 Ce rapport présente les principaux résultats des évaluations DTM qui ont été conduites dans les provinces du Kasaï, du Kasaï Central, du Kasaï Oriental, de la Lomami, du Sankuru, du Sud Kivu et du Tanganyika du 22 février au 12 Mai 2018 dans 116 zones de santé.

DTM Regional office, has supported the establishment of a network of 65 Flow Monitoring points along the three main migration corridors in the Region (see map above) in Djibouti (11), Ethiopia (5), Somalia (7), South Sudan (19), Uganda (15) and Burundi (8). Flow monitoring provides quantitative estimates of the flow of individuals through specific locations and informs about the profiles, travel history, intentions and needs of people on the move. In the region, this system also supports preparedness and response in public health emergencies by providing mapping and information on population movements in Uganda and in South Sudan, specifically in relation to the recent Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. 

The flow monitoring surveys are part of the IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) data collection activities in West and Central Africa, East and Horn of Africa, Libya and Europe, that are conducted within the framework of IOM’s research on populations on the move through Africa, the Mediterranean and Western Balkans. Data was collected between January 2017 and June 2018 in the above mentioned countries. Migrants on the move are interviewed by IOM field teams; the surveys collects information on migrants’ profiles, including age, sex, areas of origin, levels of education and employment status before migration, key transit points on their route, cost of the journey, reasons for moving and intentions. The present brief highlights some of the main characteristics of North African migrants (from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt and Sudan interviewed mainly in Libya and Europe over 2017 and the first semester of 2018. 

Ce document donne des informations sur les urgences au Burundi pour la semaine du 24 février au 2 mars 2019. La DTM a identifié 438 personnes affectées dont 129 personnes déplacées par des pluies torrentielles et par du vent violent. 

Following the displacement of 200 families from Murzuq to Al Qatrun between 22 and 24 February, the security situation gradually stabilized in Murzuq and surrounding areas over the past week. Reportedly, over the past 48 hours, 120 previously displaced families have so far returned to their homes in Murzuq. Reported priority needs of the returnee families include food items (like cooking fuel, baby milk), non-food items (like diapers and hygiene kits) and medical supplies. Furthermore, at least 60 families within Murzuq’s host population were reported to be affected due to damage to their houses. Reportedly, most migrants relying on daily labour work in Murzuq were unable to work for nearly a week.

Within the period of 18 - 24 February 2019, a total of 1,606 movements were recorded, including 1,505 arrivals and 101 departures. Arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Chibok, Damboa, Gwoza, Jere, Konduga, Maiduguri, Mobbar and Ngala Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Borno state and locations in Demsa, Fufore, Maiha and Numan LGAs of Adamawa state. Departures were recorded at Askira/Uba LGA of Borno state and Demsa, Fufore, Maiha and Numan LGAs of Adamawa state. ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: ongoing conflict (53%), voluntary relocation (27%), poor living conditions (8%), fear of attacks (8%), improved security (3%), and military operations (1%).

Through Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) installed on major routes connecting to Herat City, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has been monitoring inflows of drought-affected IDPs, since 9 September 2018. DTM identifies and registers only newly arriving IDPs, provides IDP Cards to registered families, and shares the information with World Food Programme and humanitarian partners to facilitate onward registration of newlyarriving IDPs into humanitarian assistance programmes. DTM also tracks the outflow of IDPs from Herat City returning to their places of origin or into secondary displacement. Inflows of newly-arrived IDPs peaked at over 1,100 families per week in the week of 28 September and 5 October. There was a sharp, 74% decrease from 5 to 19 October. There was a modest spike of 456 families recorded in the last 5 days of October. Due to funding limitations, DTM discontinued activities from 1 to 15 November, after which inflows remained relatively low at an average 300 families per week. However, after 4 January,  inflows have steadily decreased to the present inflow of only 47 newly arrived IDP families in the last week.
