Abstract

A series of civil conflicts in Mali has generated more than 346,000 internally displaced people(UNHCR, 2020). This study estimates the effect of conflict-generated internal displacement on consumption,poverty, and inequality in host communities. Using comprehensive nationwide household survey data this studyfinds that wealth at the commune and household level is non-decreasing in IDP hosting communes relative to non-IDPhost communes. This study also finds some partial evidence of increasing consumption at the household level althoughinequality and poverty at the commune level remain the same. The evidence suggests a fairly successful hosting and aidprocess in Mali for IDPs in terms of mitigating economic disruption for host communities.
