Mobility Tracking

To assess drought-induced mobility and identify the most urgent sectoral needs experienced by the community, the IOM
Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Mobility Tracking and Multi-Sectoral Location Assessment (MSLA) baseline assessment
was deployed in 2022 in Turkana County. A second round of data collection for mobility tracking took place between May
and June 2023, presented here. Key findings from this assessment included: 

• Between November 2022 and May 2023, the reported primary driver of displacement shifted from drought to
forced displacement due to resource -based conflict and ethnic clashes.
• Almost all arrival households (96% or 15,024 households) arrived at sub-locations in May 2023 that already
struggled with the severe effects of drought, resource-based conflict, and ethnic clashes.
• 78 per cent of returnees temporarily resided in Turkana in a location outside their immediate area of
origin, suggesting prevalent internal migration within the county.
• 19,515 child-headed households were identified. Of these, 1,622 (8%) had no relatives or community members
living near them and were separated from their legal or customary guardians.
• 6,216 children were without permanent sources of support.
• Almost half (48%) of the assessed sub-locations that reported loss of livestock reported child labour (whether
within or outside the ward) as a coping strategy, while around one quarter (24%) of sub-locations reported early
marriage of boys and girls as a key coping strategy.

Le rapport DTM indique qu'entre le 22 et le 28 avril 2024, au Burundi, 44 202 personnes ont été affectées et 3 455 déplacées suite à des pluies torrentielles, des glissements de terrain, et des inondations nécessitant une réponse immédiate de la communauté humanitaire. Parmi les affectés, 23 043 sont des femmes et 21 159 sont des hommes.

La répartition par type d'urgence montre que les inondations ont affecté 24 891 personnes et en ont déplacé 2 539, les pluies torrentielles ont affecté 19 033 personnes et en ont déplacé 804, et les glissements de terrain ont affecté 278 personnes et en ont déplacé 112. Les groupes vulnérables comprennent 40 femmes enceintes ou allaitantes, 10 hommes seuls chefs de ménage, 9 femmes seuls chefs de ménage, 7 personnes avec une maladie chronique, et 7 personnes âgées vivant seules. Les dommages incluent de nombreuses habitations ainsi que des infrastructures telles que des écoles, des églises et des bâtiments administratifs. Cette situation met en lumière la nécessité d'une aide humanitaire continue et ciblée dans la région.

This infographic presents the key findings of Round 51 of the mobility tracking and flow monitoring components of the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) programme in Libya.

Between 17 to 29 April 2024, sporadic attacks, and fear of attacks by Non-state Armed Groups in Ancuabe and Chiúre triggered the cumulative displacement of 41,251 individuals/9,775 families. The current Movement Alert #108 reports on most recent attacks in southern Cabo Delgado.

The number of migrants in Libya has been increasing since September 2023 and stands at its highest since DTM started operating in Libya. Previously, the number of migrants in Libya had declined as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and its socioeconomic impact. Some factors that may explain the increase in the number of migrants includes a rise in the number of Sudanese nationals, particularly in Alkufra and other locations in eastern Libya because of the ongoing conflict in their country of origin. In parallel, DTM Libya also observed an increase in the number of nationals, particularly from Egypt and Sudan, in some municipalities in the east and southwest as a result of greater livelihood opportunities, including in the construction and agricultural sectors.

Between 17 to 28 April 2024, sporadic attacks, and fear of attacks by Non-state Armed Groups in Ancuabe and Chiúre triggered the cumulative displacement of 35,948 individuals/8,427 families. The current Movement Alert #107 reports on most recent attacks in southern Cabo Delgado.

This snapshot on Pakistani migrants’ presence in Libya is part of the outputs of IOM’s EU-funded Displacement Tracking Matrix - Regional Evidence for Migration Analysis and Policy (DTM REMAP) project. Data collected through the Mobility Tracking assessment in Libya identified 5,852 Pakistani nationals in the country between October and December 20231. In addition, 94 flow monitoring surveys have been conducted. Mobility Tracking in Libya gathers data through key informant interviews at both the municipality and community levels on a bi-monthly basis. All 100 municipalities were assessed during the data collection period. Of the total migrants identified by key informants in the country in October and December 2023, Pakistani migrants comprised only one per cent of total migrants in the country; however, Pakistani nationals accounted for 10 per cent of all migrants, including refugees, from Asia and the Middle East. Ninety-five per cent of Pakistani migrants used air travel as their means of transportation to Libya. In addition, the average cost of their migration was 2,333 USD2. Eighty-four per cent of Pakistani migrants were identified in eastern Libya. However, the highest concentration was in Benghazi (74%) in the east, followed by Sirt (9%) in the west and Ejdabia (7%) in the east.
