- <p><em><span>This study assessed the strategies, successes, and challenges associated with the reintegration of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Northeast Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design, employing both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The target population for the study was 2,500 individuals, comprising 1,200 IDPs, 800 members of host communities, and 500 officials from government agencies, international organizations, and NGOs directly involved in reintegration activities across three conflict-affected states in Northeast Nigeria: Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed to select the respondents. First, Borno, Yobe, and Adamawa States were purposively selected due to their high concentration of IDPs and reintegration interventions. In each state, two Local Government Areas (LGAs) with active IDP resettlement and reintegration programs were selected, totaling six LGAs. Within each LGA, the study population was stratified into three groups: IDPs, host community members, and reintegration stakeholders. From each group, respondents were randomly selected to ensure representativeness. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire titled Reintegration of Internally Displaced Persons Questionnaire (RIDPQ)and key informant interviews (KII), analyzed with SPSS for quantitative responses (mean and standard deviation) and NVivo for qualitative insights. Findings revealed that strategies such as provision of shelters, vocational training, agricultural support, and infrastructure reconstruction have significantly contributed to reintegration efforts. However, challenges such as persistent insecurity, inadequate funding, destroyed livelihoods, poor healthcare access, and lack of coordination between stakeholders continue to undermine sustainable reintegration. Key informants emphasized the need for community-driven interventions, improved governance, and integrated approaches to peacebuilding and development. The study concluded that while modest progress has been achieved, more coherent, inclusive, and security-sensitive strategies are required for lasting reintegration outcomes. It recommended increased collaboration among stakeholders, improved funding, enhancement of healthcare and legal support, and the strengthening of local security structures.</span></em></p>
