About Iraq

Reinforced in January 2014 in response to the need for information on displacement linked to the worsening armed conflict, the DTM programme in Iraq collects key information on internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees through different components and methodologies across the entire country.

Through IOM's Rapid Assessment and Response Teams (RARTs) -composed of 140 field staff- present throughout the Iraqi territory, the DTM collects data on numbers and locations of IDPs and returnees using an extended network of over 4,000 key informants. In addition to information collected from key informants, identified locations hosting IDPs are then visited and directly assessed by the RARTs to collect more detailed and in-depth information on the displaced population.

Mobility Impact due to COVID-19 in Iraq

The content presented on this portal is for informative purposes only. All information is being constantly validated including geo-location and attributes. As the situation is changing rapidly, we aren’t able to ensure up to date accuracy of some of the information, while it is correct to the best of our knowledge at the time of uploading. The scale of the data operation also doesn’t enable us yet to ensure that there aren’t some errors. The timeliness of these updates depends on the timeframe within which the information becomes available and is processed by IOM. We encourage anybody with more accurate/updated information to contact DTM Covid-19 Coordination Team at: dtmcovid19@iom.int. For more check the Terms & Conditions Sections.

The current outbreak of COVID-19 has affected global mobility in the form of various travel disruptions, restrictions and blockages. To better understand how COVID-19 affects global mobility, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has been working to map the impacts on human mobility, at Global, Regional and Country level. Subsequently, the IOM have initiated the following activities:

COVID-19 Travel Restriction Monitoring - Using secondary data sources, such as the International Air Transport Association (IATA), media reports and information direct from IOM missions, this platform maps and analyzes the various country, territories and areas imposing restrictions, and those with restrictions being imposed upon them, all categorized by restriction type. All analyses is presented at country level.

COVID-19 Country Points of Entry (PoE) Status Baseline Assessment – Using direct input from IOM missions, this dashboard displays daily updated mobility restrictions at location level (airport, land border points, blue border points, internal transit points). For each point of entry, data is collected on: type of restriction, measured applied & timeframe, population category that might be affected from the measures. This data is displayed in the Point of Entry layers on this map.
