The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has been implementing the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in Chad since May 2015 to collect information about displacement caused by the conflict currently affecting the Lac Province. The information collected is intended to provide both humanitarian and government partners with a better understanding of the intentions and living conditions of displaced populations in the Lac Province. To this end, DTM conducted household-level surveys to learn more about their future intentions and the factors necessary for the sustainable reintegration of displaced populations. For the first round of Return Intention Surveys, 3,076 households were surveyed in 60 displacement locations (villages and sites) from 27 February to 18 March 2019. 96 per cent of IDPs do not intend to return to their area of origin. Fear is the reason for which 91 per cent of IDPs did not plan to return. 81 per cent of returnees believe they will be able to  reintegrate their current place of residence. 91 per cent of households from the host community have trust in displaced persons. 96 per cent of IDPs and 93 per cent of returnees live in shelters made out of straw or metal sheet . 

Ever since the beginning of the Central African crisis, Chadian nationals have been fleeing the Central African Republic to return to Chad, and in particular to the country's southern provinces (Moyen-Chari, Mandoul, Logone oriental and Logone occidental). IOM is implementing the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in the Logone oriental province to gain a better understanding of the number and needs of returnees present in that province. Data is collected from key informants in the sitaes and villages hosting returnees. This dashboard presents the findings of assessments carried out in March and April 2019 in 70 locations. A total of 31,994 returnees (7,051 households) were identified. Results show that half of returnees live in five displacement sites. The sites of Danamadja and Kobiteye, both located in the town of Goré, alone host 27 and 20 percent of returnees in the province.

Dès le début de la crise centrafricaine, des ressortissants Tchadiens ont quitté la République centrafricaine pour retourner au Tchad, notamment dans les provinces du Sud (Moyen-Chari, Mandoul, Logone oriental et Logone occidental). L'OIM a mis en place la Matrice de suivi des déplacements (DTM) dans la province du Logone Oriental afin de mesurer le nombre et les besoins des retournés Tchadiens dans cette province. Les données sont collectées auprès d'informateurs clés au niveau des villages et des sites accueillant des retournés. Ce tableau de bord présente les résultats d'évaluations menées entre mars et avril 2019 dans 70 localités. Celles-ci ont permis d'identifier 31 994 individus retournés (7 051 ménages). Les résultats indiquent que la moitié des retournés vivent dans cinq sites, notamment ceux de Danamadja et Kobiteye dans la ville de Goré, qui abritent à eux seuls respectivement 27 et 20 pour cent des retournés que la province accueille.

Within the period of 13 -19 May 2019, a total of 4,842 movements were recorded, including 3,439 arrivals and 1,403 departures.

Departures were recorded at Askira/Uba and Bama LGA of Borno state, Fufore, Girei, Gombi, Guyuk, Hong, Madagali, Mayo Belwa, Michika, Mubi North, Mubi South, Numan and Yola North LGAs of Adamawa state. ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: voluntary relocation (10%), involuntary relocation (1%) improved security (16%), fear of attack (17%), ongoing conflict (38%) military operation (2%) and poor living conditions (16%).
