Since 24 February 2022, over 3 million Ukrainian refugees and third country nationals have entered Poland as a result of war in 
Ukraine. This report is based on displacement patterns, needs and intentions survey launched by IOM's DTM. Surveys are conducted face-to-face by trained enumerators for DTM and World Central Kitchen at border crossing points and reception centres with Ukrainian refugees and TCNs leaving from Ukraine after 24 February 2022. Data is collected and stored through a mobile application. This report presents a preliminary analysis based on the first two weeks of data collection. 

On 11 March, the Protection Cluster released the first estimation of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Ukraine since the military offensive started on 24th February. Estimates were based on a provisional methodology developed in consultation with OCHA, IOM, UNHCR and REACH. In the absence of credible sources of IDP data at that moment, and while the Government’s centralized registration system was not being applied, the Cluster stepped in to ensure that the preliminary estimated scale of internal displacement in Ukraine was brought to the attention of the international community.

This report, which presents the results from Round 40 of Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) assessments carried out by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), aims to improve the understanding of the scope of internal displacement, the plight of returnees and the needs of the displacement affected populations in north-east Nigeria. The report covers the period from 16 November to 30 December 2021 and reflects the trends from the six states in Nigeria’s north-east geopolitical zone.  This zone is the most affected by the conflict and consists of the following states: Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe. In Round 40, a total of 2,171,652 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) were identified in 446,740 households. This signifies a decrease of 1.3 per cent (or 28,705 individuals) compared to Round 39 when 2,200,357 IDPs were recorded (November 2021). The number of IDPs recorded during Round 40 also decreased by 10,961 individuals or less than 1 per cent compared to Round 38 when 2,182,613 IDPs were identified (August 2021). When comparing the number of IDP individuals between Round 40 and Round 36 (February 2021), the number of IDPs in north-east Nigeria has decreased by almost one per cent or 12,602 individuals during the past year.

Furthermore, 1,960,558 returnees were recorded in Round 40 assessments. This number represents an increase of 17,113
individuals or almost one per cent compared to Round 39 when 1,943,445 returnees were recorded (November 2021).

During Round 40, IDP assessments were conducted in 2,371 locations (down from 2,381 locations in Round 39). This report includes analyses of the number of returnees, their displacement profiles, shelter conditions, health, education,
livelihood, market, assistance and WASH facilities available to the returnees. Notably, as Borno is the most displacement-affected state in north-east Nigeria, it concentrates explicitly on the related data and analysis.

In response to the need for accurate and up-to-date information on human mobility and forced displacement in north-east Nigeria, IOM activated its Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) to support the Government and the humanitarian community with multi-layered data on the numbers, trends, status, locations and needs of populations affected by the on-going conflict in north-east Nigeria. Round 40 of assessment was conducted from 16 November and 30 December 2021.

During Round 40, IDP assessments were conducted in 2,371 locations (down from 2,381 locations in Round 39). Assessed
locations included 299 camps and camp-like settlements (a decrease from 309 camps/camp-like settings in Round 39 as a result of the camp closures in the LGAs M.M.C. and Jere in Borno State) and 2,072 locations where internally displaced persons lived among host communities (no change since Round 39). The purpose was to understand better the gaps in services provided and the needs of the affected population. Site assessments included an analysis of sector-wide needs, shelter and non-food items, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), food and nutrition, health, education, livelihood, security, communication and protection.

This dashboard presents key findings from these site assessments. DTM identified 861,113 IDPs living in the 299 assessed sites. Eighty per cent of IDPs were women and children, 67 per cent of IDPs cited tarpaulin as the most needed shelter material, while 44 per cent of IDPs cited blanket/mat as the most needed NFI, 14 per cent of IDPs do not have access to regular medication, and 23 per cent of IDPs do not have access to food support. In 86 per cent of the sites surveyed, IDPs cited food as the main unmet need.

Round 40 of assessment was conducted from 16 November and 30 December 2021.

In Round 40, a total of 2,171,652 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) were identified in 446,740 households. This signified an
increase of less than 1 per cent (or 28,705 individuals) compared to Round 39.

Round 40 of assessment was conducted from 16 November and 30 December 2021.

This dashboard presents the LGAs with the largest changes in IDP number (both increases and decreases) identified during Round 40, as well as factors behind these changes. During Round 40, the LGAs which witnessed the largest increases in IDP numbers were Mafa (increase of 11,894 IDPs) and Moguno (increase of 4,857 IDPs), while the LGAs which witnessed the largest decreases were Maiduguri Metropolitan Council (decrease of 43,212 IDPs) and Jere (decrease of 5,921 IDPs).

Round 40 of assessment was conducted from 16 November and 30 December 2021.

This dashboard provides key figures on the numbers, demographic profile, location and accommodation arrangement of returnees. A total of 1,960,558 returnees were recorded in the DTM Round 40 assessment. including 1,802,160 Former IDP Returnees and 158,398 Returnees from abroad. This represents an increase of 17,113 individuals or 1 per cent compared to Round 39. 

The current outbreak of COVID-19 has affected global mobility in the form of various travel disruptions and restrictions. To better understand how COVID-19 affects global mobility, DTM has developed a COVID-19 database mapping the different restrictions to provide a global overview. For this, DTM uses the IATA site as the primary source of restrictions with the information reported per country and territory, and to the country of application.

Data collected includes:

1. Date of restriction 
2. Country, territory or area of restriction
3. Countries, territories or areas on which restrictions were imposed
4. Type of restriction- total restriction, or conditional restriction – such as medical/ and or visa restriction

This DTM COVID-19 Travel Restrictions Output presents an analysis based on country imposing, the country being imposed upon, and the aggregation of the restriction type. The aim of the data analysis is to provide an overview of the COVID-19 outbreak on global mobility and to help identify and develop responses.
