Wau PoC AA population, April 2019: 16,284 individuals (49% Female) Wau Town features one PoC site and five collective centres in which IOM DTM conducts monthly headcounts to monitor changing population dynamics and displacement trends. In April 2019, the monthly count was conducted in Wau PoC AA site, as well as Cathedral, Nazareth, St. Joseph, Lokoloko and Masna collective centres where a total of 27,559 individuals were accounted for. Throughout 2018 until February 2019, DTM observed a steady decline of Wau PoC AA site’s population. However, in March and April 2019, the population increased by 19 per cent - a rise of 2,654 individuals since February 2019 due to the continued displacement caused by clashes between pastoralists and farmers in Kuarjena and Rocrocdong, Jur River that broke out in early March 2019.

From 2 to 13 May, 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 DTM teams interviewed locality chiefs capturing population estimates and geographic distribution, population movements, shelter repairs and access to services in host communities.

Tropical Cyclone Idai made landfall in Zimbabwe on 15 March 2019.

This report presents the main findings extrapolated from the analysis of data relating to the characteristics and experiences of Nigerian migrants before, in, on their way to, or upon return from Europe. The data was collected within the framework of IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM). Specifically, the present analysis focused on six thematic areas: (1) socio-demographic profiles of migrants; (2) migration drivers and decision-making; (3) migrant challenges and related vulnerabilities in origin, transit, and destination countries; (4) the role of intermediaries; (5) migrants’ perceptions of Europe; as well as (6) migrants’ choices and options. These thematic areas were investigated at different stages of the migration journey of Nigerian migrants and in different country contexts: in Nigeria before migration, in transit countries (Niger, Libya, Greece), in a destination country (the Netherlands), and in Nigeria upon return from Europe.
