Reports

20,752 displaced individuals comprising 7,621 households in 61 displacement sites were identified in Tigray region. These figures represent an increase of 1,317 in the total individuals (4%), households (4.8%) and sites (3%) since round 7. Only 7 of the 61 sites opened in 2017. Conflict was the primary cause of displacement for an estimated 93% of the displaced population.

IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix has been monitoring displacement movements since 15 October 2017, when Iraqi security forces began moving into disputed areas that had previously been held by Kurdish forces. These areas included parts of Ninewa, Diyala, Salah al-Din and Erbil governorates. In the early weeks of the crisis the situation was very fluid, with many displacement patterns lasting only a matter of days. DTM has been monitoring return movements from this crisis since late October 2017. To date, there are 219,942 Returnees from the disputed areas crisis and 140,064 current IDPs.

772,242 displaced individuals comprising 124,982 households in 369 displacement sites were identified in Oromia region, which represents an increase of 46% in individuals and 53% in households. 79% of sites opened in 2017 and 27% of sites reported no access to food.

This document displays the site outlines for the following displacement sites: Jamtoli, Chakmarkul, Unchiprang, Shamlapur, Teknaf, and Kutupalong/Balukhali Expansion Site – Kutupalong RC.

IOM began collecting data on IDP movements in and out of the two main IDP sites in Dolow: Kabasa (population: 5,500 HHs) and Qansaxlay (population: 2,900 HHs). In the period between 22 December 2017 and 1 February 2018, A total of 1,150 entries compared to just 18 exits were recorded. The majority of the new arrivals to Kabasa and Qansaxlay cited lack of food as their reason for displacement (73%). Others cited insecurity (13%) and rejoining family (13%). Most of the new arrivals were coming across the border from Ethiopia (72%), with the remainder coming from a scattering of nearby districts: Dolow (7%), Luuq (7%), Belet Xaawo (3%), Baardheere (3%), Diinsoor (3%), and others. 57% of the new arrivals went to Qansaxlay IDP site, while 43% went to Kabasa IDP site. This is noteworthy since the Kabasa site has been closed to new arrivals since October because of lack of space for new plots. Most of the Kabasa new arrivals are joining family members in existing plots. Only 6 households (18 individuals) left the IDP sites in Dolow over the course of 6 weeks. Half left Kabasa and half left Qansaxlay. Likewise, half left due to lack of food, and half left to rejoin family elsewhere. Three of the families were headed to Luuq, while the others were headed for Baidoa, Sakow, and across the border to Ethiopia.

FR: L’OIM Madagascar met en œuvre son programme de Matrice de suivi des déplacements (DTM – Displacement Tracking Matrix ou DTM en anglais) afin de mieux comprendre les déplacements de population engendrés par la sécheresse et fournir des informations essentielles aux acteurs gouvernementaux et humanitaires sur le sujet.Suite à une première évaluation effectuée dans 10 communes de la région d’Androy en Juillet 2017, la troisième évaluation (objet du présent rapport) a concerné les communes de : Ambazoa, Ambondro, Erada (Ambovombe) – Marolinta, Behabobo, Tranoroa (Beloha) – Betanty, Antaritarika (Tsihombe) – Bekitro, Beteza (Bekily). De 2009 à 2017, les trois communes d’où est parti la majorité de personnes déplacées sont Tsihombe (3 720), Ambondro (2 809) et Anjapaly (1 800). EN: IOM Madagascar is implementing its Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) program to better understand drought-induced population displacements and to provide critical information on climate change to government and humanitarian actors. After an initial evaluation carried out in 10 municipalities of the region of Androy in July 2017, the latest evaluation focused on the following 10 communes: Ambazoa, Ambondro, Erada (Ambovombe) - Marolinta, Behabobo, Tranoroa (Beloha) - Betanty, Antaritarika (Tsihombe) - Bekitro, Beteza (Bekily). From 2009 to 2017, the three communes from which most of the displaced people left are Tsihombe (3,720 individuals), Ambondro (2,809) and Anjapaly (1,800). (The report is available in French only)

The DTM data collection was conducted in collaboration with the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) between November 3rd and December 8th 2017. The majority of the recorded population were displaced in 2017, with 553 sites reportedly opened that year. In terms of causes of displacement, conflict was reported as the primary driver (1,078,429 IDPs), followed by climate induced factors (528,658 IDPs). Conflict has consistently been the primary cause of displacement over time.The regions most affected by conflict-induced displacement are Oromia and Somali, however other regions including Tigray, Gambella and Amhara host IDPs from previous conflicts. While conflict-induced displacement was also recorded in Amhara and Gambella regions, very little of this displacement was from conflict in 2017. The vast majority of sites does not have gender segregated latrines.

As of February 2016, IOM Niger has been carrying out flow monitoring of migrants at two points in Niger in the region of Agadez. Flow monitoring points are active in Séguédine and Arlit. The data collected provides a snapshot of migrant movements through the region. in 2017, 69,637 individuals were observed in outgoing flows (compared to 333,891 in 2016) and 99,455 in incoming flows (compared to 111,230 in 2016). ​95% of the persons observed at the flow monitoring points for the month of December 2017 were men. The main observed nationalities in 2017 were: Niger, Mali, Guinea, Cameroon and Nigeria.

Depuis février 2016, l'OIM Niger effectue un suivi des flux migratoires sure deux points dans la région d'Agadez au Niger. Les points de suivi des flux migratoires actuellement actifs se trouvent à Séguédine et Arlit, deux villes de la région d'Agadez. 95% des personnes observées aux points de suivi des flux de population pendant le mois de décembre 2017 sont des hommes. En 2017, 69 637 individus ont été observés dans les flux sortants et 99 455 dans les flux entrants. Les principales nationalités observées sont: le Niger, le Mali, la Guinée, le Cameroun et le Nigéria.

The data presented  show the changing trends between 2016 and 2017. Many more migrants were observed passing through the towns of Ségédine and Arlit in 2016 than in 2017. This is explained by more controls on migratory movements in Niger since October 2016 by the Government of Niger. Following this, the movements of migrants taking roads to avoid checkpoints in order to make it to Algeria or Libya. While observed outgoing flows decreased significantly between 2016 and 2017, incoming flows remained similar. In addition, for 2017, incoming flows exceed observed outflows. This is partly due to the aforementioned trend of migrants taking alternate roads, making these flows difficult to quantify.

Les données présentées montrent les tendances migratoires entre 2016 et 2017. Beaucoup plus de migrant sétaient observés passant par les villes de Séguédine et Arlit en 2016 qu’en 2017. Ceci s’explique par la croissance des contrôles des mouvements migratoires dans le Nord du Niger depuis Octobre 2016 par le Gouvernement nigérien. Suite à cela, les migrants empruntent des pistes qui évitent les postes de contrôle sur la route de l'Algérie ou de la Libye. Alors que les flux sortants observés ont diminué considérablement entre 2016 et 2017, les flux entrants sont comparables d'une année à l'autre. Deplus , en 2017, les flux entrants dépassent les flux sortants observés . Cela s’explique en partie par les routes sus-mentionnées qui évitent les points d’observation.

The displaced population in Cameroon's Far North Region is estimated at 342,416 individuals (241,030 IDPs, 31,656 out of camp refugees and 69,730 returnees). 747 villages were evaluated including 4 new villages. 69 uninhabited villages were identified. 91% of the target population is displaced due to armed conflict in the region and 9% is displaced due to flooding and other climatic factors. 51% of the displaced population is male and 49% is female. 65% are under 18 years old, while 3% are 60 years old or older. 45% of those displaced live with host families, 15% live in rented houses, 22% live in spontaneous sites, 14% returned to their original dwelling, and one per cent live in the open air without shelter.
