Supporting self-reliance for displaced and host populations: insights from the Self-Reliance Index across 16 countries.
Article in BMJ global health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo examine household-level patterns of self-reliance among forcibly displaced and host populations using the Self-Reliance Index (SRI) and identify opportunities for strengthening humanitarian programming, policy frameworks and service delivery systems that support sustainable well-being.
methodsThis secondary analysis draws on data from 7850 households collected by 10 organisations across 16 countries between 2020 and 2024. The SRI assesses self-reliance across 12 domains. We analysed baseline and longitudinal data disaggregated by camp and non-camp settings using descriptive and inferential statistics.
findingsBaseline SRI scores were low overall (mean=2.21, SD=0.81, scale 1-5), indicating unmet essential needs and high reliance on external assistance. Among 1962 households assessed longitudinally, non-camp households demonstrated significant improvements (p<0.001) in employment (+0.66), financial resources (+0.0.60), debt reduction (+1.05) and savings (+1.21). Camp-based households, in contrast, showed minimal improvements, with some domains declining.
conclusionThese findings highlight the potential for targeted programming in non-camp environments to foster household resilience. Policy reforms, multisectoral investments and inclusive development strategies are essential to support sustainable self-reliance among displaced populations and host communities.
