IOM manages the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in Nigeria and other countries around the world, to support humanitarian communities with data on displacement and mobility. This information management product determines the status, locations, and needs of people affected by the ongoing conflict in Northeast Nigeria. As of 29 May 2019, the DTM has identified 1,980,036 IDPs (392,019 households) across Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, and Yobe States. This represents an increase of two per cent (31,687 persons) over  Round 26, while the number of returns from neighbouring regions into situations of secondary displacement has also been on the increase.

DTM Round 27 Site Assessment Dashboard.

 IDP Population Variation Dashboard.

DTM Round 27 assessments were carried out from 25 March to 29 May 2019 in 107 LGAs including 795 wards in the conflict-affected north-eastern Nigerian states of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe. As per the assessment, 1,980,036 individuals were recorded as being displaced in the affected states, a nominal increase of less than two per cent, or 31,687 individuals, from the number of IDPs recorded in the previous round of assessment conducted in January 2019. The number, however, is lower than the 2,026,602 IDPs recorded in Round 25, which was carried out before the onset of the current escalation of violence in October 2018. The number of areas accessible to humanitarian actors has been steadily decreasing on account of the exponential increase in attacks and kidnappings by Non-State Armed Groups (NSAG), counter offensives by the Nigerian security forces and the overall deterioration in the security situation.  In fact, the reduction in numbers of IDPs and locations accessed in the last 2 rounds of assessment is a marked deviation from the trends since December 2017 and should be understood not as an actual drop in numbers, but as a result of the restricted coverage of assessments. To illustrate, 1.7 million IDPs were recorded in February 2018. This number increased to 2 million by October 2018. Similarly, 110 LGAs with 807 wards were accessible during Round 25 and only 2 LGAs were inaccessible, namely: Abadam and Marte. But in Round 26, 13 wards were inaccessible and populous LGAs like Guzamala, Kukawa and Kala/Balge in the most-affected State of Borno were no longer accessible. Likewise, in Round 27, only 107 LGAs were accessible.LGAs like Guzamala, Kukawa and Kala/ Balge remained inaccessible. Access was gained in 1 ward since Round 26 was conducted in January 2019. Lastly, the number of sites assessed by DTM enumerators also decreased in DTM Round 27 assessments. Only 2,383 locations could be assessed during Round 27, which represents a 3 per cent reduction over the 2,457 locations that were assessed in Round 26.  

On the 24 June 2019 IOM, in close coordination with the Government of Mozambique agency Instituto Nacional de Gestão de Calamidades, conducted the third round of the multi-sectoral location assessments in two sites in Cabo Delago Province, in Pemba City and Metuge.

Tropical Cyclone Kenneth made landfall in north Mozambique the night of 25 April 2019. On 24 June 2019, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), in coordination with the Government of Mozambique through National Institute for Disaster Risk Management (INGC), carried out the third round of site assessments in two open sites. One in Pemba city (Chuiba Transit Centre) and one in Metuge (Tratara Transit Centre) in the Cabo Delgado province in northern Mozambique.

Within the period of 17 - 23 June, a total of 3,700 movements were recorded, including 2,190 arrivals and 1,510 departures. Arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Biu, Damboa, Gwoza, Hawul, Kala Balge, Mobbar, Monguno and Ngala Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Borno state and locations in Demsa, Fufore, Girei, Gombi, Guyuk, Hong, Madagali, Maiha, Mayo Belwa, Michika, Mubi North, Mubi South, Numan, Song, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa state. Departures were recorded at Askira/Uba, Damboa, Gwoza and Kala Balge LGAs of Borno state and locations in Demsa, Fufore, Girei, Guyuk, Hong, Madagali, Maiha, Mayo Belwa, Michika, Mubi North, Mubi South, Song, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa state. ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: voluntary relocation (43%), improved security (19%), fear of attack (9%), ongoing conflict (1%) military operation (5%) and poor living conditions (23%).

Since the onset of armed conflict in the southern areas of Tripoli on 04 April 2019, a significant number of people have been affected by the conflict. As per the most recent flash update published by IOM Libya’s Displacement Tracking Matrix, at least 20,975 families (approximately 104,875 individuals) were identified as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). Furthermore, the conflict has also affected migrants and refugees held in the detention centers as well as those in urban locations. As of 28 June, around 3,819 migrants were held in DCIM detention centers located near conflict-affected areas and are among the most vulnerable populations at risk. On 02 July, an airstrike hit Tajoura Detention Center; according to initial information from health sector partners and UNOCHA, the incident led to the death of at least 53 migrants and injuries of more than 130 migrants. Furthermore, the large population of migrants present outside detention centers (urban migrants) also constitutes a particularly vulnerable group and their protection remains a concern.

The objective of the Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) is to quickly collect information on sudden displacements of populations. Information is collected through key informant interviews and direct observation. This dashboard provides information on events which occurred from 24 to 29 June 2019 in 2 sites and 1 village in the Lac province.

Le suivi des urgences a pour but de recueillir des informations sur les mouvements importants et soudains de populations. Les informations sont collectées à travers des entretiens avec des informateurs clés ou des observations directes. Ce rapport présente les informations sur des mouvements survenus du 24 au 29 Juin 2019, dans  2 sites et 1 village de la province du Lac.

Entre os dias 3 e 13 de Junho , as equipas da  DTM (Matriz de Monitoria de Deslocamentos) da Organização Internacional para as Migrações (OIM), em estreita coordenação com o Instituto Nacional de Gestão de Calamidade de Moçambique (INGC), realizaram a primeira ronda (R1) das avaliações de base à nível das Localidades, que representam o nível administrativo mais baixo do País. Esta primeira ronda cobriu um total de 10 Distritos na da Província de Cabo Delgado. Para o efeito, as equipes da DTM entrevistaram os chefes de Localidade com vista a obter informações sobre as estimativas de população, sua distribuição geográfica, movimentos, reparação dos abrigos e acesso a serviços nas comunidades.

From 3 to 13 June, in close coordination with Mozambique’s National Institute for Disaster Management (INGC), IOM DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) teams conducted baseline assessments at locality level (localidade), which corresponds to the lowest administrative level in the country. The second round covered 10 districts in Cabo Delgado provinces. The DTM teams interviewed locality chiefs capturing population estimates and geographic distribution, population movements, shelter repairs and access to services in host communities.
