The Commissariat for Refugees of the Republic of Serbia together with the UNHCR and the Republic’s Organization for Statistics have conducted a survey regarding the needs of internally displaced persons in the Republic of Serbia. The aim of the survey was the determination of the socio-economic situation of the families of internally displaced persons so as to provide for the conceptualization of adequate programs which would be directed at providing solutions to their housing concerns and economically strengthening this section of the population. The survey has been conducted in cooperation with the city/municipal trustees of the Commissariat for Refugees who, by means of this process, have been further familiarized with the living conditions of those depending upon this form of assistance living within their cities/municipalities. Following the revision and analysis of the gathered information the Commissariat for Refugees will have at its disposal a concrete understanding as to the current situation and needs of the IDP population, which will further contribute not only to the development of future programs designed towards providing lasting and sustainable solutions, but, as is our hope will also aid the process of collecting additional resources from potential donors.
