Mobility Tracking

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 Baardheere 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.

The report aims to provide an overview of the migration patterns and mobility in Tajikistan, drawing upon data from the latest available sources until the end of 2023 from national and international datasets on migratory movements concentrating on the most recent migration situation in Tajikistan. This includes migration flow, number of residences permits and remittances, as well as reasons for migration. The report includes the continuing impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on traditional migration corridors in the region, changing labour migration flows, increase of climate change and migration concerns, the growing urbanization process, the social-economic circumstances, and other major events are described as main contributing factors of the human mobility and migratory movements in the given period in the country.

The Central African Republic (CAR), which has experienced continuous volatility for the past two decades, has been riddled by a crisis which ignited in 2012 with a violent takeover of power and has developed into a complex protracted state of permanent insecurity and fragility which has spilled over into neighbouring countries. The crisis is characterized by power struggles amongst elites, the absence of state institutions and public investment, religious and ethnic tensions and disputes for the control of key resources. Moreover, the crisis in Sudan, which started in April 2023, is affecting the eastern part of the CAR witnessing arrivals of displaced populations.

As of May 2024, 4,029,176 individuals were affected, including 518,075 internally displaced persons (13% of the displaced population), 2,196,858 returnees former IDPs (54%), 528,521 returnees from abroad (13%) and 785,722 refugees (20%). In the CAR, the largest displaced population consists of former IDP returnees. Refugees from the CAR are primarily hosted by Cameroon (351,905 individuals, or 47% of the refugees), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) (211,457 individuals, or 28% of the refugees) and Chad (134,485 individuals, or 18% of the refugees). Nonetheless, 15,150 refugees from the Central African Republic are still living in Sudan (2% of the refugees). Since the beginning of the Sudan crisis, a total of 41,795 individuals have entered the CAR. Indeed, the country is home for refugees from neighbouring countries, hosting a total of 36,251 refugees coming from Sudan (25,490 individuals), the DRC (6,447 individuals), South Soudan (2,813 individuals) and Chad (1,501 individuals).

The Central Sahel area, and in particular the Liptako Gourma region, which borders Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, is affected by a complex crisis involving growing competition over dwindling resources; climatic variability; demographic pressure; high levels of poverty; disaffection and a lack of livelihood opportunities; communal tensions; the absence of state institutions and basic services; and violence related to organized crime and non-state armed groups. The crisis has triggered significant displacement of populations in the concerned countries and is affecting neighbouring countries such as Mauritania and the coastal countries.

As of May 2024, 3,135,243 individuals have been displaced, including 2,636,880 internally displaced persons (84% of the displaced population) and 498,363 refugees (16% of the displaced population). Sixty-seven per cent of the displaced populations (2,100,990 individuals) were located in Burkina Faso, while 14 per cent resided in Mali (445,454 individuals), 11 per cent in Niger (352,732 individuals) and 4 per cent in Mauritania (119,354 individuals). The crisis’ recent spill over to coastal countries, namely Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin, shows growing number of refugees coming from the Central Sahel and populations internally displaced. As of May, 116,713 individuals were affected by displacement within the four countries (18,897 in Benin, 49,723 in Côte d’Ivoire, 7,119 in Ghana and 40,974 in Togo) of which 30,372 were internally displaced.

The crisis currently affecting the Lake Chad Basin states results from a complex combination of factors, including conflict with non-state armed groups, extreme poverty, underdevelopment and a changing climate, which together have triggered significant displacement of populations.

As of May 2024, Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria were hosting an estimated 6,089,741 affected individuals made up of internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees (former IDPs and returnees from abroad) and refugees (both in- and out-of-camp). Thirteen per cent of the affected population (776,082  individuals) were located in Cameroon, while 5 per cent resided in Chad (296,654 individuals), 9 per cent in Niger (559,649 individuals) and finally, 74 per cent in Nigeria (4,457,356 individuals). Overall, the numbers show increases in IDPs (+1%) and returnees from abroad (+5%), and a decrease in refugees (-2%) since December 2023. ​

IOM Yemen DTM’s Rapid Displacement Tracking (RDT) tool collects data on estimated numbers of households forced to flee on a daily basis from their locations of origin or displacement, allowing for regular reporting of new displacements in terms of estimated numbers, geography, and needs. It also tracks returnees who returned to their location of origin.

From 1 January to 1 June 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 1,465 households (HH) (8,790 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 26 May and 1 June 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 57 households (342 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Ma’rib (38 HHs) – Ma’rib City (19 HHs), Ma’rib (14 HHs), Harib (5 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Ta’iz and Al Hodeidah.
• Shabwah (8 HHs) – Bayhan (8 HHs) district. All displacements in the governorate originated from Al Bayda.
• Ta’iz (6 HHs) – Al Makha (3 HHs), Al Misrakh (2 HHs), Jabal Habashi (1 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Ta’iz and Al Hodeidah.

The majority of people moved from the following governorates and districts:

• Ta’iz (12 HHs) – Mawza (3 HHs), As Silw (3 HHs), Maqbanah (1 HH) districts.
• Al Hodeidah (9 HHs) – Ad Durayhimi (2 HHs), Az Zuhrah (1 HH), Jabal Ras (1 HH) districts.
• Al Bayda (8 HHs) – Numan (4 HHs), Nati (4 HHs) districts.

IOM identified 50 additional households displaced in the previous reporting period, which covered 19 - 25 May 2024, in the governorates of Ta’iz (35 HHs), Ma’rib (11 HHs), and Al Hodeidah (4 HHs). These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.

A massive landslide occurred on the 24 May of 2024 at 3:00 AM local time in the southeastern area of Maip Muritaka Rural Local Level Government (LLG, Admin 3) in the Highlands´ Enga Province. The disaster caused extensive losses and damages to communities downhill, also destroying livelihoods and key infrastructure. The IOM team in coordination with the National Disaster Centre (NDC) implemented a DTM rapid assessment in a host community to provide relevant and timely information to humanitarian counterparts regarding the situation and main needs from the affected population.

This report presents initial findings from the round one of Mobility Tracking conducted at host communities in the Maip Muritaka Rural LLG from 25-27 May 2024. The two communities assessed reported a total of 7,849 individuals from 1,427 households affected, with 1,650 individuals from 315 households displaced. Population estimates from the National Statistics Office for 2021 indicate that the entire population of the Maip Muritaka Rural LLG is of some 26,450 inhabitants. By this numbers, the current disaster has affected at least 21% of the entire LLG population.

Between 22 and 26 May 2024, a non-state armed group (NSAG) attacked communities in Ngurbuwa and Gujba wards of the Gujba local government area. The incident displaced 732 households (4,734 individuals) and resulted in three fatalities and 12 injuries. Among the affected were 2,720 children, 1,038 women, and 976 men. The displaced population moved to neighbouring communities within Gujba LGA, including Katarko and Anguwar Gabar communities, and in Damaturu LGA, including Bayan Tike and Kasaisa villages. The attack resulted in the destruction of 867 shelters and the loss of many household possessions.

Of all the needs identified, shelter, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) were the most prevalent. Other needs included food, non-food items (NFIs), health services, and psychosocial support.

Following these events, DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) field staff conducted rapid assessments to inform the humanitarian community and government/partners and to enable a targeted response. 

The north-east region of Nigeria grapples with a deeply intricate displacement crisis exacerbated by both human conflict and environmental factors. The non-state armed groups (NSAGs) perpetuate violence, driving large-scale displacement. The escalation of violence in 2014 triggered a multifaceted humanitarian emergency, leading to mass displacement across the area.
