La région du Sahel central, et plus particulièrement la zone du Liptako Gourma, qui enjambe le Burkina Faso, le Mali et le Niger, est témoin d’une crise complexe qui comprend comme enjeux une compétition grandissante pour le contrôle de ressources; des bouleversements climatiques; une croissance démographique galopante; des niveaux élevés de pauvreté; l’absence d’opportunités économiques et un sentiment de désillusions quant au futur; des tensions communautaires; l’absence de présence étatique et le manque de services sociaux de base; et des violences provoquées par des réseaux de crime organisé et des groups armés non étatiques. La crise a engendré, en 2021, la mort de 5 000 personnes 2020 (au 31 décembre) et conduit à des déplacements de populations significatifs dans les quatre pays touches par la crise. Au 28 fév. 2022, 2 058 769 individus étaient déplacés par la crise, y compris 2 058 769 Personnes déplacées internes (92% de la population affectée) et 185 892 réfugiés (8%). Soixante-et-onze pour cent de la population déplacée (1 604 536 personnes) se trouvaient au Burkina Faso, 16 pour cent au Mali (369 509), 9 pour cent au Niger (197 800) et 3 pour cent en Mauritanie (72 816).

On 02 March 2022, a fire outbreak was reported at Muna El Badawy Camp in Jere LGA of Borno State. This is only two weeks since the last incident. The fire damaged and destroyed shelters and belongings of numerous IDP households.

The fire incident fully destroyed 206 temporary shelters, affecting a total of 1,034 individuals in 197 households. The affected individuals included 536 children, 269 women and 229 men.

Round 6 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 in the geopolitical zones north-central and north-west 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 2021 and reflects trends from the states Benue, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Nasarawa, Plateau, Sokoto and Zamfara.

The first assessment was conducted in July 2020, four months after the first case of COVID-19 was reported in Nigeria. In this report, the results are presented from the 6th round of DTM assessments. The assessments were conducted in 1,654 locations – which is a decrease by 10 locations compared to the 5th round when 1,664 locations were covered. These sites included 97 camps and camp-like settings and 1,557 locations where IDPs were residing among host communities, representing a total of 969,757 IDPs in 157,519 households. The state with the highest number of locations assessed was Katsina State with a total of 297 locations (18%), followed by Kaduna with 262 locations (16%) and Benue with 235 locations (14%). In contrast to Round 5, Zamfara and not Sokoto was the state where the least number of locations were assessed with 126 sites (8%).

As in other similar assessments, staff from IOM, NEMA, SEMAs and the Nigerian Red Cross Society collated the data in the field, including baseline information at Local Government Area and ward-levels. 

A total of 95,369 respondents – or 10% of the total IDP population in north-central and north-west Nigeria were interviewed on 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.

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 26 February - 04 March 2022, 344 movements were observed at three Points of Entry in Borno state. Of the total movements recorded, 129 were incoming movements. The incoming movements included 116 persons from the Far North Region in Cameroon, 4 persons from Ndjamena in the republic of Chad, and 9 persons from Bol in the Republic of Chad.
Additionally, a total of 215 outgoing movements were recorded from Borno State towards the Far North Region of Cameroon.

Le rapport de cartographie des mobilites en Afrique de l'Ouest et du Centre presente les tendances de mobilites et facteurs de migration au sein de la region de l'Afrique de l'Ouest et du Centre (deplacements forces, transhumance, migration de main d'oeuvre, etc), soulignant la diversite et la complexite des mobilites dans la region. Le rapport se base sur les donnees recoltees au travers des outils de collecte de donnees de l'OIM et de donnes de partenaires tels que UNDESA, le HCR et les Ministeres de l'interieur.
