Bentiu IDP camp was established in December 2013. As of January 2022, 134,946 individuals (30,841 households) are biometrically registered as active beneficiaries in the site, representing an increase by 175 individuals since November following verification of previously inactive beneficiaries. Recognizing that there have been significant population changes since the last overall biometric registration / verification, IOM DTM conducts regular population counts to monitor population dynamics and displacement trends. This exercise shows that the actual number of persons currently living at Bentiu IDP camp remains lower than the registered total.

The crisis currently affecting the Lake Chad Basin states results from a complex combination of factors, including conflict with Non-State Armed Groups, extreme poverty, underdevelopment and a changing climate, which together have triggered significant displacement of populations. As of 28 February 2022, Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria were hosting an estimated 5,546,965 affected individuals made up of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), Refugees (both in- and out-of-camp), Returnees (Former IDPs and Returnees from abroad) and Third Country Nationals (TCNs). 75 per cent of the affected population (representing 4,143,802 individuals) were located in Nigeria, while 12 per cent resided in Cameroon (645,491 individuals), 9 per cent in Chad (524,387 individuals) and 4 per cent in Niger (233,285 individuals).

In November through December 2021, DTM implemented the Community-Based Needs Assessment (CBNA) at the settlement level, as an integral component of DTM's Baseline Mobility Assessment (BMA), providing a comprehensive overview of the evolving, multi-sectoral needs in settlements hosting IDPs and returnees.

In Afghanistan, DTM employs the Baseline Mobility Assessment tool, designed to track mobility, determine the population sizes, locations and geographic distribution of forcibly displaced, return and migrant populations, reasons for displacement, places of origin, and times of displacement, as well as basic demographics, vulnerabilities and priority needs. Data is collected at the settlement level, through community focus group discussions with key informants and direct observations.

As of 31 December 2021, 34 provinces, 401 districts and 13,187 settlements have been assessed, including interviews with 82,923 community focal points. Between 2012 and December 2021, 5,149,245 returned migrants from abroad and 5,832,454 arrival IDPs currently living in host communities were identified.

Between 14 and 20 February 2022, a total of 2,131 movements were recorded in Adamawa and Borno States. The recorded movements consisted of 1,827 arrivals and 304 departures. Arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Gwoza and
Ngala Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the most conflict-affected State of Borno and in Fufore, Girei, Gombi, Hong, Lamurde, Maiha, Michika, Mubi North, Mubi South, Numan, Song, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa State.
Departures were recorded in Askira/Uba and Bama LGAs of Borno, and in Fufore, Gombi, Hong, Maiha, Mubi South, Song and Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa State.

La Matrice de Suivi des Déplacements (Displacement Tracking Matrix – DTM, en anglais) est un outil mis en place par l’Organisation Internationale pour les Migrations (OIM), qui permet de faire le suivi des déplacements et la mobilité des populations. Elle collecte des informations à différents niveaux, les traite et les diffuse afin de garantir aux acteurs humanitaires, aux gouvernements et autres acteurs intéressés, une meilleure compréhension des mouvements et de l’évolution des besoins des populations déplacées : les facteurs d’influence, les moyens et durées de déplacement, les intentions futures des populations déplacées, leurs conditions de vie et encore bien d’autres éléments sont récoltés auprès de ces populations déplacées.

Ce rapport présente les résultats de la dernière enquête sur les intentions de retour menée auprès des ménages déplacés (Personnes Déplacées Internes (PDI) et réfugiés hors camp) en novembre 2021 dans 6 302 localités de la région de l’Extrême-Nord. Il permet ainsi de mieux comprendre le processus de décision des ménages déplacés, les raisons qui les poussent à partir ou les empêchent de revenir et les conditions nécessaires à un retour durable.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), monitors the movements to and from Nigeria's Adamawa and Borno States in north-east Nigeria. Assessments are conducted at Points of Entry located along the border with Cameroon.
During the period 19 - 25 February 2022, 206 movements were observed at three Points of Entry in Borno state. Of the total movements recorded, 66 were incoming from the Far North Region in Cameroon, while 25 were incoming from Bol and 1 from Ndjamena in Chad. One hundred and eleven outgoing movements were recorded from Borno State to the Far North Region in
Cameroon while three outgoing movement were recorded towards Bol in Chad.
A range of data was collected during the assessments to better inform on travellers’ nationalities, sex, reasons for moving, mode of transportation and timeline of movement as shown in figures 1 to 4 below:

This Round 9 of the COVID-19 Situation Analysis is based on the assessment of knowledge, practice and impact of the pandemic on internally displaced persons (IDPs) in conflict-affected communities of northeast Nigeria. Conducted by the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) unit of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the report covers the period between 16 November and 30 December 2022 and reflects trends from the states Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe in north-east Nigeria.
The first assessment was conducted in May 2020, two months after the index case was reported in Nigeria. In this report, the results are presented from the 9th round of assessments. In this Round 9, 122,966 respondents - or 6 per cent of all identified IDPs as per DTM Round 40 - were interviewed for a range of COVID-19 related indicators. Key informant interviews and focus group discussions were the primary methods used for the assessment and the findings were corroborated with physical on-ground observations.
