During the second half of 2020, the International Organization for Migration’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (IOM DTM) and the World Food Programme’s Vulnerability Analysis and Mapping (WFP VAM) units undertook a joint household-level assessment of selected urban areas and camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in South Sudan. The assessment aims to: Quantify the prevalence of vulnerabilities and humanitarian needs across sectors, with a focus on food security and economic vulnerability as well as selected indicators on shelter and non-food items, water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH), protection (including child protection and gender-based violence) and mental health and psycho-social support (MHPSS). Generate a better understanding of urban displacement and migration, including return and relocation after displacement in South Sudan or abroad. Evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions on human mobility, livelihoods and access to humanitarian services, and gather key information on household awareness and adoption of preventive measures. The assessment contributed to the extended Food Security and Nutrition Monitoring System (FSNMS+) initiative to pilot a household-level multi-sector needs assessment for South Sudan. In addition to WFP and IOM, the FSNMS+ initiative saw the participation of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), FEWSNET, REACH and several humanitarian clusters. By expanding FSNMS coverage to key urban areas and IDP camps, the assessment addresses a longstanding information gap for the humanitarian response. This report presents sectoral findings for Juba’s urban area. Separate profiles will be released for Juba IDP camps I and III, Wau’s urban area and Naivasha IDP camp, the urban area of Bentiu / Rubkona and Bentiu United Nations Mission In South Sudan (UNMISS) Protections of Civilians (PoC) site, and Malakal’s urban area and PoC site.   Note: The report was re-uploaded on 11 May 2021 to correct an error in the education section.

The lingering conflict in Nigeria's North East Zone has been the major cause of widespread population displacement. Over 2 million persons have been forced to leave their areas of residence in search of safety and security in neighbouring Wards and LGAs.   On 01 and 02 March 2021, a Non-State Armed Group (NSAG) carried out an attack in Dikwa LGA, leading to a substantial wave of population displacement. More than two weeks after the attack, former residents continue to seek refuge in other parts of Borno State. Following the attack, multiple flow monitoring assessments were conducted by DTM field staff with the purpose of informing the humanitarian community and government partners, and enabling targeted response. Flash reports utilise direct observation and a broad network of key informants to gather representative data and collect information on the number, profile and immediate needs of the affected population.   An additional 2,296 individuals arrived in the period 16 - 25 March 2021 resulting in a total of 3,876 arrivals since the attacks occurred. They arrived at Dikwa Motor Park (Dusuman Ward in Jere LGA) from various camps and communities in Dikwa LGA. As presented on the map below, their intended destinations were locations in the LGAs Jere and Maiduguri M.C.in Borno State.

Nigeria's North Central and North West Zones are afflicted with a mulltdimensional crisis that is rooted in long-standing tensions between ethnic and religious groups and involves attacks by criminal groups and banditry/hirabah (such as kidnapping and grand larceny along major highways). The crisis has accelerated during the past years because of the intensification of attacks and has resulted in widespread displacement across the region.   Between 22 and 28 March, armed clashes between herdsmen and farmers, bandits and local communities have led to a fresh wave of population displacement. Following these events, a rapid assessment was conducted by DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) field staff with the purpose of informing the humanitarian community and government partners, and enable targeted response. Flash reports utilise direct observation and a broad network of key informants to gather representative data and collect information on the number, profile and immediate needs of affected populations.

The crisis currently affecting the Lake Chad Basin states results from a complex combination of factors, including conflict with Non-State Armed Groups, extreme poverty, underdevelopment and a changing climate, which together have triggered significant displacement of populations. As of 30 March 2021, Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria were hosting an estimated 5,194,988 affected individuals made up of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), Refugees (both in- and out-of-camp), Returnees (Former IDPs and Returnees from abroad) and Third Country Nationals (TCNs). 75 per cent of the affected population (representing 3,893,150 individuals) were located in Nigeria, while 11 per cent resided in Cameroon (561,665 individuals), 9 per cent in Chad (474,028 individuals) and 5 per cent in Niger (266,145 individuals).

The Central Sahel area, and in particular the Liptako Gourma region, which borders Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, is affected by a complex crisis involving growing competition over dwindling resources; climatic variability; demographic pressure; high levels of poverty; disaffection and a lack of livelihood opportunities; communal tensions; the absence of state institutions and basic services; and violence related to organized crime and Non-State Armed Groups. The crisis has led to the death of an estimated 5,000 people in 2020 (as of 31 August) and triggered significant displacement of populations in the four affected countries. As of 30 March 2021, 1,754,223 individuals have been displaced, including 1,577,466 Internally Displaced Persons (90% of the displaced population) and 176,757 Refugees (10% of the displaced population). Sixty-five per cent of the displaced population (1,141,776 individuals) were located in Burkina Faso, while 20 per cent resided in Mali (347,105 individuals), 11 per cent in Niger (198,612 individuals) and 4 per cent in Mauritania (66,723 individuals).

La crise dans le Bassin du lac Tchad est le résultat d’une combinaison complexe d’une multitude de facteurs, y compris un conflit armé impliquant des groups armés non étatiques, des niveaux extrêmes de pauvreté, un sous-développement persistent, et des bouleversements climatiques, qui ont conduit à des déplacements de populations importants. Au 25 février 2021, le Cameroun, le Tchad, le Nigeria et le Niger accueillaient 5 194 988 individus affectés par la crise, dont des Personnes déplacées internes (PDI), des réfugiés et des retournés (anciennes PDI et retournés de l’étranger). 75 pour cent d’entre eux (soit 3 893 150 personnes) se trouvaient au Nigéria, 11 pour cent au Cameroun (561 665 personnes), 9 pour cent au Tchad (474 028 personnes) et 5 pour cent au Niger (266 145 personnes).

La région du Sahel central, et plus particulièrement la zone du Liptako Gourma, qui enjambe le Burkina Faso, le Mali et le Niger, est témoin d’une crise complexe qui comprend comme enjeux une compétition grandissante pour le contrôle de ressources; des bouleversements climatiques; une croissance démographique galopante; des niveaux élevés de pauvreté; l’absence d’opportunités économiques et un sentiment de désillusions quant au futur; des tensions communautaires; l’absence de présence étatique et le manque de services sociaux de base; et des violences provoquées par des réseaux de crime organisé et des groups armés non étatiques. La crise a engendré, en 2020, la mort de 5 000 personnes 2020 (au 31 août) et conduit à des déplacements de populations significatifs dans les quatre pays touches par la crise. Au 30 mars 2021, 1 754 223 individus étaient déplacés par la crise, y compris 1 577 466 Personnes déplacées internes (90% de la population affectée) et 176 757 réfugiés (10%). Soixante-cinq pour cent de la population déplacée (1 141 776 personnes) se trouvaient au Burkina Faso, 20 pour cent au Mali (347 105), 11 pour cent au Niger (198
