In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government of Sudan (GoS) declared a nationwide health emergency and introduced mitigation measures in March 2020 to reduce the transmission of the virus. These measures include restrictions on travel due to closure of airports, points of entry (POE) along land borders and maritime boundaries, as well as domestic movement restrictions.

IOM manages the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in Nigeria and other countries around the world, to support humanitarian communities with data on displacement and mobility. This information management product determines the status, locations, and needs of people affected by the ongoing conflict in Northeast Nigeria.   As of 15 August 2020, the DTM has identified 2,118,550 IDPs (436,058 households) across Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe States. This represents an increase of 2 per cent (30,426 persons) over DTM Round 32, while the number of returns from neighbouring regions into situations of secondary displacement increased by less than 1 per cent (9,115 persons) from previous DTM round.

This report, which presents results from Round 33 of Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) assessments carried out by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) aims to improve understanding of the scope of internal displacements, returns and the needs of affected populations in conflict-affected states of north east Nigeria. The report covers the period 27 July to 15 August 2020 and reflects trends from the six most affected north-eastern states of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe.   In Round 33, 2,118,550 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) or 436,058 households were recorded as displaced, an increase of 30,426 individuals (2%) against the last assessment (Round 32) conducted in June 2020 when 2,088,124 were recorded as displaced. The number is also marginally higher than the figure reported in Round 31 which was conducted in February 2020 when 2,046,604 IDPs were identified. Prior to Round 31, the December 2019 assessment had recorded 2,039,092 IDPs.   Also, a total of 1,714,682 returnees were recorded in the DTM Round 33 assessment, an increment of 9,115 (1%) as against the 1,705,567 returnees that were identified in the last round of assessment that was conducted in June 2020. In Round 31 which was conducted in February 2020, 1,673,862 returnees were identified.   The number of displaced persons in the region is now well above the number recorded in Round 25 (2,026,602), which was conducted before escalating violence was observed in October 2018 even though accessibility remains lower. During Round 25, a higher number of Local Government Areas (LGAs or districts) and wards (807) were accessible. Given that the numbers of IDPs is increasing  slowly although accessibility remains low, it can be inferred that the actual displacement figures could be much higher.   To gain insights into the profiles of IDPs, interviews were conducted with 4 per cent of the identified IDP population — 85,047 displaced persons — during this round of assessments. The information collated and analysed in this report includes the reasons for displacement, places of origin and shelter types, mobility patterns, and unfulfilled needs of the displaced populations.   Additionally, site assessments were conducted in 2,388 locations which included sites where IDPs were residing in camps and camp-like settings as well as sites where displaced persons were living with host communities (up from 2,387 in the last round of assessment that was conducted in June 2020). The purpose was to better understand the gaps in services provided and the needs of the affected population. These locations included 300 (up from 293 in the last round of assessment) camps and camp-like settings hosting IDPs and 2,088 sites where the displaced persons were residing with host communities (slight decrement since last round of assessment when 2,094 such host community sites were assessed). Site assessments included an analysis of sector-wide needs, including shelter and non- food items, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), food and nutrition, health, education, livelihood, security, communication and protection.   Lastly, this report includes analyses of the increasing number of returnees, profiles of their initial displacement, shelter conditions, health, education, livelihood, market, assistance and WASH facilities available to the returnees. Notably, as the north-eastern State of Borno is the most affected by conflict-related displacements, this report specifically emphasizes the related analysis and data.

The DTM Emergency Event Tracking (EET) is deployed to track sudden displacement and population movements, and provide more frequent updates on the scale of displacement and quantify the affected population when needed. As a subcomponent of the new Mobility Tracking methodology in Sudan (Round One), and activated on a needs basis, EET utilises a broad network of key informants to capture best estimates of the affected population presence per location - a useful tool for humanitarian response planning and design.

The DTM has identified 131,336 internally displaced persons (IDPs) in 28,333 households, 83% of the displacement were due to natural disasters and 17% other reasons in the month of August 2020 covering all 18 provinces of Burundi.

La DTM a identifié 131 336 personnes déplacées internes (PDI) réparties dans 28 333 ménages déplacés, 83% des déplacements étaient dus à des catastrophes naturelles et 17% à d'autres raisons. 

L’objectif de l’outil de suivi des urgences est de rassembler des informations sur les mouvements significatifs et soudains de population. Ce rapport présente des informations sur les mouvements ayant eu lieu entre le  17 et le 19 Septembre 2020 dans le département du Logone et Chari de la région de l’Extrême-Nord. Entre le 17 et le 19 Septembre 2020,38 ménages de 267 PDI ont été contraints de fuir la localité de Bouaram(arrondissement de Blangoua, département du Logone et Chari), suite a une attaque de groupes armés non étatiques le 17 septembre 2020, de vingt une heure a minuit. Les populations affectées se sont majoritairement déplacées par pirogue vers le site de Blangoua Bâche (arrondissement de Blangoua). Elles prévoient rester temporairement dans la localité d’arrivée, le temps que la situation revienne à la normale. Aucune assistance n’a été fournie pour l instant.

يستعرض هذا التقرير نتائج الجولة الثانية والثلاثين المستخلصة من عمل وحدة تتبع التنقل الخاصة بمصفوفة تتبع النزوح في ليبيا والتي تغطّي الفترة الممتدة بين شهري يوليو وأغسطس من سنة 2020. وخلال فترة الدراسة، لوحظ انخفاض كبير في حالات الاشتباك المسلّح في ليبيا (يرجى الاطلاع على الصفحة السادسة من هذا التقرير).  وعقب توقّف الأعمال العدائية في جنوب طرابلس، بادرت الأسر النازحة بالعودة تدريجيا إلى مساكنها، على الرغم من غياب الخدمات الأساسية ومن وجود مخلّفات الحرب وذخائر غير متفجرة في المناطق المتنازع عليها سابقا والتي كانت سبب امتناع العديد من النازحين عن العودة إلى مناطق أصلهم. هذا وقد ارتفع عدد العائدين خلال هذه الجولة من 456.728 إلى 493.716 عائدا تم إحصاء أغلبيتهم في أبو سليم والعزيزية والسبيعة وسواني بن آدم و مناطق أخرى من عين زارة.
