З 27 листопада по 27 грудня 2023 року Міжнародна організація з міграції (МОМ) провела 15-й раунд Опитування загального населення (GPS) - високорепрезентативної оцінки внутрішнього переміщення та повернення в Україні. П'ятдесят експертів зі збору даних провели скринінгові телефонні інтерв'ю з 20 000 випадково відібраних респондентів та подальші інтерв'ю з 1 517 ВПО, 1 541 особами, які повернулися, та 2 002 місцевими жителями, використовуючи методологію комп'ютеризованого телефонного інтерв'ю (CATI) та метод випадкового набору номера (RDD).

У цьому звіті представлені основні результати Раунду 15 GPS, зокрема детальна інформація про чисельність населення, переміщення та наміри щодо повернення, демографічні профілі, склад домогосподарств і вразливості, а також потреби населення, що повертається, з метою сприяння прийняттю обґрунтованих рішень щодо стратегічних, технічних і програмних аспектів реагування на надзвичайні ситуації та заходів з відновлення в Україні.

In February 2024, there were 277 alerts reported alerts, with 238 (86%) classified as events and 39 (14%) as movement alerts. In Adamawa state, Demsa, Lamurde, Girei, and Shelleng LGAs reported event alerts in all instances of reported alerts in the LGAs. Conversely, no movement alerts were reported in these LGAs. In Mayo-Belwa LGA, 83 per cent of reported alerts were events-related, while 17 per cent of alerts were attributed to movements. In Guyuk LGA, 41 per cent of alerts were associated with events, while 59 per cent were linked to movements. In Taraba state, Zing LGA predominantly reported 79 per cent of event alerts, while movements-related alerts constituted 21 per cent of the total. Similarly, Lua LGA reported 40 per cent of alerts as events-related and 60 per cent as movements-related. Disaggregated ward-level data reveals that Kodompti ward in Numan LGA of Adamawa state reported the highest percentage of events, accounting for 9 per cent of the total incidents across the LGAs.

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 16 March 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 830 households (HH) (4,980 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 10 and 16 March 2024, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 32 households (192 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Ma’rib (17 HHs) – Ma’rib City (9 HHs), Ma’rib (8 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Ma’rib and Al Hodeidah.
• Ta’iz (12 HHs) – Mawza (11 HH), Al Mawasit (1 HH) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal.
• Al Hodeidah (3 HHs) – Hays (3 HHs) district. All displacements in the governorate were internal.

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

• Ta’iz (12 HHs) – Maqbanah (7 HHs), Mawza (3 HHs), Mashrah Wa Hadnan (1 HH) districts.
• Al Hodeidah (7 HHs) – Al Jarrahi (3 HHs), Al Marawiah (2 HHs), Al Hawak (1 HH) districts.
• Ma’rib (4 HHs) – Al Jubah (2 HHs), Harib (2 HHs) districts.

IOM identified 16 households displaced in the previous reporting period, which covered 03 - 09 March 2024, in the governorates of Al Hodeidah (11 HH), Ma’rib (4 HHs), and Ta’iz (1 HH). These figures have been added to the cumulative displacement total recorded since the beginning of the year.

IOM Afghanistan launched the first round of the DTM Baseline Area Assessment B1 in January 2024 as part of its ongoing efforts to collect crucial data on population mobility dynamics, specifically displacement and returns. In particular, the B1 activity seeks to map the presence of mobile population groups, such as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), returnees, and internal migrants, to enable further understanding of conditions, vulnerabilities, and humanitarian needs through targeted data collection and analysis. After implementation of the B1, a subsequent assessment, the Baseline Village Assessment B2, will target all locations that report presence of mobile population groups to verify the results of the B1 and collect more granular information on reasons for mobility, shelter types, and places of origin. 

The following report covers data collected for the B1 in January and February 2024, during which the IOM DTM Afghanistan team was able to completely cover two thirds (23 out of 34) of the provinces in the country. Further data collection to cover the remaining provinces is anticipated in the coming days. For a provisional look at baseline mobility figures for all 34 provinces, see the annex on pages 9 and 10, which combines the current B1 data with data collected during previous DTM activities.

Since 29 February 2024, several neighborhoods in the Metropolitan Area of Port-au-Prince (MAPAP), the capital of Haiti, have been targeted by increased armed attacks. Nearly 15,000 people were displaced following these attacks (see ETT 39.1). In addition to creating displacement within the MAPAP, attacks and generalized insecurity are pushing more and more people to leave the capital to find refuge in provinces, taking the risks of passing through gangs-controlled routes. In order to monitor these movements towards provinces and inform appropriate response strategies, DTM has launched data collection at several of the most used bus stations in the capital (see page 5 for more details on the methodology). Since the start of this activity, on 8 March, until 14 March, this activity allowed to observe the movements of 16,947 people leaving the MAPAP (see pages 3 and 4 for more details on the profile of these people ). The majority of them (60%) took means of transport heading towards the Grand Sud departments (Grande’Anse, South, Nippes and South-East). It should be noted that this region already hosts more than 116,000 people who had in vast majority, fled the MAPAP in recent months (see the report on displacement in the Grand Sud).

Individual interviews with a sample indicated that 83% of people left the MAPAP because of violence and insecurity. 76% were already internally displaced before leaving the MAPAP. 96% intend to stay in the provinces in Haiti, 3% to leave for the Dominican Republic and less than 1% for the United States and Brazil.

Depuis le 29 février 2024, plusieurs quartiers de la Zone Métropolitaine de Port-au-Prince (ZMPP), la capitale d’Haïti, sont ciblés par des attaques armées accrues. Près de 15 000 personnes se sont déplacées suite à ces attaques (voir le ETT 39.1). En plus de créer des déplacements à l’intérieur de la ZMPP, ces attaques poussent de plus en plus de personnes à quitter la capitale pour trouver refuge dans les provinces, en prenant les risques de passer par des routes contrôlées par des gangs. Afin de suivre ces mouvements vers les provinces et informer les stratégies de réponse adéquates, la DTM a lancé des collectes de données au niveau de plusieurs stations de bus les plus utilisées dans la capitale (voir la page 4 pour plus de détails sur la méthodologie). Depuis le début de cette activité, le 08 mars, jusqu’au 14 mars, cette activité a permis d’observer les mouvements de16 947 personnes quittant la ZMPP (voir les pages 3 et 4 pour plus de détails sur le profil de ces personnes). Ces personnes ont en majorité (60%) pris des moyens de transport se dirigeant vers les départements du Grand Sud (Grande’Anse, Sud, Nippes et Sud-Est). Il est à souligner que cette région accueille déjà plus 116 000 personnes qui avaient en grande partie fui la ZMPP durant des mois passés (voir le rapport sur les déplacements dans le Grand Sud).

Les interviews individuelles avec un échantillon ont indiqué que 83% des personnes quittaient la ZMPP à cause des violences et l'insécurité. 76% étaient déjà déplacées internes avant de quitter la ZMPP. 96% ont l'intention de rester dans les provinces en Haïti, 3% de partir vers la République Dominicaine et moins de 1% vers les Etats-Unis et le Brésil

To continually inform humanitarian responses in the MAPAP sites, the CCCM cluster and DTM conduct weekly data collections in these sites to update information on the displacement situation in the sites.

This report presents the situation as of 15 March 2024. A total of 84 sites are active in the MAPAP hosting 86,040 IDPs, this represents 12% less compared to the previous week.
