Previous IOM studies have found that a combination of complex factors, including land degradation and climate change, are altering traditional migration patterns in Mongolia. Increased frequency of droughts and dzuds, insufficient job opportunities, inadequate living conditions, and rural populations' livestock dependency has directly and reinforced increased levels of migration to urban areas and other aimags.

Understanding the nature of these migration patterns has been hindered by discrepancies between census data, registration data, and the reality of people living in and migrating between different locations across Mongolia.

As the drought continues to worsen with displacement increasing in Somalia, DTM is piloting an Emergency Trend Tracking (ETT) tool in Gedo region to monitor displacement trends and hotspots in support of operational planning.

The Transhumance Tracking Tool (TTT) Early Warning System, as a component of the IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), with support from community focal points and key informants, collects information on alerts relating to transhumance activities and movements in Adamawa state. This report presents TTT Early Warning data collected in July 2022 in five LGAs of Adamawa State (Demsa, Girei, Lamurde, Numan and Mayo-Belwa). During this period, 290 alerts were recorded, including 247 events (85%) and 43 movements (15%). Events alerts have conflict, clashes, kidnapping for ransom, cattle rustling, robberies etc. The most significant number of alerts occurred in Lamurde LGA (26%), followed by Demsa LGA (24%), Girei LGA (19%), Numan LGA (17%) and Mayo-Belwa LGA (14%). Disaggregated data at the ward level suggested that Kodompti ward in Numan LGA and Gereng ward in Girei LGA recorded high numbers of alerts in July 2022 (each ward at 10% of all alerts respectively).

During the assessment period, some conflict-prone potential risk areas were identified. Demsa, Fufore, Ganye, Girei, Gombi, Guyuk, Hong, Jada, Madagali, Maiha, Mayo-Belwa, Numan Shelleng, Song, Toungo and Yola South LGAs. These potential risk areas are identified through monitoring transhumance movements and the TTT early warning platform.

The DTM Emergency Event Tracking (EET) is deployed to track sudden displacement and population movements, provide more frequent updates on the scale of displacement, and quantify the affected population when needed. As a subcomponent of the new Mobility Tracking methodology in Sudan (Round Four), and activated on a need basis, EET utilises a broad network of key informants to capture best estimates of the affected population presence per location – a useful tool for humanitarian response planning and design.

In July 2022, a total of 24,297 movements were observed across five of Ethiopia's flow monitoring points (FMPs). This represents a 2% decrease in daily average movements in comparison with June 2022 when an average of 802 movements per day were observed.

Outgoing movements during July have continued to be higher (84.1%) than incoming movements (15.9%). A total of 20,429 outgoing movements were observed of which 10,317 (50.5%) were heading towards Saudi Arabia, 3,041 (14.9%) were going to Djibouti, 1,812 (8.9%) were travelling towards Kenya, 1,642 (8%) to Somalia, 889 (4.4%) intended to reach Yemen, 563 (2.8%) headed to the United Arab Emirates, and 482 (2.4%) to South Africa while remaining movements were travelling to several Middle Eastern, European and North American countries.

At the same time, 3,868 incoming movements were observed, of which 1,261 (32.6%) originated from Djibouti, while 949 (24.5%) came from Kenya, 806 (20.8%) from Somalia, 684 (17.7%) movements from Sudan, 152 (3.9%) from Yemen and the remaining from United Republic of Tanzania and South Sudan. Almost all of these were Ethiopian nationals who were likely returning home.

The DTM Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) is deployed to track and to collect information on large and sudden population movements, provide frequent updates on the scale of displacement and quantify the affected population when needed. As a sub-component of the Mobility Tracking methodology in Nigeria, ETT utilises direct observation and a broad network of key informants to capture best estimates of the affected population per location, enabling targeted humanitarian response planning.

Between 22 and 28 August 2022, a total of 2,890 new arrivals were recorded in locations in Adamawa and Borno States. The new arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Dikwa, Damboa, Gwoza, Kala Balge, Monguno and Ngala Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the most conflict-affected state of Borno and in Fufore, Girei, Gombi, Hong, Lamurde, Maiha, Michika, Mubi South and Song LGAs of Adamawa State.
