Haiti — Factsheet on the displacement situation in Artibonite — Round 2 (12 — 19 June 2023)

In recent years, widespread insecurity in Haiti has led to massive population displacements in several districts of the country, including Artibonite. Although violence is more frequent in the Metropolitan Area of Port-auPrince (MAPAP), other districts are also affected, with 87% of population displacements in Artibonite due to attacks and violence. To regularly monitor the displacement situation in this district, the General Directorate of Civil Protection (DGPC) and the IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) launched in April 2023 periodic assessments of municipality sections and sites hosting displaced populations (Round 1). Data is collected through interviews with key informants in areas hosting displaced populations, as well as through direct observation. This dashboard presents the key results of the second exercise of these assessments (Round 2) conducted from 12 to 19 June 2023 in all 63 municipality sections of Artibonite. A total of 22,440 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) have been identified (6,352 households), more than half of whom are children (57%). Among IDPs, 7 per cent are hosted in seven spontaneous sites located in the municipalities of Gros Morne, Saint-Marc, Petite Rivière de l'Artibonite and Verettes, while the rest (93%) are hosted in host communities. In addition, 9,186 returnees, formerly IDPs, were identified in the district
