DTM recorded a total of 2,539 individuals entering and 1,943 individuals exiting Wau’s Protection of Civilians Adjacent Area (PoC AA) site during the reporting period. Movement into and out of the site was very localised, as 67 per cent of entering individuals and 64 per cent of exiting individuals came from / left for Wau North and South Payams (Wau County).

With a larger population than Malakal and Wau PoC combined, Bentiu PoC site has witnessed the largest net population flow in and out of its gates during the nine-month reporting period. The in- and out-flows are comparable in scale to those of other PoC sites taking overall population sizes into account. During the reporting period, 31,366 individuals left the site and 7,661 people arrived at the site. Please note that whilst DTM targets interviews at travellers with more long-term intentions, departures do not necessarily signify permanent return or relocations to a third area as much of the movement is circular. The majority of individuals arrived from Unity State (74%) and Juba (8%), followed by Sudan (12.5%). Unity State entries were primarily comprised of arrivals from Rubkona (17% of all arrivals), Koch (15%) and Leer (14%).
Malakal PoC site stands out as having consistently witnessed a larger inflow of people than outflow. During the nine-month reporting period, 5,297 individuals (2,384 households) were recorded entering and 543 individuals exiting (202 households). During the reporting period, the most common reasons for arrival at Malakal PoC site were family reunification (40%) and food shortages (38%). Reasons for movement varied by pre-departure location. Over half of all individuals arriving from Fashoda cited food as reason to enter the PoC site (53%), a reason that was especially often cited in February 2018 as echoed by findings in the DTM Malakal Combined Assessment (February 2018).

The Displacement Tracking Matrix in Lanao del Norte and Lanao del Sur was reactivated one year after the armed conflict erupted in Marawi City between the Philippine government and extremist groups. This armed struggle displaced 353,921 persons from Marawi City and neighboringmunicipalities. As of 23 July 2018, 73% of the 77,170 families have returned to 72 barangays in Marawi City. This leaves more than 20,000 families open to the risks of long-term evacuation in sites that are not designed to shelter internally displaced persons for more than 12 months.
To prioritize interventions, the Return Index measures the quality of returns by evaluating conditions in areas of high return over time as well as the locations that have limited returns. Monthly data collection of indicators across two scales is conducted in each of the over 1,400 locations of return in Iraq. The ranking system, based on a combined score of two scales, will allow partners to prioritize vulnerable areas or mitigate risks of push/pull factors for a more specific set of interventions on the part of humanitarian, recovery, and stabilization actors.
