Mobility Tracking

This report presents results from the early warning tool for the month of August 2024 in Kaduna and Katsina states. A network of key informants selected from members of the Community Response Networks (CRNs) and Local Government Area (LGAs) - based team leads, were employed for data collection.

The triangulated alerts recorded events (52%) and sudden movements (48%) during the period. Bondog and Kaura wards located in Kaura LGA and Gidan Tagwai Ward located in Kachia LGA shared the highest number of recorded event alerts in these locations.

MTM implements the International Migrant Workers Survey in Kazakhstan with international migrant workers in various locations including seven regions and three cities. The selection of survey locations was informed by the findings of IOM’s Baseline Mobility Assessment (BMA) on international migrant workers. The survey questionnaire drew upon IOM's previous studies in Central Asia and consultations with both internal and external experts. It covered a range of topics including socio-economic profiles, migration experiences, employment status, remittances, as well as identifying needs and vulnerabilities.

In the fourth round (April - May 2024) of the international migrant workers survey, 1,845 international migrant workers were interviewed. Key findings reveal that 33 per cent of respondents had attained only a lower secondary education, and nearly half identified themselves as the primary breadwinners for their families. A notable 40 per cent reported not receiving pension payments, while 73 per cent lacked access to annual leave. Employment insecurity was also evident, with 34 per cent working without formal contracts, and 41 per cent paying rent for their accommodation. For 55 per cent, the high cost of rent was a significant financial strain. The majority, 39 per cent, were employed in the construction sector. While 86 per cent stated they had sufficient resources to cover essential goods, 20 per cent lacked access to health services. Additionally, 44 per cent of respondents sent more than half of their income in remittances to their families, highlighting their role as key financial supporters.

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, Luuq, Xudur, Waajid, and Hobyo. 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.

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 Sudan regularly releases Early Warning Flash Alerts to report on specific incidents that triggered or may trigger sudden displacement across Sudan, including armed clashes, inter/intra communal conflicts, and natural hazards, including fires and floods. This report represents a bi-monthly analysis of incidents reported by Early Warning Flash Alerts released between August and September 2024, providing insights into displacement dynamics across Sudan.  

Key Figures:  

• Between 01 August and 30 September 2024, DTM Sudan reported on 130 incidents triggering displacement across locations in North Darfur, Northern, and Red Sea states, including conflict and floods incidents. 
• Sixteen per cent of alerts were related to conflict or armed clashes, while 83 per cent incidents were related to natural hazards. 
• Since the onset of the conflict on 15 April 2024, the months with the most reported EWs were August 2024 (96), May 2024(34), and December 2023 (30). The states with the most reported incidents were in North Darfur (119), South Kordofan (45) and South Darfur (40) states. 

Note: DTM Sudan Early Warning Flash Alerts are distributed via the DTM Sudan mailing list.  Figures should be treated as preliminary findings only and are subject to change via future verification exercises. Flash alerts report incidents of sudden displacement, and therefore may or may not be indicative of broader displacement dynamics For further information on displacement and mobility across Sudan, see Sudan Mobility Update (8).
