South Sudan — Biometric registration update: Juba PoC sites (October 2018)

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) team in South Sudan began the exercise in early September with a two-day Temporary Registration (T-REG), which enabled the organization to quickly determine, which persons are currently resident in the site. By capturing the fingerprints of all those present in the site during the two-day lockdown, IOM created a database of those entitled to come forward during the full registration exercise conducted between 14 September and 16 October 2018. The use of T-REG for the initial stage of biometric registration is a new methodology and constitutes a marked improvement over previous uses of ink and tokens. In coordination with partners, IOM registered 32,113 displaced people (13,257 households) living in Juba’s two PoC sites.
