Baseline Assessment

This report aims to provide a holistic view of the forced displacement situation in Haiti. Since August 2022, the Directorate General of Civil Protection (DGPC) and the IOM’s Displacement Monitoring Matrix (DTM) have been carrying out periodic assessments of areas hosting displaced populations. Data is collected through direct observations as well as interviews with key informants. The last exercise of these evaluations (Round 5 – December 2023) indicated that 313,901 people were internally displaced in Haiti (in 7 districts evaluated out of the 10 in the country). This new report indicates the presence of 362,551 internally displaced people, 15% more than in the round 5

In the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince, 61% of IDPs reside in spontaneous sites, exposed to several protection, health and other risks. This report presents an overview of the displacement situation in these sites.

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.

DTM REMAP 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.

Baseline Mobility Assessment (BMA) was conducted in all five provinces and all 12 districts/cities (including Khujand and Khorugh cities, and Rudaki, Kulob, Panj, Vanj, Vahdat, Bokhtar, Firdawsi, Sino, Shohmansur and Ismoili Somoni dsitricts). This assessment covered 919 communities through 2,816 key informant interviews. Based on the key informants' estimates, 2,581 international migrant workers were hosted in the assessed communities in Tajikistan during 2020 and 2023. Concurrently, 1,900 internal migrants were hosted in the assessed communities and 247,753 Tajik nationals were reported to be residing abroad as international migrants. In addition, 121,095 return migrants have returned from abroad.

The Return Index is a tool designed to measure the severity of conditions in locations of return. Data collection for the Return Index Round 19 took place during May and August 2023 across 9 governorates, 39 districts and 2,170 locations in Iraq. During this round, an additional thirteen locations of return were assessed. 

The Return Index is a tool designed to measure the severity of conditions in locations of return.
