Reports

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 4 December 2017, a total of 176,680 individuals are currently displaced from the disputed areas. To date, there are 180,678 returnees from this crisis.

Le suivi des flux de population est une activité qui permet de quantifier et qualifier les flux migratoires, les profils des migrants, les tendances et les routes migratoires sur un point d'entrée, de transit ou de sortie donné. Depuis février 2016, l'OIM effectue un suivi des flux migratoires sur deux points dans la région d'Agadez au Niger. Alors que les routes empruntées par les migrants sont de plus en plus fragmentées en raison des contrôles de sécurité accrus dans la région d'Agadez, l'OIM a mis en place des points de collecte d'informations sur les mouvements migratoires dans la région d'Agadez afin de collecter des informations plus riches et détaillées sur la migration et la fragmentation des routes migratoires. En septembre 2017, DTM a identifié 3 592 entrées et 4 863 sorties de migrants. La grande majorité (95%) des personnes identifiées étaient des hommes. Les migrants sont principalement originaires du Niger, du Mali, de Guinée, du Cameroon et du Nigéria.

As of October 2017 DTM estimates 168,000 IDPs in Gedo district, living in 310 IDP sites, the majority of IDPs considered as integrated within the host community. Baardheere, Doolow and Belet Xaawo have received the highest numbers, with increased movement into riverine villages due to availability of water, pasture and fodder. Districts in the region remain a new home to many persons affected by prolonged drought and road restrictions by extremist groups around Garbahaarey and Baardheere districts, which are key areas for pastoral communities who have since migrated to more urban locations in search of food, water and other necessity of livelihoods.

The country of Antigua and Barbuda was affected by the passage of Hurricane Irma. Particularly, on the island of Barbuda where an estimated 95% of buildings were damaged and 1,700 Barbudans affected. For this first Return Intentions Survey in Antigua and Barbuda, two active centers were assessed by seven DTM enumerators who interviewed 193 individuals. 31% of interviewed households have indicated that the lack of access to water is the main problem encountered.

The following document contains the findings from 30 collective centers assessed during the third round of DTM assessments which were conducted from 20 - 27 November 2017. The assessed collective centers house 459 individuals (120 households), of which 61% present vulnerabilities. 44% of IDPs reside in schools. 93% of IDPs indicated the destruction/severe damage of their house as the main reason for remaining in shelters and key informants in all centers have indicated that shelter materials such as wood, metal sheeting, and tools are needed to repair damaged homes.

As of February 2016, IOM Niger has been carrying out flow monitoring of migrants at two points in Niger in the region of Agadez. This flow monitoring does not replace border monitoring nor does it claim to observe all migratory flows in the Agadez region. Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) are active in Séguédine and Arlit, two towns in the Agadez region. FMPs are placed at known migrant points along the Niger migratory route. The data collected provides a snapshot of migrant movements through the region.

IOM Nigeria's DTM unit conducted Biometric Registration in Ngala Local Government Area (LGA) of Borno State covering Arabic Village Camp, International School Camp and neighbouring host community sites. A total of 26,796 households were registered , with an overall average family size of 3.3 individuals. 39 per cent of the families are comprised of 1-2 members, 38 per cent of the families are comprised of 3-4 members and 24 per cent of the families include 5 - 9 members. 

The displaced population is estimated at 335,016 individuals (241,987 IDPs,29,337 out of camp refugees and 63,692 returnees). 743 villages were evaluated including 14 new villages. 60 uninhabited villages were identified. 92% of the target population is displaced due to armed conflict in the Region and 8% is displaced due to flooding and other climatic factors. 47% of those displaced live with host families, 16% rent houses, 23% live in spontaneous sites, and less than one per cent live in the open air without shelter. 

Ce rapport donne un aperçu de la situation dans la Région de l’Extrême-Nord du Cameroun, où l’insécurité liée aux violences de groupes extrémistes armés, et dans une moindre mesure les phénomènes climatiques ont donné lieu à d’importants mouvements de population. Les informations présentées dans ce rapport ont été recueillies auprès de personnes déplacées entre le 2 et le 13 octobre, avec l’accord et le soutien des autorités locales. La population déplacée est estimée à un total de 335 016 individus : 241 987 personnes déplacées internes, 29 337 réfugiés hors camp et 63 692 retournés. 743 villages ont été recensés, dont 92% des populations sont déplacées en raison du conflit armé qui a lieu dans la région. 8% des déplacements sont causés par des inondations et autres facteurs climatiques.

Round 11 identified 335,016 individuals (55,735 households) in 14 host localities, of which 67% are minors. The average household size is 7.6 and most individuals (47%) live in host families.

The information from the 2nd round of DTM is expected to be useful for the government and other humanitarian actors, particularly to understand the recent condition of displacement in Rathnapura District.
