Reports
In November 2018, the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Unit, the Returns Working Group (RWG), and Social Inquiry, with input and support from the Ministry of Migration and Displacement (MoMD) within the Federal Government of Iraq, published an in-depth analysis on “Reasons to Remain: Categorizing Protracted Displacement in Iraq”. The aim of this report was to build a categorization framework for protracted displacement as the basis for future study, monitoring and policy development in relation to the resolution of internal displacement across all populations affected by the conflict in Iraq. While the report defined categories of obstacles to return and provided estimates of the proportion of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) falling in each of the categories, it did not identify where the IDPs facing these obstacles can be found, and most importantly, where they are from. To address this, IOM DTM completed an analysis of the remaining out-of-camp IDP population in areas of displacement along multiple indicators, which allowed for the identification of their reasons and obstacles for non-return as well as their displacement situation. DTM also completed a similar and complementary analysis on IDPs’ main areas of origin, presented in the document “Protracted Displacement Study: An In-Depth Analysis of the Main Districts of Origin”. Although some of the analysis touches upon the situation of in-camp IDPs, two factors led to the decision to focus most of the analysis on out-of-camp IDPs. Firstly, the secondary data review showed that the knowledge base on in-camp IDPs was significantly greater than that of out-of-camp IDPs. Moreover, our analysis showed that these two groups face quite different displacement situations, leading to the decision to analyze them separately and prioritize analysis of the situation of out-of-camp IDPs. As IDPs are dispersed across over 3,000 locations in more than 100 districts of displacement, the analysis focused on the districts containing the majority of the IDP caseload Using the latest available DTM dataset at the time of the analysis (Dec 2018), it was found that 83% of all out-of-camp IDPs can be found in the top 21 districts of displacement, and 90% in the top 32 districts across 14 governorates. While all 32 districts were analyzed to better understand protracted displacement, only the top 21 will presented here as the main districts of displacement in the format of a factsheet following a common structure to facilitate comparison. This reference note, containing an overall presentation of the analyzed indicators and key findings, aims to explain and complement the factsheets.
From the 23rd to the 27th of April 2019 IOM, in close coordination with the Government of Zimbabwe conducted baseline assessments in Nyanga, Mutasa, Makoni, Mutare Urban, Chiredzi Rural and Urban districts. 6,521 IDPs (824 households)* were reported across the 5 affected districts, of which 865 IDPs were cyclone affected IDPs.
L’Organisation internationale pour les migrations (OIM) a mis en place la Matrice de suivi des déplacements (Displacement Tracking Matrix) au Tchad en mai 2015 pour obtenir des informations sur les déplacements engendrés par la crise. La mise en place de la DTM permet d’informer les partenaires humanitaires et gouvernementaux sur le déplacement et la mobilité dans la province du Lac. Dans le cadre de cette réponse, des enquêtes ont été menées auprès des ménages de personnes déplacées internes (PDI), retournées et des communautés hôtes pour recueillir des informations sur les intentions de retour et les facteurs de réintégration durable des populations déplacées. Pour le premier round des enquêtes sur les intentions de retour, 3 093 ménages ont été interrogés dans 60 lieux de déplacement (villages et sites) du 27 février au 18 mars 2019. 96% des PDI ont indiqué ne pas avoir l'intention de rentrer chez eux. La peur est la raison pour laquelle 91% des PDI n'envisagent pas de rentrer chez eux. 96% des PDI et 93% des retournés vivent dans des abris en tôle ou en paille. 81% des retournés penses pouvoir réintégrer le lieu dans lequel ils vivent actuellement. 91% des ménages des communautés hôtes ont confiance en les personnes déplacées.
From 24 to 26 April 2019 IOM, in close coordination with the Government of Mozambique agency Instituto Nacional de Gestão de Calamidades, conducted multi-sectoral location assessments in 34 displacement sites in Beira, Buzi, Dondo, Nhamatanda, and Sussundenga districts. The information included in this report was collected from 2019-04-24 to 2019-04-26.

IOM’s biometric registration system is active since 2014, with over 700,000 beneficiaries active in its database to date. Since August 2018, IOM and the World Food Programme (WFP) are collaborating on the project "Enhancing targeted food distribution through biometric data management" seeking to contribute to increased food security throughout South Sudan. Under this collaboration, IOM is responsible for checking the eligibility of households receiving assistance through fingerprint authentication at selected distribution sites. Those beneficiaries whose households do not retrieve their food assistance in three consecutive distributions are assumed to no longer be present in the location and subsequently become deactivated. As a result, fluctuations in registered beneficiary numbers can be observed on an ongoing basis. Biometric registration, complemented through regular authentication, enhances beneficiary targeting, avoiding duplications through fingerprint scanning and ensuring that the assistance reaches the intended beneficiaries. Biometric maintenance work is supported by a variety of donors, including DFID, ECHO, SDC and USAID alongside funds received from WFP.

March was marked by a large influx into Wau PoC AA site and Masna collective centre following sustained violence in Jur River (Rocrocdong and Kuarjena). The newcomers accounted for nearly half of all interviews conducted at the gates of Wau PoC AA site where newcomers citing insecurity as reason for entry with a long-term intended stay at the sites. Arrivals from Sudan made up 17 per cent of entering individuals to included sites.
