Chaque année, les éleveurs transhumants en Mauritanie accompagnent leurs troupeaux à la recherche de pâturages. L'OIM a mis en œuvre l'outil de suivi des mouvements transhumants (Transhumance Tracking Tool, TTT), qui comporte deux volets: 1) le comptage et 2) les enquêtes. La deuxième ronde de collecte de données a été réalisée entre le 22 avril et 16 mai 2019, en collaboration avec le Groupement National des Associations Pastorales (GNAP).   Ce tableau de bord présente les principales informations obtenues lors d'un comptage de troupeaux, personnes et animaux effectué dans 10 zones dans les régions de Trarza, Gorgol et Guidimagha, ainsi que les résultats des enquêtes menées avec 605 berges dans les mêmes localités.

The DTM Monthly Regional Update contains consolidated summary updates and highlights from DTM field operations.

It is published on a monthly basis and covers the West and Central Africa Region.

A fire incident at the Government Senior Science Secondary School (GSSSS) Camp, Monguno, on 5th November 2019, at around 11 AM, has left 342 individuals (119 households) without shelters and belongings. It was estimated that 191 makeshift and emergency shelters were burnt, and further 51 shelters were pulled down in the process of putting off the fire. The affected population include 124 children, 90 men, 106 women and 22 elderly and have been relocated to the INTERSOS reception center of Water Board Camp by the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) unit of IOM.   They are in immediate need of shelters, food items and Non-Food Items (NFIs) such as cooking utensils, mattresses, blankets, jerry cans, buckets and sanitary kits. The incident left some of them traumatized and there will be need for psychosocial support.   To mitigate such incidents as we approach the harmattan season where dry gusty winds will act as combustion for exposed/unguarded fires, it is imperative that fire sensitization campaigns are carried out and IDPs are advised to make use of safe kitchen spaces constructed in camps.  

Dans le cadre de sa dix-neuvième phase de la Matrice de suivi des déplacements (DTM), l’Organisation Internationale pour les Migrations (OIM) a mené une enquête sur les intentions de retour ciblant les Personnes Deplacées Internes (PDI) et réfugiés hors camp dans la région de l’Extrême-Nord du Cameroun. L’enquête a eu lieu du 9 au 16 octobre 2019 dans les six départements de la région: Diamare, Mayo-Danay, Mayo-Kani, Mayo Tsanaga, Mayo-Sava, et Logone-et-Chari. L'enquête a été menée dans 525 localités auprès de 2 968 ménages deplacés. Parmi les menages enquetes, 89 pour cent, se sont déplacés en raison d’incidents sécuritaires (conflit lié à Boko Haram) et 321 ménages (317 ménages PDI et 4 ménages réfugiés hors camps), correspondant à 11 pour cent des ménages enquêtés, se sont déplacés en raison d’aléas climatiques (inondations). 70% des PDI et réfugiés ne souhaitaient pas quitter le lieu actuel. Plus de 80% des ménages enquêtés. Parmi ceux qui souhaitent partir, 26 pour cent des populations déplacées enquêtés souhaiteraient retourner dans leur localité d’origine, 4 pour cent voudraient partir dans une autre localité et moins d’1 pour cent, exclusivement représentés parmi les réfugiés hors camp, souhaiteraient se rendre dans le camp de Minawao. 

The DTM Monthly Regional Update contains consolidated summary updates and highlights from DTM field operations. This document covers updates from the regional network of flow monitoring of migrants, as well as the tracking and monitoring of internal displacement in the different countries. It is published on a monthly basis and currently covers three regions: West and Central Africa, Middle East and North Africa, and East and the Horn of Africa.

The crisis currently affecting the Lake Chad Basin states results from a complex combination of factors, including conflict with Non-State Armed Groups, extreme poverty, underdevelopment and a changing climate, which together have triggered significant displacement of populations. As of 25 September 2019, Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria were hosting an estimated 4,645,660 affected individuals made up of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), Refugees (both in- and out-of-camp), Returnees (Former IDPs and Returnees from abroad) and Third Country Nationals (TCNs). 79 per cent of the affected population (representing 3,661,052 individuals) were located in Nigeria, while 10 per cent resided in Cameroon (487,691 individuals), 6 per cent in Niger (258,899 individuals) and 5 per cent in Chad (238,018 individuals).

Three major earthquakes hit North Cotabato on 16, 29 and 31 October 2019, at 6.3, 6.6 and 6.5 magnitudes respectively. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council reports that aftershocks are expected over the coming days and weeks. Intensity VII was felt in Kidapawan City, Tulunan, M'lang and Makilala in North Cotabato; Magsaysay and Digos City in Davao del Sur. Many communities in these areas were cut-off due to landslides and otherwise damaged roads, and repsoners are slowly gaining access to them.

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 the beginning of the year until 09th November DTM estimates that 63,386 Households or 380,316 Individuals have experienced displacement, at least once.   Between 03rd and 09th November, the highest number of displacements were seen in ·         Taizz (165 HH) – In Jabal Habashy (35 HH) and Dimnat Khadir (20 HH) districts.  Most of displaced households were originated from Taizz, Aden and Al Hudaydah. ·         Ibb (114 HH) – In Hubaysh (27 HH) and Al Makhadir (19 HH) and districts. Mostly arriving from Al Dhale'e. ·         Al Dhale’e (99 HH) – Ad Dhale'e  (50 HH) and Qa'atabah (23 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal. Most displacement resulted due to increased conflict in the following Governorates and districts. ·         Al Dhale'e (192 HH) – Qa'atabah (152 HH) and Al Husha (26 HH) districts. ·         Taizz (126 HH) – Mawiyah (39 HH) and Jabal Habashy (36 HH) districts. ·         Al Hudaydah (58 HH) –  Al Hawak (9 HH), At Tuhayat (9 HH) districts.

ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: flood (81%), voluntary relocation (9%), poor living conditions (5%), conflict/attack (3%), fear of attack (1%), improved security (1%), and military operations (1%).

Chaque année, les éleveurs transhumants en Mauritanie accompagnent leurs troupeaux à la recherche de pâturages. La transhumance est une méthode d'élevage basée sur des mouvements réguliers et pendulaires qui suivent le rythme des saisons, en suivant le rythme des saisons. Ce déplacement saisonnier permet aux bergers de subsister dans des environnements marqués par une volatilité climatique et une insécurité alimentaire prononcées.  L'OIM a mis en oeuvre l'outil de suivi des mouvements transhumants (Transhumance Tracking Tool, TTT), qui comporte deux volets: 1) le comptage et 2) les enquêtes. Une première collecte de données a été réalisée entre le 18 mars et 18 avril 2019, en collaboration avec le Groupement National des Associations Pastorales (GNAP).  Cette page présente les principales informations obtenues lors d'un comptage de troupeaux effectué dans 10 zones dans les régions de Trarza, Gorgol et Guidimagha. Au cours de cet exercice, des énumérateurs ont compté tous les troupeaux passant par chaque localité couverte par le TTT, y compris les transhumants qui les accompagnent, quatre jours par semaine. Des informations par rapport aux lieux de départ et de destination finale envisagée ont également été enregistrées. 

During August 2019, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) conducted 7,298 interviews with households or groups representing  17,379  individual movements into and out of Bentiu Protection of Civilians (PoC) site, Malakal PoC site, Wau PoC Adjacent Area (AA) site and Wau collective centres (Cathedral, Nazareth, St. Joseph, Lokoloko and Masna combined in analysis).  There have been few new entries or permanent exits in August compared to the rest of the year. New entries represented two per cent (371 individuals) and intended permanent exits represented one per cent (92 individuals) of all monitored individual movements. This compares to five and eight per cent respectivelyin January 2019 with new entries making up an even higher percentage of movements in March to May due a significant influx into Wau displacement sites from Jur River as reported on in population count reports. Intended permanent exits have been at only one or two per cent since April in contrast to the average of nine per cent calculated for the period between December 2018 and February 2019.
