Ce rapport donne un aperçu de la situation dans la région de l’Extrême-Nord du Cameroun, où l’insécurité liée aux violences de groupes extrémistes armés et, dans une moindre mesure, les phénomènes climatiques, ont donné lieu à d’importants mouvements de population. Les informations présentées dans ce rapport ont été recueillies auprès des personnes déplacées avec l’accord et le soutien des autorités locales, entre le 25 novembre et le 6 décembre 2019. Le présent rapport communique les informations suivantes : les données démographiques, la répartition géographique ainsi que l’évolution comparative des déplacements depuis le dernier rapport, les origines et destinations des populations déplacées, leurs raisons et périodes de déplacements, leurs types d’hébergement et d’abri et leurs besoins humanitaires prioritaires.  

This dashboard presents information on the displacement situation in the Far North Region of Cameroon. Data was collected between 25 November and 6 December 2019. The displaced population is estimated at 461,664 individuals (297,380 IDPs, 47,305 out of camp refugees and 116,979 returnees). 931 locations were assessed including 68 new villages.

Ce dashboard donne un aperçu de la situation dans la région de l’Extrême-Nord du Cameroun, où l’insécurité liée aux violences de groupes extrémistes armés et, dans une moindre mesure, les phénomènes climatiques, ont donné lieu à d’importants mouvements de population. Les informations présentées dans ce dashboard ont été recueillies auprès des personnes déplacées avec l’accord et le soutien des autorités locales, entre le 25 novembre et le 6 décembre 2019. Lors du round 20 de la DTM, un total de 461 664 individus a été identifié, dont 297 380 PDI (48 111 ménages), 47 305 réfugiés hors camp (7 881 ménages) et 116 979 retournés (soit 17 475 ménages). La population déplacée dans la région a augmenté de 7 pour cent par rapport au round précédent (août 2019). Le nombre de PDI a augmenté de 10 pour cent, le nombre de réfugiés hors camp a augmenté de 1 pour cent et le nombre de retournés a augmenté de 6 pour cent depuis le dernier round. Cette augmentation confirme l’aggravation des conditions climatiques et sécuritaires dans l’Extrême Nord au cours des derniers mois, engendrant de plus en plus de déplacements.

From 20 to 22 January 2020, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in collaboration with National Disasters Mangement Institute (INGC) conducted rapid assessment in 71 resettlement sites across Manica, Sofala, Tete and Zambezia provinces after the heavy rainfall from 18 to 21 January 2020. In total, 136 upgraded shelters, 1,132 emergency shelters and 1,595 tents were completely destroyed due to the heavy rain. IOM identified additional 1,502 shelters (upgraded, emergency shelters and tents) with major structural damages to walls and roofing, 3,705 shelters partially damaged, 1,964 latrines and 14 water points damaged. Seven clinics were damaged, 1 in Buzi (Inhajou 2019 site), 5 in Chibabava (Chicuaxa, Geromi, Mdhala and Muconja site) and 1 in Nhamatanda (7 Abril - Cura site) all in Sofala province and 1 in Mutarara (Panducani site) in Tete province. Fourteen schools were damaged, 4 in Sussudenge (Chibue, Chibue Mateo, Manhama 1 and  Manhama 2 site), 3 in Buzi (IChingemidji, Inhajou 2019 and Maxiquiri alto/Maxiquiri 1 site), 2 in Chibabava (Geromi and Muconja site), 2 in Dondo (Mandruzi and Savane site) and 2 in Nhamatanda (7 Abril - Cura and Ndedja 1 site) all in Sofala province and 1 in Cidade De Tete (Matundo - unidade Chimbonde site) in Tete province. Seventeen Child’s Friendly Space and 4 Women’s Friendly Space were damaged.  

Dès le début de la crise centrafricaine en 2013, des ressortissants tchadiens ont quitté la République centrafricaine pour retourner au Tchad, notamment vers les provinces du Sud (Moyen-Chari, Mandoul, Logone Oriental et Logone Occidental). L'OIM met en oeuvre sa Matrice de suivi des déplacements (DTM) dans les provinces du Moyen-chari et du Logone oriental afin d’évaluer le nombre et les besoins de ces retournés Tchadiens dans ces provinces. Les données sont collectées auprès d'informateurs clés au niveau des villages et des sites accueillant ces retournés. Ce rapport présente les résultats d'évaluations menées entre octobre et novembre 2019 dans 88 localités. Celles-ci ont permis d’identifier 77 650 individus retournés dans 17 413 ménages. La majorité des retournés (61%) vit dans des sites, les plus importants étant Maïngama, Danamadja, Sido Est et Kobiteye.

Summary The DTM Emergency Event Tracking (EET) is deployed to track sudden displacement and population movements, and provide more frequent updates on the scale of displacement and quantify the affected population when needed. As a subcomponent of the new Mobility Tracking methodology in Sudan (Round Zero), and activated on a needs basis, EET utilises a broad network of key informants to capture best estimates of the affected population presence per location – a useful tool for humanitarian response planning and design.

The West and Central Africa Mobility Mapping report is a compilation of maps showing various mobility trends and mobility factors for movements to and from the West and central Africa region (forced displacement, transhumance, labour movements, etc.) This work is based on multiple data collection activities implemented by IOM and other actors (UNDESA, Ministries of Interior of various countries) and showcase the complexity of mobility in the region.

Following the completion of Biometric registration in host communities in Monguno Local Government Area (LGA) in the northeastern state of Borno, 37,925 individuals (11,373 households) were registered. This data is as of 30 November 2019. The average family size within these locations is 3; with 50 per cent containing 3-4 members, 32 per cent containing 1-2 members, 14 per cent containing 5-6 members, 3 per cent containing 7-8 members, and 1 per cent containing 9 and more members as shown below in Figure 1a. Out of the total registered population, 5,626 individuals (1,938 households) which represent 15 per cent were newly registered within the period of 1 April - 30 November 2019. Majority (59%) of the newly registered individuals are from Kukawa LGA, 24% from Guzamala LGA, 12% from wards within Monguno LGA, 3% from Marte, 1% from Nganzai and a further 1% from other LGAs in Borno.   During the exercise, vulnerability data was collected to help understand specific needs of the vulnerable population for targeted support.
