The DTM team conducted a market assessment in Abrouc from 28 March – 4 April. The objective of the market assessment was to understand the available food commodities and shelter materials for the Abrouc area and their prices in order to assess the affordability of the commodities and materials for the internally displaced persons (IDPs) staying in Abrouc. Assessment ndings indicate that shelter materials are unaffordable for majority of the IDPs as total cost can adds up to 3,500 SSP to 5,000 SSP on average to make one shelter.
The DTM team conducted a follow up survey in Abrouc from 28 March to 4 April 2017 to provide more in depth understanding of the intentions of internally displaced persons (IDPs) as well as their sectorial needs. The survey tool included inputs from partners. A market assessment was also conducted to understand the prices and assess the affordability of key shelter materials, non-food items and food items for the IDPs in the Abrouc area. 85% IDPs report they intend to stay in Abrouc. 46% IDPs indicate they will go to Sudan if there are signs of insecurity, mainly fighting in Kodok, Kalangang or Dethouk. 57% IDPs indicate they don’t know how long they plan to stay in Abrouc.

The DTM Baseline Mobility Assessment was conducted from 29 January to 16 March 2017 in 3 provinces: Nangarhar, Kunar and Laghman, covering a total of 42 districts and 1,368 settlements with existing target populations. As of 16 March 2017, there are 246,317 IDPs and 183,425 returnees, who were formerly displaced, in the three provinces. 281,527 individuals left the three provinces either across a district or provincial boundary (fled IDPs) and 65,771 individuals left Afghanistan (out migrants).The total number of Returnees from abroad is 544,364 which in relation to the total base population of the three provinces (2,456,500) indicates that 1 person in 5 is a returnee. Migrants that left Afghanistan for another country, however, only amount to 65,771 (3% of the base population). These displacements occurred between 2012 and March 2017.Nangarhar, which borders Pakistan, is the province most affected by displacement. The majority of returnees are from Pakistan and most enter through Torkham (in Nangarhar), the busiest border post between the two countries. Concurrently, the presence and activities of Taliban insurgents and ISIS fighters challenging the control of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANFS) regularly triggers displacement.
In March 2017 DTM Libya identified 256,615 IDPs across 656 muhallas and 100 baladiyas. The main driver of displacement was for 96% of surveyed migrants the threat of general conflict and armed group presence. The DTM exercise also identified 227,866 returnees, of which 83% returned in 2016 and 17% in 2017. Most (93%) returned to their previous home.
As of 31 March 2017, DTM has identified 1,832,743 IDPs (326,010 households) across Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, and Yobe states. This represents a decrease from 1,899,830 individuals in Round XIV, reflecting the continuing trend of IDPs returning to their Local Government Areas, particularly in Borno State. Assessments were carried out from 15 February to 31 March 2017. Other key findings include: largest IDP populations are in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe. 96.3% of the IDPs were displaced because of the Boko Haram conflict. 1,151,427 returnees from within and outside Nigeria in comparison to 1,039,267 in DTM XIV. Food needs are increasing; 69% of IDPs at sites surveyed cite food as their greatest unmet need, up from 68% in DTM XIV. Non-food items, like blankets, are second in demand at 16%.
The Governorate Profiles complement Part I (Thematic Overview) 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.
The report covers the period of 15 February to 31 March 2017 and includes six most-affected states of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe. As of 31 March 2017, the estimated number of IDPs in these states is 1,832,743 (326,010 households), representing a decrease of 77,223 (4%) from the figure of 1,899,830 in the last round (DTM Round XIV). The key reasons for population movement continue to be to return to their place of origin and to search for livelihood opportunities. People were also displaced due to continuing military action and in some instances, due to communal clashes. Borno continued to host the majority of IDPs (1,428,947), followed by Adamawa (146,605) and Yobe (116,619).
