Reports

The complex political and socioeconomic panorama of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has generated one of the largest migratory movements in recent years; an estimated 5.4 million people have left that country, and of these, more than 4.6 million remain in Latin American and Caribbean countries. Colombia has not been foreign to this situation. According to the data presented by Migración Colombia as of October 2020, there are 1.7 million Venezuelan nationals present in Colombia, of these 12% are Children (NNA)2, who as actors in this migratory phenomenon pose a great challenge for the Government of Colombia (CG) at the national and local levels, which, in an attempt to guarantee the human rights and fundamental freedoms of this population, must implement and strengthen programs to a response oriented to the needs of migrant children and adolescents. In order to implement public policies, programs and successful projects specifically intended for refugee and migrant children and adolescents undergoing long stay or street situation and their families, it is necessary to determine their current location, needs, vulnerabilities, migratory flows and conditions. In this regard, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), in furtherance of its mission, implemented the Displacement Tracking Matrix focused on refugee and migrant children and adolescents undergoing long stay or street situation (hereinafter DTM NNA for its Spanish acronym), in six departments of the national territory (Atlántico, Cesar, La Guajira, Nariño, Norte de Santander and Valle del Cauca). For such purpose, support was provided by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the United Nations Development Fund (UNICEF), and the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare (ICBF) in the conceptual coordination and consolidation of social offer in the territories. This report is made up of six sections, with inputs to generate public policy recommendations that can be considered in the work plans of territorial and national entities, to strengthen the complementary actions between the Government of Colombia and International Cooperation.  

DTM teams activated Emergency Event Tracking (EET) to monitor the displacement of individuals affected by inter-communal conflict between Masalit and Arab tribes. Clashes erupted on 16 January 2021 in the Krinding area of Ag Geneina town, West Darfur. The fourth update estimates a total number of 108,870 individuals (21,786 households) displaced across Ag Geneina and its surrounding villages. Since the third EET, there has been an 11 per cent increase in the captured number of individuals (and households) displaced, including an additional caseload now gathering in open areas of Shukry village. DTM teams visited Ag Geneina town since the previous update and report at least 8,981 individuals (14% of the caseload located in Ag Geneina town) to have additional vulnerabilities in need of assistance and support. Reports further indicate that 393 individuals have died and 473 sustained injuries, whilst at least 8,382 internally displaced persons (IDPs) have lost personal belongings and livestock. Based on a ranking scale, the three main priority needs in Ag Geneina town are identified as food, non-food items and WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene).

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 30 January 2021, IOM Yemen DTM estimates that 593 households (HH) (3,558 Individuals) have experienced displacement at least once.                                                                                                                   Since the beginning of 2021, DTM also identified other 6 previously displaced households who left the displaced location and moved to either their place of origin or some other displaced location.                                                                                                                   Between 24 January 2021 and 30 January 2021, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 234 households (1,404 individuals) displaced at least once. The highest number of displacements were seen in:                                                                                                                   Al Dhale'e  (76 HH) – Ad Dhale'e (39 HH), Al Hussein (19 HH), Qa'atabah (18 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Dhale'e and Ibb. Al Hudaydah (66 HH) – Ad Durayhimi (57 HH), Hays (9 HH) districts. All displacements in the governorate were internal. Taizz (43 HH) – Al Qahirah (13 HH), Al Mudhaffar (6 HH), Al Ma'afer (6 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Taizz and Al Hudaydah.   Most displacements resulted from the increased conflict in the following governorates and districts. Al Hudaydah (93 HH) – Al Hawak (48 HH), Ad Durayhimi (16 HH), Al Garrahi (13 HH) districts. Al Dhale'e (53 HH) – Qa'atabah (34 HH), Al Husha (17 HH), Ad Dhale'e (2 HH) districts. Taizz (39 HH) – At Ta'iziyah (11 HH), Maqbanah (7 HH), Jabal Habashy (3 HH) districts.

At the onset of the 2020 dry season, the consequences of flooding in various areas of South Sudan continue to be deeply felt. Many people are still displaced after moving from lowland to highland areas. Mangala in Central Equatoria State has been a locus of flood-related displacement and other population movements since early August 2020 when the first group of IDPs arrived on site. According to available data from the World Food Programme (WFP), the site hosts more 24,500 IDPs who were registered for humanitarian assistance together with some 6,000 host community members in need of support. DTM continued with the implementation of the Rapid Flow Monitoring tool which supplies partners with the number of new arrivals and basic profile of populations arriving and leaving the site, including areas of departure and intended destinations. Between 1 November and 31 December 2020, DTM surveyed 692 groups representing 4,714 individuals, 4,681 of which were new arrivals. This is a 10 per cent decrease of arrivals at the port compared to the period between September and October 2020 (5,219).

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. Ce rapport détaille les données de l’outil d’alerte pendant les mois de novembre et décembre 2020. 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.

Entre el 1 y el 18 de diciembre 2020, la región de América Central y el Caribe se vio afectada por dos importantes desastres naturales: el huracán Eta, que alcanzó la segunda categoría más alta en la escala de huracanes (Categoría 4), seguido del huracán Iota, que tuvo un impacto de Categoría 5, la cuál es la clasificación más alta. Ambos causaron fuertes impactos en la región, especialmente en 10 países, entre ellos Belice, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica y otras islas del Caribe, México, Nicaragua y Panamá, dejando más de 7 millones de personas afectadas a la fecha del 2 de diciembre 2020. Entre esos países, Honduras, Guatemala y Nicaragua son los más afectados. Este informe de DTM OIM ofrece un panorama regional de los países afectados por esta emergencia ambiental, derivado de los datos recopilados y publicados por los gobiernos de la región, la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) y otras entidades intergubernamentales, organizaciones no gubernamentales (ONG), informes de los medios de comunicación y ejercicios de DTM a nivel de país.

Ce Dashboard présente les principaux résultats de suivi de mouvement de la population dans la province du Nord-Kivu à l’issue du 5ème cycle d’évaluation conduit par la DTM.
