Summary- for the highlight:
The intention survey provides insights into the IDP movement intentions from 41 gatering sites in the Rabak locality, White Nile state. It covers their origins, planned destinations, factors influencing their movement intentions, health and nutrition of infants and young children, as well as preferences for humanitarian assistance. The overall findings are statistically representative of IDP households in gathering sites in the Rabak, White Nile state, with a 95% confidence level and a 5% margin of error.
Key findings:
The majority of displaced households in Rabak (94%) were reportedly from the State of Khartoum, and 90% moved to Rabak since the onset of the crisis in April 2023.
Most IDP households (86%) intended to remain in Rabak. Those intending to move reported insufficient humanitarian assistance and distance from family as the main reasons.
In-spite of the continued violence, about a quarter of displaced households reported that they had attempted (but failed) to return to their state/locality of origin. Households headed by 18-25-year-olds were more likely to make these failed return attempts.
Malaria (41%), flu (45%), and fever (30%) were the predominant reported types of illness among infants and young children.
The main reported priority needs among the IDP households were food (95%), healthcare (92%), and security (79%). Cash (92%) was the most reported preferred method of receiving humanitarian aid.
