Baseline Assessment

IOM Libya’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) programme identified a total of 761,322 migrants from 44 nationalities in the 100 Libyan municipalities during round 53 of data collection (June - July 2024).

The number of migrants in Libya has continued to increase slightly (+5%) compared to the previous round of data collection in line with a trend that started in December 2023. The rise in the number of migrants in Libya can be at least partially linked to the continuous arrival of Sudanese migrants, particularly in Alkufra, because of the ongoing conflict in their country of origin. While the number of migrants identified by DTM Libya in July 2024 is the highest since DTM started collecting data in 2016 it remains lower than prior to the onset of conflict in 2011 when it was estimated to be around 2.5 million.

This infographic presents the key findings of Round 53 of the mobility tracking and flow monitoring components of the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) programme in Libya.

This latest round of Emergency Trends Tracking was initiated in April 2024 to monitor displacements movements during the Gu rainy season. Districts covered in this round include Afgooye, Afmadow, Baardheere, Baidoa, Balcad, Belet Weyne, Belet Xaawo, Cabudwaaq, Dayniile, Dhuusamarreeb, Doolow, Gaalkacyo, Garoowe, Hodan, Jamaame, Jowhar, Kahda, Kismaayo, and Luuq. ETT is a crisis-based tool that tracks sudden displacement triggered by specific events or emerging crises.

The objective of ETT is to help prioritize humanitarian response and to enable partners to deliver rapid assistance. Based on previous shock induced displacement patterns, the humanitarian community expects that people will continue to move toward urban areas in search of humanitarian services. Consequently, the ETT coverage focuses on the main urban centers and surrounding villages for each assessed district. The data is collected through Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) at the location level, from Sunday to Wednesday every week. It includes information on new arrivals, numbers and demographic of IDPs, reasons for displacement, intentions, humanitarian assistance and priority needs among others.

To facilitate the joint analysis of the CCCM (Camp Coordination and Camp Management) Cluster’s New Arrivals Tracker (NAT) and ETT data, the assistance and needs indicators are identical in both tools.

DTM implements the Baseline Mobility Assessment (BMA) in Tajikistan to track mobility, provide information on population estimates, geographic distribution of migrant workers and return migrants, reasons for migration and countries of return. Data is collected at the village level from key informants and direct observations.

The Baseline Mobility Assessment (BMA) was conducted in all five provinces in 12 districts/cities of Tajikistan (including Ismoili Somoni, Sino, Firdawsi, Shohmansur districts of Dushanbe city, Vahdat city, Rudaki district of Districts of Central Subordination, Khujand city of Sughd region, Bokhtar, Kulob cities and Panj district of Khatlon region, Khorugh city and Vanj district of Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast (GBAO). This assessment covered 948 communities through focus group discussions with 3,288 key informants. Based on the key informants' estimates, 1,060 international migrant workers were hosted in the assessed communities in Tajikistan during 2020 and April 2024. Concurrently, 3,371 internal migrants were hosted in the assessed communities and 274,313 Tajik nationals were reported to be residing abroad as international migrants. In addition, 334,299 return migrants returned from abroad.

Debido a su ubicación geográfica Honduras se encuentra dentro de la ruta migratoria hacia el norte de América, específicamente hacia los Estados Unidos de América, México y el Canadá. Las personas migrantes en tránsito ingresan al territorio hondureño especialmente a través de los municipios fronterizos y de tránsito Trojes, El Paraíso y Danlí. Según los registros del Instituto Nacional de Migración (INM) hasta junio del 2024 aproximadamente 243.765 personas migrantes han ingresado al país, de esta cantidad el 46 por ciento son de origen venezolano, 17 por ciento de origen cubano, seis por ciento de origen ecuatoriano y seis por ciento de origen haitiano1.

Actualmente en Honduras, las personas migrantes en condición irregular ingresan para seguir su ruta migratoria viajando con grupos de familia, amigos o conocidos y solos, de estos grupos destacan personas de la nacionalidad de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela (66 por ciento), Cuba (17 por ciento), Colombia (7 por ciento), Ecuador y otras nacionalidades (5 por ciento).

Así mismo este informe proporciona información sobre por qué migran las personas, razones de impulso para emprender su viaje, principales necesidades en sus países de orígenes, migración por impacto de desastres, medios de transporte que utilizan para movilizarse, medios de comunicación y fuentes de información que utilizan para preparar su viaje. Así mismo, el informe presenta la identificación de perfiles, vulnerabilidades y país de destino.

En este sentido, este informe cuantifica el flujo migratorio para así dar respuestas a las necesidades de esta población y de este modo llevar a cabo coordinaciones entre actores involucrados para fomentar una migración ordenada, segura, y mejorar la asistencia humanitaria a favor de la población migrante que ingresa al territorio hondureño por la frontera Sur Oriente.

Compte tenu de la nécessité de disposer d'informations précises et agréées par les autorités, l'OIM, par le biais de la matrice de suivi des déplacements (DTM), a mené des évaluations de suivi de la mobilité (Mobility Tracking - MT en anglais) depuis 2018. Ces exercices sont mis en oeuvre en RDC dans le but de fournir des estimations sur la présence, le nombre de groupes de population affectés (PDI, personnes retournées), les raisons du déplacement, la durée du déplacement et les besoins spécifiques dans des lieux définis. Les données pour l'exercice MT sont collectées sur une base semestrielle par des équipes d'enquêteurs formés, par le biais d'entretiens avec des informateurs clés et d'observations directes au niveau des villages. Au cours de ce processus, l'OIM s'assure de la participation des représentants du gouvernement pendant la collecte des données afin de promouvoir et de renforcer les capacités dans l'éventualité d'un transfert. Les données de l'OIM sont ensuite présentées et validées par la Commission de mouvement de population (CMP) de la province.

Les statistiques synthétiques présentées dans ce rapport sont obtenues à partir du cycle de MT le plus récent pour chaque province, qui s'est déroulé entre mars et mai 2024, afin de produire une vue d'ensemble de la situation du déplacement dans la région de l'est de la RDC. Les chiffres concernant les individus déplacés en raison de la crise du M23 sont extraits de la dernière analyse de la crise du M23.

Dans les quatre provinces de l'Est de la RDC, l'Ituri, le Nord-Kivu, le Sud-Kivu et le Tanganyika, DTM a identifié 5 647 465 personnes déplacées et 3 525 590 personnes retournées, présentes dans 71 pour cent des villages évalués. DTM estime que la plus grande proportion (45%) de personnes déplacées (2 561 136 individus) est installée au Nord-Kivu, suivie par 25 pour cent (1 395 604) en Sud-Kivu, 24 pour cent (1 360 577) au Ituri et 6 pour cent (330,148) au Tanganyika. Les raisons de déplacement les plus fréquemment rapportées par les populations déplacées résidant dans des familles d'accueil sont les attaques de groupes armés (87%), les conflits intercommunautaires (10%) et les catastrophes naturelles (3%). Il est estimé que 2-026 086 personnes ont été déplacées par la crise du M23 au moment de la dernière analyse de crise de la DTM.

IOM DRC - through its Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) - has been conducting Mobility Tracking (MT) assessments since 2018. These exercises are implemented in the DRC with the aim of providing estimates on presence, number of affected population groups (IDPs, returnees), reasons for displacement, duration of displacement and specific needs within defined locations. Data for the MT exercise is collected on a bi-annual basis by teams of trained enumerators, through key informant interviews and direct observations at a village level. As part of this process, IOM ensures the participation of government representatives during data collection to promote and build capacity in the event of handover. IOM data is then presented to and validated by the provincial Population Movement Commission (Commission de mouvement de population – CMP in French).

The summary statistics presented in this report are drawn from the most recent MT round for each province, which took place between March and May 2024, to produce an overview of the displacement situation in the Eastern DRC region. 

In the four eastern provinces of the DRC, comprising Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu, and Tanganyika, during this assessment DTM identified 5,647,465 internally displaced people (IDPs) and 3,525,590 returnees, present in 71 per cent of assessed villages. DTM estimates that the highest proportion (45%) of IDPs (2,561,136 individuals) are hosted in North Kivu, followed by 25 per cent (1,395,604) in South Kivu, 24 per cent (1,360,577) in Ituri and 6 per cent (330,148) in Tanganyika. The most frequently reported reasons for displacement among displaced populations living in host families are attacks by armed groups (87%), inter-community conflict (10%) and natural disasters (3%). An estimated 2,026,086 individuals were displaced by the M23 crisis at the time of the most recently produced DTM crisis analysis.

Since October 8 there has been an increase in cross-border incidents between Israel and Lebanon, resulting in the displacement of people both within the South and elsewhere within the country. Since October 10, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has been conducting the daily monitoring of population movements. The objective of the exercise is to inform preparedness and response planning.

This latest round of Emergency Trends Tracking was initiated in April 2024 to monitor displacements movements during the Gu rainy season. Districts covered in this round include Afgooye, Afmadow, Baardheere, Baidoa, Balcad, Belet Weyne, Belet Xaawo, Cabudwaaq, Dayniile, Dhuusamarreeb, Doolow, Gaalkacyo, Garoowe, Hodan, Jamaame, Jowhar, Kahda, Kismaayo, and Luuq.
