Mobility Tracking

The GRANIT was conceived in 2021 in Dakar at the initiative of OCHA, IOM and REACH with the support of the Regional Sectoral Groups, UN agencies and NGOs. GRANIT seeks to create a forum of technical experts and information managers to pave the way for a regional, holistic and cross-sectoral analytical approach to inform the crisis preparedness and response phases. The aim of the monitoring tool is to track developments in the context in the target countries, using a multi-hazard approach. To this end, 15 indicators have been selected by the regional group of experts in emergency preparedness and response and GRANIT members. This report presents the evolution of the situation in Benin, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana and Togo, as of 30 September 2024. 

An estimated 910,000 people have crossed into Chad since the onset of the crisis in Sudan, of which 209,153 are Chadian returnees as of beginning of November 2024. IOM expects this number to rise to 240,000 through to December 2024 due to ongoing conflict and food insecurity in Darfur.

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.

Between 17 and 18 November 2024, recent attacks and the pervasive fear of further violence by Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs) in Ancuabe district have triggered the displacement of approximately 1,854 individuals, representing 393 families. This sudden movement underscores the volatile security situation in Cabo Delgado, where civilians continue to bear the brunt of ongoing instability. According to the Key Informants’ responses, 50% of the individuals displaced mentioned food as the immediate humanitarian need followed by shelter (31%), and essential Non-Food Items (19%), as families struggle to cope with the trauma and disruption caused by these events.

The purpose of the emergency tracking tool is to collect information on sudden and significant displacements mainly triggered by security and climatic emergencies. The information is collected through key informant interviews and direct observations.

This dashboard presents a summary of information on confirmed movements of persons which occured from October 1st to 31st, 2024 in the Lake province.

Between 4 and 10 November 2024, a total of 574 new arrivals were recorded at locations in Adamawa and Borno states.

Between 4 and 10 November 2024, 440 new arrivals were recorded at locations in Benue State, including Logo, Guma and Gwer-west local government areas (LGAs).

La DTM Burundi a le plaisir de vous partager (dans le lien ci-dessus) des informations sur les urgences qui se sont produites au Burundi en dates du 11 au 17 novembre 2024. La DTM a identifié 12 852 personnes affectées dont 724 personnes déplacées par les vents violents et les pluies torrentielles dans les provinces de Bururi, Rutana, Cibitoke, Kirundo, Cankuzo et Rumonge.

This latest round of Emergency Trends Tracking was initiated in April 2024 to monitor displacements movements during the Gu rainy season. From April to September 2024, DTM teams collected data in up to 22 districts: Afgooye, Afmadow, Baardheere, Baidoa, Balcad, Belet Weyne, Belet Xaawo, Cabudwaaq, Dayniile, Dhuusamarreeb, Doolow, Gaalkacyo, Garoowe, Hodan, Jamaame, Jowhar, Kahda, Kismaayo, Luuq, Waajid, Xudur and Hobyo. As of Round 28, data collection occurred in only 4 districts: Xudur, Waajid, Gaalkacyo and Hobyo districts.

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.
