Zimbabwe — Returns Intention Survey (August - September 2020)

After the impact of Cyclone Idai in Zimbabwe in March 2019, IOM has been continuously monitoring the affected population through it’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) tools. From 26 August to 17 September 2020, IOM DTM Team, in close coordination with the Government of Zimbabwe, conducted a Return Intention Assessment in 6 wards of Chimanimani District and 4 wards of Chipinge District, Manicaland province. This exercise collected data from a total of 713 households (HH) in the 10 wards combined. The following report is an analysis of the data gathered from the assessment, covering household profiles, intentions and livelihood situations. The main objective of the survey is to better understand the intentions and living conditions of the population residing in these affected areas in order to support recovery and reintegration efforts by providing the support needed in terms of shelter and livelihoods.
