IOM DTM in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the state Ministry of Health have been conducting monitoring of individuals moving into Nigeria's conflict-affected northeastern states of Adamawa and Borno under pillar four (Points of entry) of COVID 19 preparedness and response planning guidelines. During the period 10 - 16 October 2020, 168 movements were observed at Six Points of Entries in Adamawa and Borno states. Of the total movements recorded, 64 were incoming from Extreme Nord, 2 from Nord, 2 from Centre in Cameroon and 4 from N’Djamena in Chad Republic. A range of data was collected during the assessment to better inform on migrants’ nationalities, gender, reasons for moving, mode of transportation and timeline of movement as shown in Figures 1 to 4 below.
Ce suivi des urgences a été realisé au Burundi pendant la semaine du 4 au 17 octobre 2020. La DTM a identifié 874 personnes affectées pour pluies torrentielles et 546 personnes déplacées.
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 21 October 2020, Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria were hosting an estimated 5,034,347 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 3,833,232 individuals) were located in Nigeria, while 11 per cent resided in Cameroon (559,871 individuals), 8 per cent in Chad (377,898 individuals) and 5 per cent in Niger (263,569 individuals).
From 25 July to 5 August 2020, IOM surveyed 164 Myanmar migrants in the Mueang Ranong district of Ranong province in order to better understand their situation and vulnerabilities following the outbreak of COVID-19 in Thailand. The survey focuses on six thematic areas: 1) Migrant profiles; 2) Drivers of migration; 3) Employment; 4) Impacts of COVID-19; 5) COVID-19 related vulnerabilities; and 6) Return intentions.

The DTM Ethiopia Site Assessment Durable Solutions Index Report measures the progress of IDP populations towards overcoming displacement-related vulnerabilities by examining specific criteria outlined within the IASC Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons. The composite index is made up of 24 indicators from DTM Ethiopia's Site Assessment and treated as sub-criteria in measuring the 5 core criteria of the IASC Framework. In this report, the index is applied to 20 sites to measure progress towards overcoming displacement-related vulnerabilities.
The DTM Ethiopia Village Assessment Survey Durable Solutions Index Report measures the progress of returning IDP populations towards overcoming displacement-related vulnerabilities by examining specific criteria outlined within the IASC Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons. The composite index is made up of 57 indicators from DTM Ethiopia's Village Assessment Survey and treated as sub-criteria in measuring 6 criteria of the IASC Framework. In this report, the index is applied to 10 villages to measure progress towards overcoming displacement-related vulnerabilities.
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. In the first eights months of 2020, conflict and natural disasters have resulted in new patterns of displacement, particularly in Marib, Al Hudaydah, Al Dhale'e, Taizz, and Al Jawf governorates. From 01 January 2020- 17 October 2020, IOM Yemen DTM estimates that 25,634 Households (153,804 Individuals) have experienced displacement, at least once. Since the beginning of 2020, DTM also identified other 1,238 previously displaced households who left the displaced location and moved to either their place of origin or some other displaced location. Between the 11 October 2020 and 17 October 2020, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 340 Households (2,040 individuals) displaced at least once, the highest number of displacements were seen in: Marib (150 HH) – Al Abdiyah (38 HH), Sirwah (32 HH), Marib City (28 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Marib and Al Jawf. Al Hudaydah (96 HH) – Al Khawkhah (67 HH), Bayt Al Faqiah (20 HH), Hays (9 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Taiz and Al Hudaydah. Taizz (61 HH) – Jabal Habashy (14 HH), Al Mukha (13 HH), Salh (9 HH) districts. All displacements in the governorate were internal. Most displacement resulted from increased conflict in the following governorates and districts. Al Hudaydah (112 HH) – Ad Durayhimi (59 HH), Hays (17 HH), Al Hawak (17 HH) districts. Marib (99 HH) – Mahliyah (31 HH), Rahabah (29 HH), Medghal (22 HH) districts. Taizz (35 HH) – Maqbanah (11 HH), Sabir Al Mawadim (6 HH), Mawza (4 HH) districts.
L’outil de suivi des urgences (ETT, Emergency Tracking Tool) de la Matrice de suivi des déplacements (DTM, Displacement Tracking Matrix) a pour but de recueillir des informations sur les mouvements importants et soudains de populations. Suite à des inondations survenues depuis la fin du mois de juillet 2020 à N’Djamena, plus de 5 000 ménages ont été contraints de quitter leurs résidences. Ces personnes se sont réfugiées soit ailleurs au sein de leur arrondissement, soit dans des arrondissements voisins. Pour accueillir les personnes sans abri, les autorités et la communauté humanitaire ont identifié le site Tradex, situé dans le 9ème arrondissement, où ont été installés 98 ménages (562 individus). Les données présentées dans ce rapport ont été collectées à travers un enregistrement de ménages qui a été réalisé le 12 octobre 2020 par les équipes de l’OIM et les autorités de la mairie de la commune du 9ème arrondissement, afin de faciliter la distribution d’assistance humanitaire. Le présent rapport cherche à fournir des informations sur les profils démographiques de ces personnes déplacées, ainsi qu’un aperçu de leurs besoins.
This situation report reflects the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on IDPs from People affected by humanitarian crises, particularly those displaced and living in communal settings, are often faced with challenges including vulnerabilities distinct from those of the general population. These vulnerabilities are further heightened by the disparate health and socio-economic impacts of COVID-19. As recently reported by IDMC, global figures of internally displaced persons (IDPs) reached an all-time high at the end of 2019. Conflict and disasters have triggered 33.4 million new internal displacements across 145 countries and territories in 2019. In particular, the number of new disaster related IDPs have increased to 24.9 million in 2019 (compared to 17.2 million in 2018). This is the highest figure recorded since 2012 and three times the number of new displacements caused by conflict and violence. The movement restrictions and measures being imposed by countries, territories and areas as a response to the pandemic are directly impacting the daily lives and circumstances of IDPs and host communities. Livelihoods are being interrupted and access to healthcare, where it is available, remains limited. Many communities hosting internally displaced populations lack adequate investment into health, water and sanitation facilities, in addition to the issues of overcrowding, poor shelter, scarce resources and limited access to reliable information. The impact felt by these communities not only increases humanitarian need but also exasperates the existing and already complex barriers for IDPs to seek solutions.
