Round 8 of DTM data collection in Nigeria’s north-west and north-central geo-political zones were conducted between 27
August and 11 September. During the assessments, DTM deployed teams of enumerators to conduct assessments in 871 wards
(up from the 828 wards that were assessed in Round 7 of DTM assessments, located in 178 LGAs (up from 174 LGAs in Round
7). Eight States were covered, including Benue, Nasarawa and Plateau (north-central) and Kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, Katsina and
Zamfara (north-west).
DTM enumerators conducted assessments in 1,664 locations (an increase of 60 locations compared to Round 7), including 1,563
(94%) locations where IDPs were residing among host communities and 101 (6%) locations categorized as camps/camp-like
settings. In Round 7 of assessments, 1,513 locations where IDPs lived among host communities and 91 camps/camp-like settings were assessed. During these assessments, data was collected on numbers, living conditions and multisectoral needs of displaced populations.
DTM activities in Nigeria’s north-central and north-west zones targeted IDPs and aimed to gain a better understanding of
displacement numbers and trends, living conditions of the affected populations and the needs and vulnerabilities of these
populations. The population categories are defined in this report as follows:
• An Internally Displaced Person (IDP) is “a person who has been forced or obliged to flee or to leave his or her home or place
of habitual residence, in particular as a result of, or in order to avoid the effects of armed conflict, situations of generalized
violence, violations of human rights or natural or human-made disasters, and who has not crossed an internationally
recognized State border.”

La pandémie de COVID-19 a eu des conséquences majeures sur la mobilité dans le monde. Au-delà des fortes perturbations de la mobilité, de nombreux gouvernements ont imposé des mesures limitants ou interdisant les mouvements de personnes dans le but d'endiguer la propagation du virus. Ainsi, dès le 15 mars 2020, le gouvernement de la République Islamique de Mauritanie a progressivement mis en place des mesures limitant les déplacements dans le pays mais surtout ,les mouvements vers et depuis d'autres pays(fermetures des frontières) pour contenir la propagation de la pandémie. Ces mesures, comme un couvre-feu et des restrictions des voyage, ont été graduellement levées à partir de levées à partir de juillet 2020, décembre 2020 avant d’être remises en place à partir de mars 2021. La dernière mesure a été prise en janvier 2022 avec une reprise de l’interdiction des rassemblements due à la découverte du variant Omicron.
Afin de fournir des informations fiables, l’OIM a développé un outil de collecte de données permettant de cartographier l'emplacement des principaux points d'entrée (PdE) dans le pays, de recueillir des données sur leur statut opérationnel et d'identifier les mesures et les restrictions imposées à ces points. Cet outil utilise la méthodologie de suivi des populations mobiles (DTM) de l’Organisation internationale pour le migrations (OIM). Les évaluations ont pour but d'aider les autorités nationales, les agences des Nations Unies, les organisations et autres parties prenantes clés à identifier et à développer des interventions adéquates de préparation et de réponse à la pandémie au niveau des PdE. Ce rapport quadrimestriel présente des informations sur le statut opérationnel, les mobilités transfrontalières et les mesures préventives mises en place dans 28 PdE à travers le pays.

- Points of Entry (PoE)
The outbreak of COVID-19 has affected global mobility through various travel disruptions and restrictions. To better understand how the pandemic affects global mobility, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has developed an online tool and database to register points of entry (POE), exit and transit, where mobility restrictions and response measures are in place. To support these efforts, the Displacement Tracking Matrix Regional Evidence for Migration Analysis and Policy (DTM REMAP) team in Pakistan mapped and gathered data on the current statuses of POEs in the country.
Between November and December 2021, the DTM REMAP team in Pakistan monitored 171 POEs. These included nine airports, six land borders and two blue borders. The status of various POEs changed significantly between November and December 2021 due to a decrease in COVID-19 cases, changes to the security situation and fluctuations in national and international mobility restrictions. At the end of December, thirteen POEs were fully operational, three were partially operational and one was fully closed.
The Chaman border was reopened on 2nd November 2021 after being closed for almost a month and remained fully operation during the rest of reporting period. Khunjerab border remained closed due to COVID-19 as well as its winter schedule in reporting period. Authorities in Iran have closed all land borders (including Taftan) as part of the nation’s efforts to combat the Omicron variant of COVID-19. The Kartarpur Corridor was reopened on 19th November 2021 after being closed for a long time due to COVID restrictions. CAA issued revised guidelines for inbound travel abolishing Category B&C country list effective from 5th Jan 2022, vaccination, or proof of vaccination (15 & above age) along with negative COVID test for pre-departure (above 6 years). The inbound travelers (above 6 years) will be tested through Rapid Antigen Testing on selective percentage of travelers and origin of their country. On 24th December another guideline issue by CAA that Pakistani passenger abroad will be allowed to enter Pakistan from category-C without exemption certificate till 10th of January, 2022.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic at the beginning of 2020 has affected global and regional mobility, including mobility in Bangladesh, through various travel disruptions and restrictions. To better understand how the pandemic affects global mobility, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) developed an online tool and database to register points of entry, exit and transit - such as airports and land and blue border crossing points - where mobility restrictions and preparedness and response measures are in place. To support these efforts, over a period of 22 months, the Displacement Tracking Matrix Regional Evidence for Migration Analysis and Policy (DTM REMAP) team in Bangladesh mapped and gathered data on the locations, statuses and restrictions at Points of Entry (PoE) in the country. The information gathered allows more in-depth analysis to uncover specific trends related to the locations, statuses and restrictions of PoEs in Bangladesh.
In December 2021, the DTM REMAP team in Bangladesh assessed 23 PoEs. The most common type of PoE reported was land borders (12), followed by airports (8) and blue borders (3). Internal transit points are not taken into account for analysis in this snapshot. During the PoE reporting period, the number of assessed PoEs in Bangladesh increased from 19 to 231 PoEs. The status of the PoEs changed notably. None of the PoEs were fully operational at the beginning of the assessment. However, by December 2021, 19 PoEs were fully operational, one was partially operational, three were fully closed.
