Survey

Between August 12 and October 15, 2024, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) carried out Round 18 of the General Population Survey (GPS), which offers a highly representative assessment of internal displacement in Ukraine. The data in this report, commissioned by IOM, was gathered by 61 enumerators from Multicultural Insights through screener phone-based interviews involving 40,002 randomly selected respondents, alongside follow-up interviews with 1,421 internally displaced persons (IDPs), 1,185 returnees, and 1,804 residents. These interviews were conducted using the computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) method and a random digit dial (RDD) approach.

This report presents the main findings from Round 18 of the GPS, providing detailed insights into population figures, analysis of displacement flows and mobility intentions, demographic profiles, household composition and vulnerabilities, and the needs of the displaced population. These insights aim to support evidence-based decision-making on strategic, technical, and programmatic aspects of the response and recovery efforts in Ukraine.

The Oblast Profiles provide key representative findings for 13 oblasts and Kyiv City on current population estimates, displacement flows and mobility intentions, demographics, household composition and vulnerabilities, and the needs of present populations. They also focus on durable solution pathways to internal displacement and sustainable reintegration of returnees, aligning with the criteria proposed by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Framework on Durable Solutions for IDPs. 
 
This report presents findings from Rounds 18 of the General Population Survey (GPS). Data collection was conducted from 12 August to 15 October 2024. 

On 24 February 2022, the Russian Federation initiated a large-scale invasion of Ukraine, leading to an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. In response, starting on 9 March 2022, the International Organization for Migration (IOM)'s Data and Analytics Unit began conducting systematic assessments of the Ukrainian population. These assessments are designed to gather critical information on displacement, mobility flows, intentions, and living conditions to inform targeted assistance. Initially conducted every two months, the survey frequency shifted to quarterly from Round 13 onwards. In June 2024, the methodology was further refined to produce quarterly, representative data at the oblast level, enabling more localized analysis.

This methodological note outlines the assessment methodology and sampling design for Round 18 of the General Population Survey (GPS), and the same approach will be applied to subsequent rounds, including Rounds 19 and 20.

On 26th October 2024, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) conducted a rapid intention survey through its Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in collaboration with ACTED, the camp management organization. This survey was conducted in Renk TC and its surrounding areas. The primary objective was to monitor population dynamics and displacement patterns within the center. The insights gained from this survey are intended to enhance humanitarian responses and optimize Onward Transportation Assistance (OTA) operations. According to the headcount conducted by ACTED on October 24, 2024, the TC hosts 13,227 individuals (11,743 South Sudanese returnees and 1,484 individuals of other nationalities).

MTM implements the Return Migrants Survey in Tajikistan with international return migrants in 12 districts and cities in all 5 regions of Tajikistan. The selection of survey locations was informed by the findings of MTM’s Baseline Mobility Assessment (BMA). 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 third round of the survey (conducted from June to August 2024), 2,186 return migrants were interviewed. The key findings reveal significant insights into their circumstances. The majority of return migrants, 97 per cent, came from the Russian Federation. Moreover, 44 per cent of the respondents reported having attained an upper secondary education level, while 63 per cent of the respondents identified themselves as the primary breadwinners for their families. The majority, 45 per cent of the return migrants, were previously engaged in the construction sector. Moreover, a notable portion, 53 per cent, stated circular movement between country of return and Tajikistan.

This report provides an in-depth look at the progress made in supporting the displaced residents of the Dauchi settlement, located in Song local government area, Adamawa State. Dauchi, home to over 200 households, has become a permanent refuge for people who were forced to flee their homes due to the insurgency in north-east Nigeria. Instead of returning to their areas of origin, many displaced persons have chosen to integrate into this local community.
Through a detailed survey, this report explores the living conditions and livelihoods of Dauchi’s residents while also assessing the availability of key infrastructure and services, such as health centres, schools, and water sources. In addition, demographic data from registration exercises offers valuable insights into the population’s age and gender distribution, which helps inform future interventions for the community.
The findings provide a comprehensive view of Dauchi’s socio-economic landscape and the challenges its residents face, making this report a vital resource for those working to improve conditions and provide long-term solutions for the settlement’s residents.
