This research is needed to determine:
first, best methods for determining a) the population size and vulnerabilities, such as mortality rate and b) the specific needs of these IDPs, especially in urban settings, and second, determine best practices for integrating programs across sectors, such as
credit:
a) gender-based violence and protection or mental health services, b) access to potable water and improved sanitation and impact on nutrition or water-borne diseases, c) combining mental health and primary healthcare services.
The programs should be proven to be effective individually so that the synergy of them is what is investigated.
