Reports

DTM’s Rapid Displacement Tracking (RDT) tool collects and reports on numbers of households forced to flee on a daily basis, allowing for regular reporting of new displacements in terms of numbers, geography, and needs. From 01 January 2021 to 27 February 2021 , IOM Yemen DTM estimates that 2,730 households (HH) (16,380 Individuals) have experienced displacement at least once.                                                                                   Since the beginning of 2021, DTM also identified other 063 previously displaced households who left the displaced location and moved to either their place of origin or some other displaced location. Between 21 February 2021 and 27 February 2021, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 151 households (906 individuals) displaced at least once. The highest number of displacements were seen in: Marib (59 HH) – Al Jubah (28 HH), Marib City (13 HH), Sirwah (10 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Marib and Sana'a. Al Dhale'e  (33 HH) – Ad Dhale'e (20 HH), Qa'atabah (12 HH), Al Hussein (1 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Dhale'e and Ibb. Taizz (27 HH) – Salh (6 HH), Sabir Al Mawadim (6 HH), Al Mudhaffar (5 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Taizz and Marib. Most displacements resulted from increased conflict in the following governorates and districts. Marib (39 HH) – Sirwah (25 HH), Mahliyah (7 HH), Al Jubah (3 HH) districts. Al Hudaydah (34 HH) – Hays (15 HH), Zabid (6 HH), Ad Durayhimi (3 HH) districts. Al Dhale'e (23 HH) – Qa'atabah (17 HH), Al Azariq (2 HH), Al Husha (2 HH) districts.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), monitors the movements to and from Nigeria's Adamawa and Borno States, located in the North East Zone. Assessments are conducted at Points of Entry located along the border with Cameroon.   During the period 01 - 28 February 2021, 881 movements were observed at three Points of Entry in Borno State. Of the total movements recorded, 401 were incoming from the Far North Region in Cameroon, 4 from the North Region in Cameroon and 5 from N’djamena in Chad Republic. Additionally, 470 outgoing movements were recorded from Borno State to the Far North Region in Cameroon and 1 outgoing movement to the North Region in Cameroon.   A range of data is collected during the assessments to better inform on travellers’ nationalities, sex, reasons for moving, mode of transportation and timeline of movement as shown in figures 1 to 4 below.

IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) was first implemented in Nasarawa and Abuja in August 2015. After the crisis in North West and Central Nigeria escalated in early 2018, providing support to affected populations became paramount. As a result, IOM broadened the reach of DTM to the entire affected area, to assess the numbers and trends of displacement, and gain insight into the profiles, needs and vulnerabilities of displaced populations. The information collected seeks to inform the government of Nigeria — as well as the humanitarian community — with an improved understanding of population movement and displacement in the two zones. Likewise, it aims to better inform the humanitarian response and relief provision for the affected populations.

DTM teams activated Emergency Event Tracking (EET) to monitor the displacement of individuals affected by a fire outbreak in the Hai Al Jabal area of Al Fasher town, North Darfur, on 13 February 2021. The first update estimates a total number of 346 individuals (63 households) displaced in Hai Al Jabal and gathering in open areas in shelters constructed using local materials. All affected individuals are Sudanese nationals, and at least 58 individuals have additional vulnerabilities in need of assistance and support. Reports indicate one injury sustained, and at least 47 individuals having lost personal belongings and livestock. Based on a ranking scale, the three main priority needs are food, emergency shelter and non-food items. 

L'épidémie de COVID-19 signalée pour la première fois en République Populaire de Chine en décembre 2019 a été classifiée pandémie par l'Organisation Mondiale de la Santé (OMS) le 11 mars 2020. Presqu’un an après, à partir du 28 février, environ 113,820,000 cas d’infection au COVID-19 ont été confirmés dans 213 pays, régions ou territoires selon l'OMS et en République Dominicaine, 239,998 personnes ont été testées positives et 3,106 personnes sont décédées de la maladie. Le 20 mars 2020, les deux premiers cas ont été confirmés en Haïti et compte tenu de la faiblesse du système de santé, de la frontière poreuse avec la République Dominicaine, Haiti demeure vulnérable à une propagation rapide du virus. Présentement, 12,536 cases cas d’infection, 250 morts and 9,828 guérisons ont été confirmés en Haiti. OIM continue d’adapter sa matrice de suivi des déplacements (DTM en anglais) le long de la frontière entre Haïti et la République Dominicaine pour soutenir la réponse au COVID-19. L'initiative de surveillance des flux migratoires (Flow Monitoring) est mise en œuvre sur 20 points de passage frontaliers entre Haïti et la République Dominicaine: 16 points non officiels et 4 points officiels en collaboration avec le Groupe d’Appui aux Rapatriés et Réfugiés (GARR)

Assessments are conducted at Points of Entry located along the border with Cameroon.   During the period 20 - 26 February 2021, 248 movements were observed at three Points of Entry in Borno State. Of the total movements recorded, 126 were incoming from the Far North Region in Cameroon. Additionally, 122 outgoing movements were recorded from Borno State to the Far North Region in Cameroon.   A range of data is collected during the assessment to better inform on travellers’ nationalities, sex, reasons for moving, mode of transportation and timeline of movement as shown in figures 1 to 4 below.

Les conflits agro-pastoraux liés à la transhumance, pratique ancestrale au Cameroun et dans la sous-région, sont devenus une cause d’insécurité majeure à la frontière avec le Tchad et la République centrafricaine. L’outil de suivi des mouvements de transhumance (Transhumance Tracking Tool) mis en place depuis Août 2020 dans les régions de l’Est, de l’Adamaoua et du Nord, permet de comprendre les dynamiques liées à la transhumance transfrontalière avec le Tchad et la République Centrafricaine. Le TTT combine trois composantes, l’alerte, la cartographie et le comptage. Le système d’alerte a pour objectif de recenser les mouvements inattendus de bétail et conflits liés à l’utilisation des ressources naturelles et aux pratiques agro-pastorales dans la région, de comprendre les modes de résolution de conflits existants et d’informer les autorités compétentes, dans l’objectif de réduire les tensions dans les trois régions d’intervention. Ce système permet de recenser les alertes liés à un événement conflictuel (alerte événement) ou à un mouvement massif ou inattendu de bétail (alerte prévention) qui pourrait provoquer un conflit. Ce rapport détaille les données de l’outil d’alerte pendant le mois de janvier 2021.

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 25 February 2021, Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria were hosting an estimated 5,118,035 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). 76 per cent of the affected population (representing 3,880,984 individuals) were located in Nigeria, while 11 per cent resided in Cameroon (561,296 individuals), 8 per cent in Chad (409,610 individuals) and 5 per cent in Niger (266,145 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 5 118 035 individus affectés par la crise, dont des Personnes déplacées internes (PDI), des réfugiés et des retournés (anciennes PDI et retournés de l’étranger). 76 pour cent d’entre eux (soit 3 880 984 personnes) se trouvaient au Nigeria, 11 pour cent au Cameroun (561 296 personnes), 8 pour cent au Tchad (409 610 personnes) et 5 pour cent au Niger (266 145 personnes).

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 25 February 2021, 1,723,972 individuals have been displaced, including 1,548,137 Internally Displaced Persons (90% of the displaced population) and 175,835 Refugees (10% of the displaced population). Sixty-five per cent of the displaced population (1,117,278 individuals) were located in Burkina Faso, while 20 per cent resided in Mali (342,274 individuals), 11 per cent in Niger (198,473 individuals) and 4 per cent in Mauritania (65,947 individuals).

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 25 février 2021, 1 723 972 individus étaient déplacés par la crise, y compris 1 548 137 Personnes déplacées internes (90% de la population affectée) et 175 835 réfugiés (10%). Soixante-cinq pour cent de la population déplacée (1 117 278 personnes) se trouvaient au Burkina Faso, 20 pour cent au Mali (342 274), 11 pour cent au Niger (198 473) et 4 pour cent en Mauritanie (65 947).
