La pandémie de COVID-19 a eu un impact faible en Mauritanie. Au 9 décembre 2021, il y seuls 39 669 cas de COVID-19 étaient confirmés, dont 844 décès, tandis que 1 795 467 doses de vaccin avaient été administrées. Pour répondre à la pandémie et lutter contre sa propagation, le gouvernement de Mauritanie a néanmoins mis en œuvre un certain nombre de mesures strictes, dont des restrictions de mobilité et des campagnes d’information et sensibilisation.

Dans le cadre de ses activités de suivi des mouvements de transhumance (TTT), l’Organisation internationale pour les migrations (OIM) en Mauritanie en collaboration avec le Groupement National des Associations Pastorales (GNAP) met en place des activités de suivi des flux des troupeaux et personnes. Pour analyser le niveau de compréhension et de sensibilisation sur le COVID-19, des indicateurs additionnels ont été inclus dans le cadre des activités TTT pour analyser le niveau de compréhension et de sensibilisation des éleveurs transhumants sur le COVID-19. Suite à ces questions, les énumérateurs, formés par l’OIM et GNAP, utilisant les brochures du Ministère de la Santé, ont sensibilisé les individus interrogés sur la maladie et les moyens de limiter la contamination. Les données présentées sur cette page ont été recueillies lors d’enquêtes conduites dans les régions de Brakna, Gorgol, Hodh El-Chargui, Hodh El-Gharbi, Tagant et Trarza auprès des 514 transhumants entre le 6 octobre et le 4 novembre 2021

This fourteenth DTM Baseline Assessment Report aims to improve the understanding of internal displacement trends and displaced populations’ needs in Cabo Delgado, Inhambane, Niassa, Nampula, Zambezia and Sofala provinces. The DTM has focal points and enumerators in 277 localities of the Cabo Delgado province and collects data in close coordination with the Government. This 14th round of assessment also covered neighbouring provinces of Inhambane (2 localities, down from 6 reported in the previous round; the decrease was attributed to relocation) Nampula (53 localities), Niassa (14 localities), as well as the provinces of Zambezia (6 localities), and Sofala (2 localities). Security and access restraints in Mocimboa da Praia, Muidumbe and Palma districts have limited data collection resulting in no updated estimates recorded by DTM ­eld teams and focal points. For this round, 14 out of the 17 districts in Cabo Delgado were covered.

This report presents the findings of data collected during the months of April to November 2021 and covering 53 municipalities (baladiya) of Libya with significant IDP and migrant populations. This assessment was carried out through 445 Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) conducted at municipality (baladiya) and community (muhalla) levels. 

This report aims to shed light on the impact of the pandemic on vulnerable mobile populations, including on livelihoods, access to healthcare and market prices as well as access to COVID-19 vaccines and willingness to get vaccinated. As such, these findings aim to provide a better understanding of the situation and needs of migrants, IDPs, and host communities in Libya and how they have evolved over the past eight months.

Nigeria's North Central and North West Zones are afflicted with a multidimensional crisis that is rooted in long-standing tensions between ethnic and religious groups and involves attacks by criminal groups and banditry/hirabah (such as kidnapping and grand larceny along major highways).

has resulted in widespread displacement across the region.

Following this event, a rapid assessment was conducted by DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) field staff with the purpose of informing the humanitarian community and government partners, and enable targeted response. Flash reports utilise direct
observation and a broad network of key informants to gather representative data and collect information on the number, profile and immediate needs of affected populations.

From 27 July— 4 October 2021, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) deployed its Emergency Site Assessment (ESA) to capture internal displacement related to the Northern Ethiopia Crisis. This multisectoral location assessment assesses the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and collects basic information on the multisectoral needs of IDPs at site level.

By this eighth round, DTM’s 4,061 key informants reported that 2,114,653 IDPs (453,263 households) were displaced across 695 sites in Tigray, Amhara and Afar regions thus far. 1,814,284 IDPs (386,741 households) were reported in Tigray region, 151,040 IDPs (38,740 households) in Amhara region and 149,329 IDPs (27,782 households) in Afar region. While the level of access improved significantly within Tigray region this round, a lack of access and insecurity still posed challenges in the Western and Southern zones in Tigray region, Wag Hamra and North Wello zones in Amhara region, and Zone 4 in Afar region during the time of data collection.
