About

Displacement.iom.int is an IOM online platform designed to enhance access to Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) information products on internal displacement, including a visualization of the scale of displacement monitored by IOM. A second complementary platform by DTM, flow.iom.int, intends to visualise population flows. Each platform is designed to facilitate a better understanding of displacement and mobility trends within and between countries or regions.  

Mobility tracking aims to quantify the presence of population categories within defined locations, with a frequency that captures mobility dynamics. Its approach is highly customizable: it can be light-touch or in-depth depending on the phase and requirements of the response, and it often increases in depth and detail over successive rounds. The online platform visualises mobility tracking data collected through baseline area assessments.

Baseline area assessments provide information on the presence of internally displaced populations in a defined administrative area, their reason and date of displacement and their shelter situation. Once a baseline or a list of locations hosting displaced populations has been identified, further location and/or site assessments are conducted to gather multi-layer and multi-themed data on the displaced groups. The objective of the location/site assessments is to collect in-depth data on the living conditions and needs of populations. This may include populations in camp and camp-like settings, or populations residing within host communities and/or areas of return of the observed population of concern.

As of 31 of December 2016, the total number of internally IDPs in the UN Mission in South Sudan’s Protection of Civilians (PoC) site in Bentiu was 119,853 individuals. The second round December 2016 population count was held in Bentiu PoC from the 29 to 31 December 2016.

In response to the need for accurate and up-to-date information on displacement and human mobility resulting from the Boko Haram crisis in the Lake Chad basin, IOM activated its Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in Nigeria in July 2014, Chad in January 2015, and Cameroon in November 2015.

DTM identified 22,588 IDP families comprised of 135,528 individuals. The majority of the identified individuals (105,030) originated from Mosul.

The Wau collective sites were established in June 2016, following violent clashes in and around Wau town. The site population stands at 12,800 individuals (2,555 households).

Currently 22,039 families remain displaced (132,234 individuals). 2,626 families (15,756 individual IDPs) have returned. Between the updates of 29 December 2016 and 5 January, an increase of 2,657 new IDP families has been recorded.

As a result of lower than average rainfall there was an influx of IDPs into two states, Luuq and Doolow. An estimated 800 households were displaced to Doolow and 1,500 households were displaced to Luuq. District officials estimate over 90,000 persons affected as of 9 January 2017.

DTM identified 191,908 internally displaced persons (33,469 households), 23,430 unregistered refugees (4,066 households) and 35,665 returnees (6,366 households). 92% of the displaced population was displaced by the insurgency and 8% by flooding and other natural disasters.

DTM identified 191,908 internally displaced persons (33,469 households), 23,430 unregistered refugees (4,066 households) and 35,665 returnees (6,366 households). 92% of the displaced population was displaced by the insurgency and 8% by flooding and other natural disasters. 

During the reporting period IOM enhanced the recovery of health services through the provision of sustainable water supply at health facilities in Enga, Jiwaka and Simbu Provinces. IOM also built a gravity-fed water supply system providing clean water to 1,200 households in Morobe Province.

Currently 19,382 families remain displaced (116,292 individuals). 2,326 families (13,956 individual IDPs) have returned. Between the updates of 22 and 29 December 2016, an increase of 1,278 new IDP families has been recorded.

The primary goal of the exercise was to register the returnee population and assess their needs. A total of 1,991 households composed of 11,130 individuals were reregistered in twelve different locations out of the 2,173 reported families.

The current population of the site is 29,021 comprising 5,599 households. Current priority needs include: space to decongest the site, the completion of security earthworks around the perimeter and the registration of new arrivals.

The total number of returnees from January 2016 to December 2016 was 28,530 individuals. DTM recorded 1,407 returnees in the month of December.

DTM identified 20,641 IDP families comprised of 123,846 individuals. The majority of the identified individuals (95,268) originated from Mosul.

Since February 2016, IOM Niger has been carrying out flow monitoring of migrants at two points in Niger in the region of Agadez. 1,663 incoming individuals were observed in FMPs and 12,923 outgoing individuals were observed in FMPs during the reporting period.

This report presents a cumulative quantitative analysis of baseline data and migrant-focused DTM surveys carried out between the 12th of July and the 15th of December, 2016.

More than 5 years after the devastating 12 January 2010 earthquake, an estimated 12,001 households, or 46,691 individuals are still residing in 31 IDP sites in the earthquake affected communes.

In Cashi, DTM recorded 1,063 IDPs (135 households) in October 2016. This number did not change in the follollowing month. The numbers did not change in the case of Gitaza either during the same months, where DTM recorded 1,269 IPDs (182 households).

DTM recorded 141,221 IDPs. Of these 58% were displaced as a result of natural disasters and 42% were displaced as a result of the socio-political situation. 

DTM data was collected across 63 IDP camps between the 13-17 December. DTM recorded 4,030 individuals comprising 1,033 families across these camps, 49% of these were living in improvised structures.

The DTM assessed 65 active sites hosting 20 or more households between 28 November and 10 December 2016 in 11 districts. 15,595 people were living in 65 sites. Since round 8 (25th July to 2 August 2016), 4 new sites had become active and 5 previously sites had closed.

DTM recorded 116,292 IDPs comprising 19,382 families. Of these, 89,430 reported that their district of origin was Mosul. The highest number of IDPs was recorded in Ninewa governorate, 114,774 individuals (99% of the total). 100,506 individuals were recorded living in camps and emergency sites.
