About South Sudan
Conflict and instability in South Sudan have resulted in large-scale internal and cross-border displacement since the December 2013 crisis of over 4 million individuals. In September 2018, the Revitalized Agreement for the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS) was signed between the major warring parties. Whilst overall there have been improvements in security since and returns are ongoing, fighting and communal clashes (frequently linked to cattle raiding) continue to trigger new displacements and the situation remains volatile.
DTM South Sudan’s toolbox is designed to meet critical information gaps during all phases of response, from preparedness, to intervention and transition/recovery. DTM South Sudan provides country-wide figures on the numbers, locations and priority needs of IDPs and returnees updated on a quarterly and ad-hoc basis. The programme undertakes biometric registration in selected parts of the country to support partners with reaching intended beneficiaries during distributions. Flow monitoring data is collected on a daily basis at displacement sites, key transit hubs and border crossing points to identify mobility dynamics of migrants including IPDs and returnees. Through ad hoc surveys, headcounts, infrastructure/service mapping exercises and other assessments, DTM provides additional information to support partners in planning their response.

Through Mobility Tracking, DTM is able to provide a comprehensive baseline and regular updates on the trends and changes in numbers, locations and priority needs of IDPs and returnees in South Sudan.
IOM DTM is measuring migration to and from Sudan passing through Abyei Town (Amiet Market). Migration to Sudan has been 4.5 times higher than movement from Sudan into South Sudan during the reporting period, December 2017 to June 2018.
In mid-July, armed attacks in the Dungop in Abyei led to the displacement of 150 individuals (30 households) to Abyei’s Ameth Aguok region.
Since the end of May, conflict between government and opposition forces has led to IDPs fleeing to Tambura from the Nagero area. Travel routes are unsafe, and IDPs have resorted to traveling by foot to reach IDP sites.
Internally displaced persons (IDPs) that have recently fled to Yambio town as a result of conflict indicate that they have traveled from areas such as Saura, Makporo, Mamamo, Bazumburu, and Rimenze (Yambio Payam).
The International Organization for Migration’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (IOM DTM), in partnership with the World Food Programme (WFP), local authorities and other partners, conducted a biometric registration (BMR) exercise in Nyal and Ganyiel towns between 28 June and 10 July, 2018 as per the re
Malakal PoC site stands out as having consistently witnessed a larger inflow of people than outflow. During the nine-month reporting period, 5,297 individuals (2,384 households) were recorded entering and 543 individuals exiting (202 households).
DTM recorded a total of 2,539 individuals entering and 1,943 individuals exiting Wau’s Protection of Civilians Adjacent Area (PoC AA) site during the reporting period.
With a larger population than Malakal and Wau PoC combined, Bentiu PoC site has witnessed the largest net population flow in and out of its gates during the nine-month reporting period.
Through mobility tracking, DTM is able to provide a comprehensive baseline and regular updates on the trends and changes in numbers, locations and priority needs of IDPs and returnees in South Sudan.
Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) have been sheltering at the Bentiu protection of civilian (PoC) site since December 2013. There are currently 114,652 IDPs seeking protection in the site.
IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) conducted a combined assessment comprising a Village Assessment Survey (VAS) in Malakal Town and a complementary survey in the PoC site from 16 to 26 February 2018 to meet information gaps identified by the inter cluster working group (ICWG).
In December 2017, an assessment was carried out by Humanity and Inclusion (HI) together with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Bentiu Protection of Civilian (PoC) site to increase the understanding of the situation of persons with disabilities in Bentiu PoC, including the barr
The team conducted a biometric registration exercise in the Greater Mayom area from 21 January to 18 March 2018 covering ten different registration centres. The team processed a total of 137,538 individuals corresponding to 47,707 households.
DTM biometrically registered a total of 20,891 individuals (4,490 households) in Bor between 27 February and 14 March 2018. Of these, 93.6 per cent were from Bor South, 4.1 per cent from Twic East and 1.95 per cent from Duk.
Persons exiting PoC sites should not be seen as returnees as these population movements are often cyclical as opposed to permanent. Wau PoC AA site has witnessed relatively more inflows than exits over the three months (F.1&2).
Persons exiting PoC sites should not be seen as returnees as these population movements are often cyclical as opposed to permanent. Bentiu PoC site has witnessed consistently more exits than entries over the three months.
Persons exiting PoC sites should not be seen as returnees as these population movements are often cyclical as opposed to permanent. Malakal PoC site has witnessed disproportionally large inflows as opposed to exits over the last weeks.
Through mobility tracking, DTM is able to provide a comprehensive baseline and regular updates on the trends and changes in numbers, locations and priority needs of IDPs and returnees in South Sudan.
