Background of the Study
The displacement of communities due to conflict has significant socio-economic impacts, particularly in areas like Bama LGA, Borno State, which has experienced severe displacement due to the Boko Haram insurgency. Displacement camps, which house internally displaced persons (IDPs), are often located in or near areas that previously had functioning local economies. While these camps provide immediate relief and shelter to displaced persons, their long-term effects on the local economy can be detrimental.
Displacement camps often place immense pressure on local resources, including food, water, and healthcare services. The influx of large numbers of people into small areas can overwhelm local markets, lead to rising prices, and create competition for scarce resources. Additionally, the host communities often bear the burden of supporting IDPs, which can strain the local economy and affect the livelihoods of local residents. This study seeks to explore the impact of displacement camps on the local economy of Bama LGA, assessing both positive and negative effects and offering recommendations for mitigating the economic challenges associated with displacement.
Statement of the Problem
Bama LGA has been a major site for displacement due to the ongoing insurgency in Borno State. However, the long-term economic consequences of housing IDPs in displacement camps have not been thoroughly investigated. Local markets, services, and infrastructure are under strain due to the large number of displaced individuals. This study will assess how displacement camps affect the local economy, with a focus on the sustainability of economic activities in Bama LGA.

Research Hypotheses
-
Displacement camps in Bama LGA have a negative impact on the local economy by overstretching resources and services.
-
Host communities in Bama LGA face significant socio-economic challenges due to the influx of displaced persons.
-
Implementing strategies to support both IDPs and host communities can mitigate the economic burden of displacement camps.
