Oct 24 2023
- Mobility Tracking
- Baseline Assessment
Round 12 of DTM data collection in Nigeria’s north-west and north-central regions was conducted between 13 September and 24 October 2023. During the activity, DTM deployed teams of enumerators to conduct assessments in 826 wards (down from the 881 wards assessed in Round 11 of DTM assessments), located in 172 LGAs (down from 180 LGAs in Round 11). Eight states were covered: Benue, Nasarawa and Plateau (north-central) and Kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, Katsina and Zamfara (north-west).
DTM enumerators conducted assessments in 1,637 locations (a decrease of 121 locations compared to Round 11), including 1,549 (95%) locations where IDPs were residing among host communities and 88 (5%) locations categorized as camps/camp-like settings. The reason for the decrease owed to the inaccessibility of some locations caused by security. During these assessments, data was collected on population demographics, living conditions and multisectoral needs of displaced populations.
