Mozambique — Mozambique — Mobility Tracking Assessment (Districts Profiles, South and Central Mozambique) Round 21 (July 2024)

This summary presents findings of Mobility Tracking Assessments round 21 (previously known as Baseline Assessments) conducted across Central and Southern Mozambique through key-informant and group interviews at location level between May and June 2024. Mobility Tracking assessments provides a geographical overview of demographic and mobility profiles of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees across Mozambique. During this round, IOM DTM mapped a total of 28,116 households hosting 139,333 IDPs in 107 locations. Ninety eight per cent of the IDPs were identified in 93 displacement sites whilst two per cent are living in host communities. The period of displacement being considered spans from 2017 to 2024 and 99 per cent of the displacements were due to climatic conditions. Sofala hosts 64 per cent of the overall IDP figure followed by Manica (20%). Comparing to the previous round, there is a 10 per cent increase in the number of IDPs in Central attributable to widened coverage and recent drought related displacements in Manica province.
