Crisis Responses
The Central African Republic (CAR), which has experienced continuous volatility for the past two decades, has been riddled by a crisis which ignited in 2012 with a violent takeover of power and has developed into a complex protracted state of permanent insecurity and fragility which has spilled over into neighbouring countries. The crisis is characterized by power struggles amongst elites, the absence of state institutions and public investment, religious and ethnic tensions and disputes for the control of key resources. More recently, the crisis in Sudan, which started in April 2023, is affecting the eastern part of the CAR witnessing arrivals of displaced populations.
As of February 2024, 4,034,959 individuals were affected, including 522,231 internally displaced persons (13% of the displaced population), 2,196,858 returnees former IDPs (54%), 528,521 returnees from abroad (13%) and 787,349 refugees (20%). In the CAR, the largest displaced population consists of former IDP returnees. Refugees from the CAR are primarily hosted by Cameroon (354,523 individuals, or 47% of the refugees), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) (211,846 individuals, or 28% of the refugees) and Chad (133,495 individuals, or 18% of the refugees). Nonetheless, 18,279 refugees from the Central African Republic are still living in Sudan (2% of the refugees). Since the beginning of the Sudan crisis, a total of 41,795 individuals have entered the CAR. Indeed, the country is home for refugees from neighbouring countries, hosting a total of 32,856 refugees coming from Sudan (22,155 individuals), the DRC (6,425 individuals), South Soudan (2,786 individuals) and Chad (1,490 individuals).

Overview
On 15 April 2023, armed clashes erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in multiple cities across Sudan. Clashes initially took place in cities across Northern and Khartoum states, later spreading across the Darfur and Kordofan regions.
Highlights
- DTM Sudan estimates that 6,505,486 individuals (1,299,890 households) were recently internally displaced.
- The IDP caseload was observed in 6,991 locations across all of Sudan’s 18 states.
- The highest proportions of IDPs were observed across South Darfur (11%), River Nile (11%), and East Darfur (10%).
- Field teams reported that the IDPs observed were originally displaced from twelve states. The majority (3,556,673 IDPs, 55%) were reportedly displaced from Khartoum state; followed by South Darfur (15%), North Darfur (9%), Aj Jazirah (8%), Central Darfur (4%), West Darfur (4%), South Kordofan (2%), East Darfur (1%), West Kordofan (1%), North Kordofan (1%), Sennar (<1%) and White Nile (<1%).

In response to recent movements, IOM Afghanistan re-launched its DTM Flow Monitoring activity at the beginning of 2024 to better understand the mobility dynamics at Afghanistan’s borders. On 10 January 2024, DTM began deploying field teams at four border crossing points with the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRN) and Pakistan (PAK), expanding to another border crossing point Ghulam Khan as of 11 February (see map below for the locations of all five crossing points), to conduct two interlinked exercises. The first is a headcount of all individuals entering or leaving Afghanistan (including returnees), also called Flow Monitoring Counting (FMC), to gauge flow volume. The second is a survey of randomly selected Afghan national individuals or groups entering or leaving Afghanistan, also called the Flow Monitoring Survey (FMS), to understand the profiles, motivations, and vulnerabilities of the target population. This snapshot provides key findings combining various IOM data sources, including DTM Afghanistan’s FMC and FMS activities, DTM Pakistan’s Flow Monitoring of Afghan returnees, and IOM Afghanistan’s Cross-Border Post-Arrival Humanitarian Assistance (CB-PAHA) program, for the period 3 to 9 March 2024.

Between 23 September and 19 October 2023, IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) conducted a Village Assessment Survey (VAS) in Wau County, Western Bahr el Ghazal. The Survey aims to support planning for transition and recovery programs by mapping the availability of basic needs, services, and infrastructure. The VAS data collection was successfully completed in five payams (Bagari, Beselia, Kpaile, Wau North, and Wau South) and forty-two bomas within Wau County. However, three bomas including Hai Jadid, Gittan and Rafili wer not assessed due to either being deserted or poor road conditions.

The data collected for the Area Baseline Assessment Round 33 reflects the up-to-date local administrative register of the IDP population as of 29 February 2024, equivalent to a total of 3,413,472 registered IDPs. Registered IDP figures were collected for 1,098 hromadas (83% of all hromadas covered in Ukrainian government-controlled areas), across 108 raions and 23 oblasts. Data disaggregated by age, sex and disability status were provided for around 83 per cent of the administrative units covered.
