Reports

La Matrice de Suivi des Déplacements (Displacement Tracking Matrix – DTM, en anglais) est un outil mis en place par l’Organisation Internationale pour les Migrations (OIM), qui permet de faire le suivi des déplacements et la mobilité des populations. Elle collecte des informations à différents niveaux, les traite et les diffuse afin de garantir aux acteurs humanitaires, aux gouvernements et autres acteurs intéressés, une meilleure compréhension des mouvements et de l’évolution des besoins des populations déplacées : les facteurs d’influence, les moyens et durées de déplacement, les intentions futures des populations déplacées, leurs conditions de vie et encore bien d’autres éléments sont récoltés auprès de ces populations déplacées. Ce rapport présente les résultats de la dernière enquête sur les intentions de retour menée auprès des ménages déplacés (Personnes Déplacées Internes (PDI) et réfugiés hors camp) en août 2020 dans la région de l’Extrême-Nord. Il permet ainsi de mieux comprendre le processus de décision des ménages déplacés, les raisons qui les poussent à partir ou les empêchent de revenir et les conditions nécessaires à un retour durable. La collecte des données a été effectuée entre le 17 au 24 août 2020 par 77 énumérateurs formés et déployés dans chacune des localités évaluées, sous la responsabilité directe de l’équipe DTM. Dans le cadre de cette enquête, 3 055 chefs de ménages PDI et réfugiés hors camp (représentant un total de 24 147 individus) ont répondus au questionnaire dans 712 localités réparties au sein des 6 départements de la région de l’Extrême Nord.  

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.

Ce rapport donne un aperçu de la situation de déplacement dans la province du Lac, où les déplacements de populations sont dus à l’insécurité liée aux violences perpétrées par des groupes extrémistes armés. Les informations présentées ont été collectées dans 204 lieux de déplacement, auprès d’informateurs clés en proche collaboration avec les autorités locales et nationales, du 16 au 30 avril 2020.  Lors de ce onzième round, un total de 298 803 individus déplacés vivant dans 67 961 ménages ont été identifiés, soit une hausse de 10 pour cent par rapport au round précédent. Ce rapport présente notamment le profil démographique, la répartition géographique et l’évolution comparative des déplacements depuis les derniers rounds, ainsi que les périodes, motifs et moyens de déplacement des populations identifiées. Par ailleurs, des informations sur les besoins prioritaires de ces personnes, ainsi que leur accès aux services et à l’assistance humanitaire, sont également communiquées.  De plus, lors de ce round, des analyses spécifiques à la pandémie de COVID-19 sont présentées, sur la connaissance globale du virus et des gestes barrières recommandés, ainsi que sur le niveau d’inquiétude et les mesures préventives prises dans les localités évaluées.

The second round of the COVID-19 Situation Analysis is based on the assessment of knowledge, practice and impact of the pandemic on internally displaced persons (IDPs) in conflict-affected communities of north-eastern Nigeria. Conducted by the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) unit of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the report covers the period 27 July to 15 August 2020 and reflects trends from north-eastern states of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe.   The first assessment was conducted in May 2020 two months after the index case was reported in Nigeria. In this Round 2, 85,047 respondents – or 4 per cent of all identified IDPs as per DTM Round 33 -- were interviewed for a range of COVID-19 related indicators. Key informant interviews and focus group discussions were the primary methods used for the assessment and the findings were corroborated with physical on-ground observations.   The information collated and analyzed in this report includes COVID-19 awareness among IDPs, communication medium used to receive information, level of awareness (in camps and in host communities, respectively), exposure to communication on risks associated with COVID-19, mitigation measures taken (in camps and among host communities, respectively), health center’s preparedness in managing confirmed cases of COVID-19, effect of the pandemic on day-to-day activities (in camps and in host communities, respectively) and access to infection and prevention control facilities.   COVID-19 threatens to deepen the humanitarian crisis in north-eastern Nigeria which has been besieged with escalation of violence between Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs) and the Government for nearly a decade, resulting in mass displacement and deprivation. To better understand the scope of displacement and assess the needs of affected populations, IOM has been implementing the DTM programme since September 2014, in collaboration with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and relevant State Emergency Management Agencies (SEMAs).   It is hoped that the findings of this assessment will help achieve the main objective of supporting the Government and humanitarian partners in providing better response to needs of displaced communities.

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 seven months of 2020, conflict and natural disasters have resulted in new patterns of displacement, particularly in Marib, Al Hudaydah, Al Dhale'e, and Taizz governorates. From 01 January 2020 - 29 Aug 2020, IOM Yemen DTM estimates that 21,703 Households or 130,218 Individuals have experienced displacement, at least once.                                                                                                 Between the 23rd Aug 2020 and 29th of Aug 2020, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 1,100 Households or 6,600 individuals displaced at least once, the highest number of displacements were seen in:       Al Jawf (830 HH) – Khabb wa ash Sha'af (830 HH) district. All displacements in the governorate were internal. Marib (153 HH) – Marib City (117 HH), Marib (36 HH) district. All displacements in the governorate were internal. Al Dhale'e (38 HH) – Ad Dhale'e (32 HH), Qa'atabah (5 HH), Juban (1 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal.                                                                   Most displacement resulted from increased conflict in the following Governorates and districts. Al Jawf (832 HH) – Khabb wa ash Sha'af (680 HH),Al Hazm (152 HH) districts. Marib (153 HH) – Medghal (127 HH), Marib (26 HH) districts. Al Hudaydah (57 HH) – Ad Durayhimi (35 HH),Al Garrahi (12 HH), Hays (8 HH) districts.  

Le suivi des urgences a pour but de recueillir des informations sur les mouvements importants et soudains de populations. Les informations sont collectées à travers des entretiens avec des informateurs clés ou des observations directes. Ce tableau de bord présente des informations sur des mouvements de personnes survenus entre le 22 et le 26 août 2020 dans quatre sites et un village de la province du Lac.  - Les 22 et 25 août 2020, en raison de l’insécurité croissante dans la province du Lac, la crainte d’attaques armées a conduit 516 ménages (2 366 individus) à quitter leurs villages situés dans les sous-préfectures de Ngouboua (département de Kaya) et Kangalam (département de Mamdi) pour se réfugier dans les sous-préfectures de Ngouboua, Baga Sola (département de Kaya) et Kangalam (département de Mamdi).  - Le 26 août 2020, suite à des inondations survenues le 20 août 2020 dans la sous-préfecture de Ngouboua (département de Kaya), 342 ménages (2 052 individus) se sont réfugiés dans le site de Dar Al Amne, situé dans la sous-préfecture de Baga Sola (au sein du même département).  - Le 26 août 2020, l’intensification d’un conflit intercommunautaire entre les communautés résidant dans les sites de Yakirom 1 et 2 (sous-préfecture de Liwa, département de Fouli) a conduit 257 ménages (1 413 individus) à se réfugier dans le village de Kaiga-Diamerom, situé dans la même sous-préfecture. 

The objective of the Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) is to collect information on large and sudden population movements. Information is collected through key informant interviews or direct observation. This dashboard provides information on movements which took place from 22 to 26 August 2020 in four sites and one village of Lac Province. - On 22 and 25 August 2020, due to growing insecurity in Lac Province, fear of armed attacks led 516 households (2,366 individuals) to flee their villages located in the sous-préfectures of Ngouboua (Kaya département) and Kangalam (Mamdi département). They took refuge in the sous-préfectures of Ngouboua, Baga Sola (Kaya département), and Kangalam (Mamdi département).  - On 26 August 2020, following floods which took place on 20 August 2020 in the sous-préfecture of Ngouboua (Kaya département), 342 households (2,052 individuals) took refuge in the Dar Al Amne site, located in the sous-préfecture of Baga Sola (in the same département).  - On 26 August 2020, an escalating intercommunal conflict between the communities residing in the sites of Yakirom 1 and 2 (Liwa sous-préfecture, Fouli département) led 257 households (1,413 individuals) to take refuge in the village of Kaiga-Diamerom, located in the same sous-préfecture. 

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 22 - 28 August 2020, 47 movements were observed at Nine Points of Entries in Adamawa and Borno states. Of the total movements recorded, 10 were incoming from N’djamena in Chad and 1 from Extreme Nord in Cameroon.   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.

The crisis in Nigeria’s North Central and North West zones, which involves long-standing tensions between ethnic and linguistic groups; attacks by criminal groups; and banditry/hirabah (such as kidnapping and grand larceny along major highways) led to fresh wave of population displacement.   Latest attacks affected 896 individuals, including 26 injuries and 11 fatalities, in Dan Musa, Musawa LGAs of Katsina State, Birnin Gwari, Chikun LGAs of Kaduna State between the 24 - 30 August, 2020. While 936 individuals were displaced due to flooding in Nassarawa and Zamfara States. The attacks caused people to flee to neighboring localities.   A rapid assessment was conducted by field staff to assess the impact on people and immediate needs.

With the onset of the rainy season in Nigeria’s conflict-affected northeastern State of Borno, varying degrees of damages are expected to infrastructures (self-made and constructed) in camps and camp-like settings. This is so because the rains are more often than not accompanied by very high winds and have been known to cause serious damage to properties.   On 30 August 2020, IOM’s DTM program carried out an assessment to ascertain the level of damage sustained in camps and camp-like settings due to heavy windstorm and rainfall on the 29th of August 2020. Overall, 6 camps were affected in Dikwa, Jere, Maiduguri and Konduga LGAs. The worst-hit of the camps assessed was the Muna Da’alti 2A camp in Jere LGA where a heavy rainfall left 72 makeshift shelters damaged and an estimated 360 individuals without shelter due to flooding.   Other affected camps are: Yajiwa Camp, Shuwari 5 Camp in Maiduguri Metropolitan Council, Klagaru Camp in Dikwa LGA, Muna Da’alti 2 Camp in Jere LGA and 400 Housing Estate (Gubio Camp) in Konduga LGA.   There is a major need of sand bags, shelter, shelter repair kits, construction and sanitation materials as a preparedness measure in all camps, provision of basic NFI as well as reconstruction of damaged toilets and shower areas. No casualty was reported.
