Reports

This infographic presents the key findings of Round 36 of the mobility tracking component of the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) programme in Libya.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in unprecedented containment policies to restrict global human mobility in order to prevent the spread of the virus. To better understand how COVID-19 affects global, national, and sub-national mobility, IOM has developed a global mobility database to map, track and analyse the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Points of Entry (PoE).    IOM Afghanistan's COVID-19 Impact on Points of Entry Report is meant to serve IOM Member States, IOM, UN and voluntary partner agencies, civil society and the media, as well as the general population, to better understand the present conditions, restrictions and response gaps at PoE. DTM in Afghanistan has been regularly monitoring PoEs throughout the pandemic, since March 2020, utilizing a range of knowledgeable key informants, including International Health Regulations (IHR) officials from the Ministry of Public Health, border officials, cross-border communities, and IOM teams working at key border crossing points. This report is accurate to the best of IOM’s knowledge at the time of compilation. The analysis is always dated and timestamped in order to reflect the reality at a given time. However, as the situation at PoE continuously evolves and changes, despite IOM’s best efforts, the analysis may not always accurately reflect the multiple and simultaneous restrictive measures being imposed at a specific location.

This report is part of the outputs under the European Union funded project “Displacement Tracking Matrix Regional Evidence for Migration Analysis and Policy (DTM REMAP)”. The objective of DTM REMAP is to strengthen the evidence-based formulation and implementation of humanitarian and development policy and programming on migration and forced displacement in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, People’s Republic of Bangladesh, Islamic Republic of Iran, Republic of Iraq and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan through the use of the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM).

The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in the East and Horn of Africa (EHoA) region is currently active in six countries (Burundi, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Somalia, South Sudan, and Uganda), and its methodology includes four main components (mobility tracking, flow monitoring, registrations, and surveys).   As of May 2021, DTM in the region tracked 8.8M Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and 3.2M Returnees, as reported during the last round of DTM assessments for each country, or through secondary data sources. March 2021.

Selon les données des évaluations de base de la Matrice de Suivi des Déplacements (DTM, en anglais Displacement Tracking Matrix) de janvier 2021, les résultats montrent que 113 841 personnes (25 475 ménages) étaient déplacées internes. 81% des déplacements étaient dus aux désastres naturels et 19% dus à d’autres raisons (conflits, situation sociopolitique, etc). L’Organisation Internationale pour les Migrations (OIM) en collaboration avec le Gouvernement du Burundi, a conduit une enquête auprès des ménages déplacés, sur les intentions de retour, les causes empêchant le retour et la situation socioéconomique des ménages déplacés internes.

Le 7 juin 2021, des présumés rebelles ADF Nalu en provenance de la localité Budundu ont mené une attaque dans la localité de Boga qui visait particulièrement la mission anglicane , le centre de négoce et l’hôpital général.

Cette attaque est la deuxième signalée dans la localité de Boga en l’espace de deux semaines et fait suite à celle intervenue dans la nuit du 30 au 31 mai 2021. Cette situation a occasionné un important déplacement de populations de Boga vers Bukiringi dans la chefferie de Walendu Bindi, vers Bogoro dans le groupement Babiasi secteur de Baheme Sud et dans la ville de Bunia.

L'éruption du volcan Nyiragongo dans la nuit du 22 au 23 mai 2021, suivie de fortes activités sismiques dans la ville de Goma et, d’un risque élevé d'une nouvelle éruption, ont poussé les autorités provinciales à ordonner à la date du 27 mai 2021 l'évacuation de 10 des 18 quartiers que compte la ville de Goma. L'évacuation de ces quartiers a provoqué un mouvement important de populations venues s’ajouter aux déplacées des zones directement affectées par la coulée de lave, notamment le territoire de Nyiragongo

DTM teams activated EET to monitor the displacement of individuals affected by inter-communal conflict between Masalit and Arab tribes. Clashes initially erupted on 16 January 2021 in the Krinding area of Ag Geneina town, West Darfur. On 3rd April 2021, inter-communal conflict escalated in the Hai Eljabal area of Ag Geneina town, West Darfur, resulting in additional displacement. For more information, please see EET_Ag Geneina, West Darfur_019. The twentieth update estimates a total number of 105,099 individuals (21,020 households) seeking shelter in Ag Geneina and its surrounding villages. The majority of the IDP caseload are currently seeking shelter in Ag Geneina (90%), with the remainder located in Kereneik (6%), Shukry (2%), and Muli (2%). Between 27 May and 12 June, IOM participated in a joint rapid verification exercise with the Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC), WFP, WR, WCC, IAS and UNHCR to verify displaced caseloads across 48 sites in Ag Geneina town as reflected in EET Ag Geneina, West Darfur 18.
