Reports
On 10 September 2020, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) conducted Emergency Event Tracking to capture information about localized conflict induced displacement in Tonj North County of Warrap State. DTM found that 23,186 individuals, (4,219 households) were displaced between 10 July and 10 September 2020 to neighbouring payams within Tonj North. The clashes affected Awul, Kirik, and Rual-Bet payams.Information gathered through key informant interviews indicate that IDPs found refuge among host communities of Aporlang, Awul Centre, Warrap Town, Kuany goi, Kirik Centre, Madhiath, Thor-Khon and Rual-Bet. All locations are located in Tonj North County. Urgent needs identified during the assessment include, food, shelter, non-food items, and health services.
The first half of 2020 was marked by an escalation in sub-national and localized violence throughout the country and Jonglei State and the Greater Pibor Administrative Area (GPAA) have been major hotspots for such violence. Since early 2020, there has been renewed displacement, attacks on humanitarian supplies and personnel and civilian abuses in central and southern parts of Jonglei, as well as lowland Pibor. Following the large-scale attack on Pieri in Uror County on 16 May 2020, groups of armed youth launched an assault on key areas around Pibor, which was met by a series of counter attacks throughout June. Violence continued into July and August, with tensions spilling over into neighbouring parts of the country. In June 2020, President Salva Kiir established a high-level committee to address conflict, but mistrust between groups remains high, due in part to the persistence of unaddressed grievances connected to the long history of violence in the area. Although attacking groups have largely retreated to their communities, the impacts of the conflict in the first half of the year continue to be deeply felt by local populations. According to PLAN International and the NNGO, CIDO a total of 33,668 Individuals (11,443 households) were registered in early August 2020 at the UNMISS Adjacent Area (AA) and several spontaneous displacement sites throughout Pibor Town. Nearly all households are reported to have returned to Lekuangole and Gumruk by the end of the same month. UNMISS Pibor AA housed 403 individuals according to a DTM headcount conducted on 7 August 2020. Access constraints rendered assessments beyond Pibor Town challenging, limiting available data to the town. The humanitarian response has been disrupted, further eroding people’s ability to meet their basic needs, which has been compounded by the destruction of civilian property and livelihoods and loss of livestock during recurrent fighting, as well as flooding. While heavy rain could temper the possibility of further violence, the potential for additional violent incidents in Jonglei State and the GPAA, still exists.
Conhecer e acompanhar a situação de migrantes e refugiados que permanecem fora dos abrigos reconhecidos pela Operação Acolhida em Roraima, operados por entidades públicas ou privadas, de forma a gerar evidências para a tomada de decisões e respostas coordenadas em apoio a essa população. Os dados são obtidos por meio de entrevistas e pesquisas realizadas diretamente nos espaços, com participação da comunidade e de lideranças locais, sempre na última semana do mês de referência. São complementados por contagens diurnas e noturnas realizadas pela OIM, com apoio da Força Tarefa Logística Humanitária.

From 25 August to 3 September 2020, in close coordination with Mozambique’s National Institute for Disaster Management (INGC), IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) teams conducted multi-sectoral location assessments (MSLA) in resettlement sites hosting internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the four provinces affected by Cyclone Idai (March 2019) and floods (between December 2019 and February 2020). The DTM teams interviewed key informants, capturing population estimates, mobility patterns, and multi-sectoral needs and vulnerabilities.
Site profiles for resettlement sites in the central region of Mozambique.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in collaboration with the Government of Mozambique’s National Disaster Management Agency (INGC) conducted an assessment in the resettlement sites from 25 August to 3 September 2020, with the sole purpose to inform government and humanitarian partners on preparedness levels and precautionary measures currently available in resettlement sites hosting populations displaced by Cyclone Idai. The information gathered is intended to help partners plan interventions. This information will further allow partners to identify recommended health and site preparation measures to prevent and contain an outbreak in the resettlement sites in the central region.In the past month, among the 73 resettlement sites assessed, three sites (Bandua 2019, Mdhala and Muconja all in Sofala province) reported the arrival of 19 Mozambican migrant workers returning from South Africa. All sites reported a noticeable change in people’s behaviours and habits to better prevent COVID-19.
La DTM a identifié 299 personnes réparties dans 55 ménages, affectées par des pluies torrentielles et des vents violents dans les provinces de Cankuzo et Rumonge.

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.
