Overview

IOM DTM Sudan presents its seventh Monthly Displacement Overview. This publication provides an account of Sudan’s displacement context since 15 April 2023 – outlining population mobility and displacement, as well the present and evolving needs of IDPs across Sudan. It provides further contextual analysis for all 18 states for the period between 22 February and 21 March 2024. 

Rationale

Recognizing the need for more detailed insights into the IDP situation, including the priority needs, access to services, movement intentions, and demographic breakdowns of the affected population, DTM Sudan has undertaken a comprehensive review of our data collection tool. In collaboration with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders, we have developed a new tool to better inform humanitarian response operations, aligning with the DTM global methodology. Leveraging our extensive network of approximately 367 field-based enumerators and a robust system of over 3,362 key informants across the country, DTM gathered data on IDPs across 7,037 locations, in 181 of Sudan’s 189 localities, across all of Sudan’s 18 states, during March 2024. 


Key Findings

  • DTM Sudan estimates that 6,552,118 individuals (1,308,617 households) have been recently internally displaced.
  • IOM DTM also reports that an estimated 2,019,027 mixed cross-border movements have been made into neighbouring countries.
  • Since 15 April 2023, 46 per cent of the IDP caseload sought refuge in the Darfur and Kordofan regions, whereas 53 per cent were observed across the Northern, Eastern, and Central states.
  • The majority of the IDP caseload (66%) were seeking shelter with the host community.
  • While food remains the highest priority need, health and non-food items are also growing concerns.

Depuis 2015, le Tchad fait l’objet d’attaques perpétrées par des groupes armés non-étatiques présents dans le bassin du Lac Tchad engendrant des déplacements massifs de populations, aussi bien internes que transfrontaliers. Le round 20 d'évaluation des sites et des villages mené entre le 26 mars  et le 08 mai 2023 dans 250 lieux de déplacement dans la province du lac Tchad a fait état d'une population déplacée totale de 259 768 personnes, dont  215 928 personnes déplacées internes (PDI) (82 % de la population déplacée), 22 893 retournés de l'étranger (11%) et 20 947 anciens déplacés internes (7%). Parmi les localités qui accueillent des PDI, 80 pour cent ont indiqué que la principale cause de déplacement était les attaques armées, tandis que 16 pour cent l'ont été à titre préventif par crainte d'une attaque. Pour les localités qui accueillent des retournés de l’étranger, la principale raison évoquée dans 96 pour cent des localités pour leur retour est l'attaque armée. Quant aux localités qui accueillent les retournés anciennes PDI, les deux principales raisons du retour sont la recherche de moyens de subsistance et la recherche de meilleures conditions sécuritaires, évoquées respectivement par 68 pour cent et 32 pour cent des localités. Un grand nombre de PDI se trouvent dans des lieux de déplacement depuis 2015.

Dans ce contexte de déplacements prolongés et nouveaux, il est crucial de disposer d'outils de collecte de données pouvant guider les stratégies de transition humanitaire et de développement. C'est dans cette optique que la Matrice de suivi des déplacements (Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), en anglais) met en place plusieurs outils dans la province du Lac Tchad, dont l'indice de solution et de mobilité. L'objectif de cet indice est d'évaluer la perception de la stabilité des populations déplacées dans leurs zones d'accueil et de mettre en évidence les facteurs influençant cette perception. Le but ultime est de permettre une programmation ciblée dans les localités qui tiennent compte des facteurs qui contribuent le plus à la perception de la stabilité des populations déplacées et, ainsi, permettre des interventions cohérentes qui lient les approches humanitaires, transitoires et de développement en fonction de la situation de la localité.

 

Ce rapport présente les résultats du round 3 de l'indice de solution et de mobilité dans la Province du Lac Tchad. Les données utilisées pour calculer l'indice de solution et de mobilité ont été collectées entre mars et mai 2023.

The overall goal of the 2023 humanitarian Inter-Sector Needs Assessment (ISNA) was to collect and analyze data on the needs and vulnerabilities of households, displacement and migration history, shelter and non-food items (SNFI), water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), health, education, protection, and social cohesion.

The ISNA was intended to fill the information gaps for the 2024 Humanitarian Needs Overview and update the two-year Humanitarian Response Plan (2023-2024). The data collection conducted between July and August 2023, addresses these gaps, while fully respecting accountability to the affected populations and minimizing assessment fatigue.

A total of 12,394 individual household members (hereinafter referred to as 'the survey respondents' or 'respondents') across South Sudan's 10 states and Abyei Administrative Area (here in referred to as 'Abyei') participated in the assessment. Among the total, 62.5 per cent were host community members, 19.7 per cent were returnees, and 17.8 per cent were IDPs. The reported average household size is 5.6 persons per household. The survey targeted heads of households, but in their absence, an individual household member answered on their behalf.

15 per cent of respondents reported having at least one member with a disability, 4 per cent of whom face moderate or severe challenges. This aligns with the WHO's global average. Additionally, chronic illness affects a significant 22 per cent of households, underscoring the need for accessible healthcare within the rural areas of South Sudan

A concerning 48.1 per cent of households have at least one member with a health issue. More critically, 67.9 per cent reported difficulties in accessing healthcare when needed. The primary issues contributing to this are the significant distance to health facilities (50.8%) and lengthy waiting times for services (37.8%). More primary health care and mobile/outreach facilities are needed to address the accessibility and efficiency of healthcare services, ensuring that households in need of health services can promptly receive the care they require.

79.5 per cent indicated that not every individual in their household possesses a valid identification document posing a challenge for the upcoming elections.  With 50.7 per cent of the population requiring access to civil documentation, urgent attention is needed to facilitate the documentation process. 39.7 per cent of households reported they attempted to access civil documentation but faced obstacles which is alarming, this underscores the need for interventions to ensure a smooth and accessible documentation process for all citizens. Addressing this is crucial for facilitating democratic participation and ensuring equal civic rights for the entire population.

Enrollment rates among school-aged children were significantly lower in Lakes (57%), Jonglei (53.2%), Northern bahr El Ghazal (52.3%), Unity (52.3%) and Warrap (49.6%) compared to other states in the current school year. Addressing the high rates of school non-enrollment in these states is crucial to improving educational outcomes in these regions.

Nearly 60 per cent of the population needs protective services, yet almost half (46.4%) face roadblocks in accessing them. Movement restrictions due to insecurity affect 24.6 per cent of households, highlighting the urgency to enhance security measures. Additionally, 15.5 per cent express concern about early marriage for girls, emphasizing the need to implement programs to fight early marriage and promote girls’ education. Equally alarming is the 10.4 per cent reporting unlawful detention as a primary protection concern for boys. Immediate attention and targeted programs are essential to address these pressing protection issues.

Following the escalation of hostilities between the armed group Mouvement du 23 Mars (M23) and the Congolese Armed Forces (FARDC) and their allies at the end of January 2024, a significant displacement crisis has developed in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), particularly in the North Kivu province. Many individuals and families have been uprooted from their communities, seeking safety and shelter in various areas due to deteriorating security conditions. The intensification of the conflict has forced households to abandon their residences, leading to massive displacements from their places of origin to host communities, established sites, collective centers, and newly created sites. In response to these population movements, especially towards existing or newly established sites, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has conducted registrations to keep the data up to date, collect informationon new sites,regularly informstakeholders about the evolutionof movements, and provide data for potential humanitarian assistance.

  • Flow Monitoring

IOM Afghanistan's DTM Flow Monitoring activity, initiated at the beginning of 2024, seeks to quantify and better understand the mobility dynamics at Afghanistan’s borders. On 10 January 2024, DTM began deploying field teams at four border crossing points with the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRN) and Pakistan (PAK), expanding to another border crossing point Ghulam Khan as of 11 February (see map below for the locations of all five crossing points), to conduct two interlinked exercises. The first is a headcount of all individuals entering or leaving Afghanistan (including returnees), also called Flow Monitoring Counting (FMC), to gauge flow volume. The second is a survey of randomly selected Afghan national individuals or groups entering or leaving Afghanistan, also called the Flow Monitoring Survey (FMS), to understand the profiles, motivations, and vulnerabilities of the target population. This snapshot provides key findings combining various IOM data sources, including DTM Afghanistan’s FMC and FMS activities, DTM Pakistan’s Flow Monitoring of Afghan returnees, and IOM Afghanistan’s Cross-Border Post-Arrival Humanitarian Assistance (CB-PAHA) program, for the period 17 to 23 March 2024. For more information about methodology, see the section in the last page of this report titled “IOM INFLOW DATA.”

Between September and October 2022, the International Organization for Migration’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (IOM DTM) undertook its third household-level multi-sector assessment of selected urban areas and camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in South Sudan. The assessment aims to:

• Quantify the prevalence of vulnerabilities and humanitarian needs across sectors, with a focus on food security, economic vulnerability and nutrition as well as selected indicators on shelter and non-food items (SNFI), education, health, water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH), protection (including child protection and gender-based violence) and mental health and psycho-social support (MHPSS).

• Generate a better understanding of urban displacement and migration, including return and relocation after displacement in South Sudan or abroad.

There has been slow progress in the humanitarian situation in South Sudan. People’s humanitarian needs continue to rise, driven by cumulative and compounding effects of years of conflict, sub-national violence, food insecurity, climate crisis and public health challenges. Conflict and insecurity, fueled by sub-national and inter-communal violence, crime, and wide-scale impunity, continue to be among the main drivers of humanitarian needs in South Sudan.

Based on the request of the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT), mandated OCHA, IOM, and REACH to implement Inter-Sectoral Needs Assessment that aimed to understand demographics, multi-sectoral needs (including the level of severity) and barriers to assistance as well as displacement patterns and household-level scale.
