About Afghanistan

The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) is an information management system of tools and methodologies used to track and monitor displacement and population mobility. In Afghanistan, IOM activated the DTM programme in January 2017 in response to the substantial increase of Afghans returning home from neighbouring countries, as well as record levels of internal displacement. DTM in Afghanistan is designed to regularly and systematically capture, process and disseminate multi-layered information about the population sizes, locations, geographic distribution, movements, vulnerabilities, evolving multisectoral needs, and the drivers of migration of returnees, IDPs, migrants and mobile populations. DTM implements baseline mobility assessments, flow monitoring, registrations, and various migration surveys to provide an essential evidence base that enables decision-makers and humanitarian, reintegration and development partners to maximize resources and deliver efficient, better-targeted, mobility-sensitive and sustainable humanitarian; reintegration, community stabilization and development programming.

The value-added impact of DTM in Afghanistan is to inform action and results for people in need. DTM Afghanistan implements its activities at both the national and provincial levels. DTM works closely with other (IOM) programmes through referring identified populations in need of assistance at flow monitoring points to IOM’s Cross Border Return and Reintegration, Protection, Humanitarian Assistance, and Reintegration and Development (RADA) programmes. DTM Afghanistan also supports humanitarian partners and clusters, including WFP, FAO, UNHCR, IRC, DRC, NRC, and WHO, among many others, by providing emergency tracking updates in large-scale or sudden onset movements, such as emergency event tracking and drought response. Furthermore, stabilization and development actors, including IOM’s RADA programme, and the World Bank leverage DTM’s information to select priority communities and districts with higher concentrations of IDPs and returnees to receive reintegration and livelihoods assistance and improvements to core infrastructure and essential services. In support of health partners, including WHO, UNICEF, and the Humanitarian Health Cluster, DTM data informs the selection of priority, at-risk districts, border areas, communities, and health facilities in need of strengthened capacity, response, surveillance, and risk education for polio, TB, COVID-19, and other infectious diseases.

Mobility Impact due to COVID-19 in Afghanistan

The content presented on this portal is for informative purposes only. All information is being constantly validated including geo-location and attributes. As the situation is changing rapidly, we aren’t able to ensure up to date accuracy of some of the information, while it is correct to the best of our knowledge at the time of uploading. The scale of the data operation also doesn’t enable us yet to ensure that there aren’t some errors. The timeliness of these updates depends on the timeframe within which the information becomes available and is processed by IOM. We encourage anybody with more accurate/updated information to contact DTM Covid-19 Coordination Team at: dtmcovid19@iom.int. For more check the Terms & Conditions Sections.

The current outbreak of COVID-19 has affected global mobility in the form of various travel disruptions, restrictions and blockages. To better understand how COVID-19 affects global mobility, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has been working to map the impacts on human mobility, at Global, Regional and Country level. Subsequently, the IOM have initiated the following activities:

COVID-19 Travel Restriction Monitoring - Using secondary data sources, such as the International Air Transport Association (IATA), media reports and information direct from IOM missions, this platform maps and analyzes the various country, territories and areas imposing restrictions, and those with restrictions being imposed upon them, all categorized by restriction type. All analyses is presented at country level.

COVID-19 Country Points of Entry (PoE) Status Baseline Assessment – Using direct input from IOM missions, this dashboard displays daily updated mobility restrictions at location level (airport, land border points, blue border points, internal transit points). For each point of entry, data is collected on: type of restriction, measured applied & timeframe, population category that might be affected from the measures. This data is displayed in the Point of Entry layers on this map.
