The Integrated Location Assessment (ILA) collects detailed information on IDP and returnee families. The Integrated Location Assessment II was conducted from 11 March to end of May 2017 and covered 3,583 locations hosting at least one or more IDP and/or returnee families, reaching 279,019 returnee families and 354,976 IDP families (corresponding to 1,674,114 returnee and 2,129,856 IDP individuals). Returnees often face multiple challenges when they return home and remain a vulnerable population in Iraq and in urgent need of assistance. In nearly half of the surveyed locations – with peaks of 96% and 84% in Baghdad and Kirkuk respectively – most returnees are reported as unemployed; 32% returned to properties that have suffered significant to complete damage (with peaks of 57% and 53% in Diyala and Kirkuk respectively); and 60% and 43% are concerned about the poor quality of health services and of water. In addition, most of these returnees were displaced for more than three years, meaning that they return carrying the stress and financial weakening that result from long-term displacement. Although to a certain extent, the general security situation has stabilized since mid-2014, personal security continues to be a concern in daily life and episodes of domestic violence and petty crimes – and to a lesser extent sexual assaults and kidnapping – are still reported. 

The Governorate Profiles complement Part I (Thematic Overview) by providing individual profiles of the eighteen Iraqi governorates, thus reviewing all key themes identified at governorate and district level. Profiles include numbers and demographic data on IDPs and returnees, return intentions, infrastructure and residential damage, living conditions, social conditions and protection concerns.

IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix has been monitoring displacement movements related to this crisis since October 15, when Iraqi Security Forces began moving into disputed areas previously held by Kurdish forces. As of 11 December 2017, a total of 160,860 individuals are currently displaced from the disputed areas. To date, there are 190,806 returnees from this crisis.

DTM Burundi identified 187,626 IDPs comprising 42,416 households. 81% of IDPs were women and youth under 18 years old, and 29% of IDPs were children under 5 years old. 7,384 IDPs (4%) were living in camps and displacement sites, 102,089 IDPs (54%) were living with host families, 33,259 IDPs (18%) were living in emtpy houses, and 44,894 IDPs (24%) were living in rented housing. 69% of IDPs were displaced as a result of natural disasters and 31% of IDPs were displaced as a result of sociopolitical issues.

In October and November 2017 DTM Libya interviewed 1,366 key informants across 100 Baladiyas and 657 Muhallas. A total of 192,762 IDPs were identified. The threat of violence from conflict and the presence of armed groups was the main driver of displacement for 93% of the displaced population. 89% of IDPs live in self-paid rental homes. In addition, a total of 316,971 returnees were identified. The shelter for 88% of returnees was their previous home.

The data in this report focuses on the alternative dwelling spaces and other provisions geared towards improving the living condition of IDPs, the IDPs who have returned and the issues relevant to the return program, and population demographics. The IDPs, whether from the evacuation centers or home-based, have continued to return to their homes since Marawi City’s liberation. As much as the government and other agencies wish to accommodate all returnees, the program is first designed to ensure the safety of the residents by clearing the city from any possible threat one barangay at a time. However, despite the increased mobility and accessibility to their respective residences, some IDPs found no home to return to, due to damaged houses or due to land ownership problems, a concern that is continually being addressed by the government and other implementing partners to better facilitate Marawi’s rehabilitation.

IOM conducted flow monitoring at various cross border points, transit areas, PoCs, and IDP Collective sites across South Sudan. Flow monitoring captures the movement dynamics of the displaced population in the country. 1,488 individuals were recorded transiting through the Flow Monitoring point in Juba Gumbo Park, while 523 individuals were recorded transiting through the Flow Monitoring point in Juba Customs Park and 628 were recorded transiting in and out of the PoC in Bentiu.

The DTM Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) is deployed to track and provide up-to-date information on sudden displacement and other population movements in: Askira/Uba, Bama, Chibok, Damboa, Dikwa, Gubio, Gwoza, Jere, Kaga, Kala/Balge, Konduga, Kukawa, Maiduguri M.C., Mafa, Monguno, Hong, Ngala, Nganzai, Madagali, Michika, Mubi-North, and Mubi-South.

The DTM has been monitoring displacement movements from West Anbar areas, particularly the districts of Ana, Al-Ka’im and Ru’ua, since January 2017. Displacement has been taking place since then as a consequence of hostilities in the area, and mainly in anticipation of the larger military operations announced to be launched several times throughout 2017. The DTM has consequently set up an integrated system composed of a flow monitoring system at Kilo 18 screening site and the regular DTM Emergency Tracking, which tracks IDPs at their location of displacement. 62,910 IDPs transited through Kilo 18 screening site since January 2017; 68,454 IDPs displaced from West Anbar since January 2017 and identified at their location of displacement, of these: 46,356 IDPs currently registered in camps; 22,098 IDPs identified in out-of-camp locations, including: 21,366 IDPs in private settings and 732 IDPs in critical shelter.
