From January to December 2022, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) conducted a total of 43,886 (7,052 households) registrations – 100% of which were of internally displaced persons (IDPs). No new registration activities of returnees were conducted during this year. In total, DTM Sudan completed six registration exercises across Central Darfur, South Darfur, South Kordofan, and North Kordofan.

Additionally, through its flow-monitoring registry (FMR) component, DTM Sudan registered a total number of 1,880 individuals (466 households) having entered Sudan via Abyei PCA in 2022. Finally, DTM Sudan recorded a total of 3,422 Sudanese nationals returning from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) in 2022.

IOM works with national and local authorities in order to gain a better understanding of population movements throughout Southern Africa. Through the setup of Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs), IOM seeks to quantify migration flows, trends and routes and to gain a better understanding of the profiles of observed individuals at entry, transit or exit points (such as border crossing posts, bus stations, rest areas, police checkpoints and reception centres). This report is an overview of the data collected in these FMPs from 1 to 28 February 2023.

Inter-regional migration from and within the Southern Africa is categorized along the following corridors. The Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) were set-up in several key transit locations along the corridors to track the movements of passengers: 

•Zimbabwe (Mutare) – Mozambique (Manica)

•Zimbabwe (Chirundu) – Zambia

•Zimbabwe – Botswana (Plumtree)

•Zimbabwe – South Africa (Beitbridge)

•Malawi (Mwanza) – Mozambique (Zobue) 

•Malawi (Mangochi) – Mozambique

•Mozambique (Ressano Garcia) – South Africa

Over the reporting period a total of 56,178 movements were observed across 42 FMPs in the region. The Zimbabwe – South Africa corridor hosted the largest number of movements with 32,902 (59%) followed by the Malawi (Mwanza) – Mozambique (Zobue) corridor with 6,732 (12%) and the Zimbabwe (Chirundu) – Zambia corridor with 5,628 (10%) movements reported.

This document is a compilation of data collected by IOM from Frontex as well as the Italian, Spanish, Greek and Maltese interior ministries on migratory movements from Africa to Europe between 2017 and 2022.

IOM works closely with a wide range of actors, including government and non-government partners, to collect and compile this data on a quarterly basis. This document presents the situation of migrant arrivals in Europe based on data for 2021 from the point of view of movements from West and Central Africa (WCA).

Data for 2022 covers the period up to December 31, 2022 (January - December 2022). These data will be regularly updated in future publications and is available on https://dtm.iom.int/europe/arrivals?type=arrivals and https://missingmigrants.iom.int/. Some data on nationalities are only partially available.

IOM Yemen DTM’s Rapid Displacement Tracking (RDT) tool collects data on estimated numbers of households forced to flee on a daily basis from their locations of origin or displacement, allowing for regular reporting of new displacements in terms of estimated numbers, geography, and needs. It also tracks returnees who returned to their location of origin.

From 1 January to 25 March 2023, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 2,030 households (HH) (12,180 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 19 and 25 March 2023, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 235 households (1,410 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Ma’rib (227 HHs) – Harib (213 HHs), Ma’rib City (14 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate were internal.
• Al Hodeidah (6 HHs) – Al Khukhah (6 HHs) district. All displacements in the governorate were internal.
• Ta’iz (2 HHs) – Jabal Habashi (2 HHs) district. All displacements in the governorate were internal.

The majority of people moved from the following governorates and districts:

• Ma’rib (217 HHs) – Harib (216 HHs), Al Abdiyah (1 HH) districts.
• Al Hodeidah (9 HHs) – Hays (3 HHs), At Tuhayta (3 HHs), Bajil (1 HH) districts.
• Ta’iz (3 HHs) – Maqbanah (2 HHs), Al Misrakh (1 HH) districts.

Mozambique’s National Institute for Disaster Management (INGD) estimates 886,487 were affected by the second landfall of Tropical Storm Freddy - directly impacting communities of Zambezia, Sofala and Tete. As of 10 March, INGD have identified at approximately 240,000 people already affected by the first landfall of Tropical Storm Freddy (24 February) as well as recent floods recorded in central and southern Mozambique. As of 26 March 2023, available reports indicate 29,650 individuals (6,952 families) in 45 ACs across Zambezia, 26,163 individuals (5,794 families) have taken shelter in 32 accommodation centres (ACs) across Sofala, 59,594 individuals (12,020 families) in 32 ACs across Tete, 3,634 individuals (792 families) in 15 ACs across Inhambane and 4,639 individuals (947 families) in 14 ACs in Niassa. The majority of these centres are schools and churches. Reported priority needs include WASH, protection, health, food and emergency shelters. As rain and flood events develop, ongoing joint assessments with INGD and humanitarian partners monitor the needs and conditions of affected populations in the region. While movements remain dynamic in Zambezia and Inhambane impacted districts, accomadation Centres out of the reported 45 and 15 Accomadation Centres require further validation.
