative methods and involved stratified sampling to categorize the population into IDPs camps (Durumi Area 1, New Kuchingoro, Muna IDPs, and Kundugi camp), with convenience sampling for the selection of 385 IDPs. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaires. The findings revealed a non-significant result with a p-value of 0.58, suggesting that the four IDP camps urgently require basic infrastructure. Additionally, another aspect of the results showed non-significance with a p-value of 0.34, suggesting that the infrastructure in IDP camps does not meet global standards. The study concluded that the level of infrastructure delivery in the camps in Abuja and Borno is below the minimum standard set by UNHCR and recommended adequate provision of basic infrastructure and other essential needs in line with UNHCR obligations.
