From 22 July to 8 August 2019, in close coordination with Mozambique’s National Institute for Disaster Management (INGC), IOM DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) teams conducted multi-sectoral location assessments (MSLA) at resettlement sites in the four affected Provinces. The DTM teams interviewed key informants capturing population estimates, mobility patterns, and multi-sectoral needs and vulnerabilities.
From the period 19 – 25 August, a total of 6,980 movements were recorded, composed of 1,371 arrivals and 5,609 departures. Arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Damboa, Gwoza, Maiduguri, Mobbar, Monguno and Ngala Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Borno state, and locations in Demsa, Girei, Gombi, Hong, Lamurde, Madagali, Maiha, Mayo-Belwa Michika, Mubi North, Mubi South, Numan, Song, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa state. Departures were recorded in Askira/Uba, Gubio, Gwoza, Kala/Balge and Magumeri LGAs of Borno state, locations in Fufore, Girei, Gombi, Hong, Madagali, Maiha, Mayo-Belwa, Michika, Mubi North, Mubi South, Numan and Yola North LGAs of Adamawa state. ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: conflict/attack (74%), voluntary relocation (13%), poor living conditions (7%), improved security (2%), flood (1%), military operations (1%), involuntary relocation (0.9%) and fear of attack (0.4%).
During July 2019, DTM has identified 109,372 internally displaced persons (IDPs) and 24,466 households.

De 22 de Julho a 8 de Agosto de 2019, as equipas da IOM na área de DTM (matriz de localização de deslocamentos) em coordenação com o Instituto Nacional de Gestão de Calamidade de Moçambique (INGC), realizaram avaliações multi-Sectoriais (MSLA) em Bairros de Reassentamento nas quatro províncias afectadas. As equipas da DTM entrevistaram os informantes chave para capturar as estimativas dos populações, os padrões de movimentos, as necessidades e vulnerabilidades Multi-Sectoriais.
The geopolitical zones of North Central and North West in Nigeria have been affected by a multidimensional crisis, rooted in deep and historic rifts and rekindled in 2013 by worsening socioeconomic and environmental conditions in the two regions. The crisis accelerated in January 2018 with the intensification of attacks, leading to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of individuals. By the end of 2018, one million individuals had been displaced. While many of the IDPs displaced that year have been able to return, hundreds of thousands remain displaced for lack of security and the fear of being attacked en route or upon their return. Further, many are unable to go back, having had their properties and land destroyed by armed groups. The crisis continues to displace populations on a regular basis in the states of Benue, Nasarawa, Plateau and (North Central) and Kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, Katsina and Zamfara (North West). One of the crisis’ main issue is the dispute between herders and farmers. Transhumant cattle raisers and sedentary farmers historically cohabitated in the region, with transhumant herders accompanying cattle along transhumance corridors, cutting through farmland, in search of water points and land to graze. In recent years, as water sources and land to graze have declined, transhumance routes increasingly encroached on farmland, raising tensions between herders and farmers and often leading to violent clashes. Another major topic of contention in the affected regions are communal conflicts pitting ethnic and language-based communities. These tensions date back to the division of the country into states, which separated ethnic and language groups and led to the forced cohabitation of often antagonistic groups. Tensions over resources and land, exacerbated by climate change, have escalated into communal conflicts that have displaced significant numbers of people. The crisis in North Central and North West is multifaceted, involving conflict between ethnic and language groups, tensions between transhumant and nomadic herders and sedentary farmers, as well as attacks by armed herdsmen on local population and banditry from criminal groups, such as kidnapping and grand larceny along major highways. These tensions often cross-cut religious tensions between Muslim and Christian communities, in particular in the North West. IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) was first implemented in Nasarawa and Abuja in August 2015. After the crisis in North West and Central Nigeria flared in early 2018, providing support to affected populations became paramount. As a result, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) broadened the reach of its DTM to the entire affected area, to assess the numbers and trends of displacement and gain insight into the profiles, needs and vulnerabilities of displaced populations. The information collected seeks to inform the government of Nigeria as well as and the humanitarian community with a better understanding of population movement and displacement in the two zones, and aims at better informing response activities and relief provision for affected populations.
