Variation in the type and degree of engagement across contexts suggest that the relationship between displacement and empowerment is mediated by contextual factors.

Displacement experience is positively associated with some manifestations of empowerment compared to control groups, but inconsistently across contexts. Finally, the paper explores heterogeneity among IDPs within cases based on the context of their dis-placement, finding a consistent negative association between camp-based displacement and perceptions of empowerment.
