Reports
This Middle East and North Africa (MENA) report summarizes mobility restrictions at airports, land and blue border crossing points resulting from the mitigation measures implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Following the border closure in Ethiopia and due to the stricter border management policies in Yemen, some of the migrants who were transiting through Djibouti on their way to the Arabian Peninsula found themselves stranded in the country. These migrants live in spontaneous sites located along the migration route. The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), through its field enumerator teams and key informants, collects data on a daily basis at migrant sites across the country. All reported migrants are Ethiopian nationals.
Suite à la fermeture des frontières en Ethiopie et aux renforcements des contrôles frontaliers au Yémen, certains des migrants qui transitaient par Djibouti afin d'aller vers la péninsule arabique se sont retrouvés bloqués à Djibouti. Ces migrants vivent dans différents sites installés le long de la route migratoire. La Matrice de suivi des déplacements (Displacement Tracking Matrix – DTM), à travers ses équipes d’énumérateurs déployés sur le terrain collecte quotidiennement des données concernant les sites de migrants dans tout le pays. La totalité de ces migrants sont Ehiopiens.
The DTM has identified 117,239 internally displaced persons (IDPs) and 27,754 households in the month of March 2020.
En mars 2020, DTM a identifié 117 239 PDI. Il y a eu une légère augmentation de 288 (+0,2%) du nombre des personnes déplacées par rapport au mois de février, principalement due à des pluies torrentielles.
Ce tableau de bord présente des informations sur les urgences au Burundi pour la semaine du 26 avril au 2 mai 2020. La DTM a identifié 10 757 personnes affectées, dont 10 561 déplacées, par des pluies torrentielles, vents violents et inondations dans les provinces de Bujumbura Rural, Muyinga, Rumonge et Ruyigi. Il est à noter en particulier que la montée des eaux de la rivière Rusizi a causé plus de 9 000 nouveaux déplacements dans la province de Bujumbura Rural.
In response to this pandemic, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in collaboration with the Government of Mozambique’s National Disaster Management Agency (INGC) conducted an assessment in the resettlement sites from 05 to 08 May 2020, with the sole purpose to inform the government and humanitarian partners on the preparedness and precautionary measures that are available in resettlement sites hosting displaced populations since Idai cyclone. The information gathered will help decision-makers to plan interventions and restrictions as well as recommend health and site preparations measures for outbreak prevention and containment in the resettlement sites in the central region.In the 71 resettlement sites assessed, three sites (Bandua 2019 and Maximedje sites in Buzi district of Sofala province and Chibue and Muawa sites in Sussudenga district of Manica province) reported that in the past month, 21 migrant workers from South Africa settled in the sites. Of these four sites, two sites (Bandua 2019 and Maximedje sites) reported medically examining the health condition of the migrants before entry.
In response to COVID-19 pandemic, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in collaboration with the Government of Mozambique conducted an assessment in the resettlement sites in Cabo Delgado and Nampula Provinces from 27 to 30 April 2020, with the sole purpose to inform the government and humanitarian partners on the preparedness and precautionary measures that are available in resettlement sites hosting displaced populations since Cyclone Kenneth. The information gathered will help decision-makers to plan interventions and restrictions as well as recommend health and site preparations measures for outbreak prevention and containment in the resettlement sites in the northern region.
DTM’s Flow Monitoring Registry (FMR) surveys people on the move at key transit points within South Sudan (SSD) and at its borders. It provides an insight into mobility trends, migration drivers and traveller profiles to inform programming by humanitarian and development partners and by the government. In total, 39 Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) were active in February 2020, surveying internal flows and cross-border travel with Uganda (UGA), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Sudan (SDN) and the Central African Republic (CAR). Three FMPs operated on the Ugandan side of the border were deactivated on 31 January and replaced by new FMPs on the South Sudanese side: Kaya FMP (Morobo County) replaced Oraba; Pure and Kerwa FMPs (Kajo-Keji) partly replaced the former point in the Ugandan village of Kerwa (except for a route to Korijo camp); and Owiny Ki Bul FMP was activated on a busier route between Magwi County and Uganda than that covered by the former FMP Aweno Olwiyo. Figures are only indicative of existing trends among respondents at the active FMPs since DTM does not have full coverage of cross-border or internal flows. Participation in the survey is voluntary and anonymous. The summary dataset for February 2020 is available at this link.

In total, 39 Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) were active in March 2020, surveying internal flows and cross-border travel with Uganda (UGA), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Sudan (SDN) and the Central African Republic (CAR). There was no change in the number or location of FMPs relative to February, but restrictions on cross-border movement were imposed on 24 March by the Government of South Sudan with the aim of preventing the spread of COVID-19 (see DTM’s COVID-19 Mobility Update). Neighbouring countries also imposed mobility restrictions. Figures are only indicative of existing trends among respondents at the active FMPs since DTM does not have full coverage of cross-border or internal flows. Participation in the survey is voluntary and anonymous. The summary dataset for March 2020 is available at this link.
The ongoing conflict in Yemen, since March 2015, has led to the displacement of more than 3.6 million people (according to DTM's 2018 Area Assessment). DTM's Rapid Displacement Tracking tool collects and reports on numbers of households forced to flee on a daily basis, allowing for regular reporting of new displacements in terms of numbers, geography and needs. From 01 January 2020- 9 May 2020, IOM Yemen DTM estimates that 13,150 Households or 78,900 Individuals have experienced displacement, at least once. Between the 3rd May 2020 and 9th of May 2020, the highest number of displacements were seen in: · Al Dhale'e (100 HH) – Ad Dhale'e (21 HH), Jahaf (21 HH), Qa'atabah (18 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were originated from Al Dhale'e and Aden. · Marib (56 HH) – Marib (36 HH), Marib City (12 HH), Sirwah (5 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were originated from Al Jawf and Marib. · Taizz (43 HH) – Jabal Habashy (11 HH), Al Mudhaffar (6 HH), As Silw (6 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were originated from Taiz and Aden. Most displacement resulted from increased conflict in the following Governorates and districts. · Aden (72 HH) – Al Mansura (16 HH), Attawahi (15 HH), Ash Shaikh Outhman (13 HH) districts. · Al Dhale'e (50 HH) – Qa'atabah (23 HH), Al Husha (20 HH), Ad Dhale'e (6 HH) districts. · Al Jawf (35 HH) – Khabb wa ash Sha'af (14 HH), Al Hazm (8 HH), Al Khalq (5 HH) districts. Methods used: · DTM’s Rapid Displacement Tracking (RDT) tool collects and reports on numbers of households forced to flee on a daily basis, allowing for regular reporting of new displacements in terms of numbers, geography and needs. Limitations: · DTM Yemen is unable to report on figures in some governorates due to access limitations.
In 2019, DTM South Sudan implemented all four DTM components - Mobility Tracking, Biometric Registration, Flow Monitoring and Surveys. The infographics provides an overview of achievments and key figures related to DTM operations run between January and December 2019.
