In response to the need for accurate and up-to-date information on displacement and human mobility in north-east Nigeria, IOM activated its Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) to support the humanitarian community with multi-layered data on the status, locations, vulnerabilities and needs of the affected populations. This information management product determines the status, locations, and needs of people affected by the ongoing conflict in north-east Nigeria.

 

During the period 19 April to 9 June 2021, the DTM has identified 2,191,193 IDPs (445,852 households) across Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, and Yobe States.
