IOM Pakistan collects data on the outflows of undocumented Afghan migrants at the Torkham and Chaman border crossing points in an effort to better understand the migration movements of undocumented Afghan migrants returning to Afghanistan from Pakistan. This exercise is part of the European Union funded project “Displacement Tracking Matrix Regional Evidence for Migration Analysis and Policy (DTM REMAP)”.

From 15 January to 28 January 2022, 2,488 undocumented Afghan migrants returned to Afghanistan, including 269 through the Torkham border point and 2,219 through the Chaman border point. During the reporting period, border authorities facilitated the return of 101 individuals due to the lack of legal documentation to remain in Pakistan. Therefore, information concerning these 101 individuals is not included in the report analysis.

Initial attacks in Meluco district by Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs) were reported on 4 January 2022. Recent attacks in Muaguide posto - (Mitemba, Sitate, and Iba) triggered the movements of 6,005 individuals between 28 January - 2 February 2022. The arrival of displaced populations from Meluco within this reporting period have been mapped in Ancuabe (2,031 individuals), Metuge (1,056 individuals), Montepuez (1,215 individuals), Pemba (1,149 individuals), Chiure (547 Individuals), and Mecu­ (7 individuals). ETT Teams deployed at strategic observation points across host communities and sites have cumulatively observed at least 9,381 individuals/2,659 households arriving from Meluco across southern districts of Northern Mozambique (4 January - 1 February).

During the reporting period (26 January to 1st February 2022), a total of 54 movements were recorded - 49 Arrivals (5,506 individuals), and 5 departures (306 individuals). The largest arrival movements were recorded in Ancuabe (2,093 individuals), Montepuez (1,158 individuals), Cidade de Pemba (667 individuals), Chiure (547 individuals), Nangade (457 individuals), Metuge (369 individuals) and Mueda (206 individuals). The largest departure was observed in Montepuez (265 individuals). Of the total population captured by the ETT, 90 per cent were displaced for the first time, and 10 per cent of reported IDPs had been displaced more than once prior to this latest movement.

Following these events, rapid assessments were conducted by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in collaboration with the National Institute for Disaster Management and Risk Reduction (INGD), from the 25 January 2022. Rapid assessments are still ongoing with a focus on understanding the extent of initial displacements across accommodation centers and hosting communities as well as damages to houses and facilities across all affected localities in Tete, Niassa, Sofala, Nampula and Zambezia Provinces.

As a result of the impact of Tropical Storm Ana, an estimate of 42,800 families had their houses completely/partially destroyed in the districts assessed so far. Of these 80% are in Nampula (34,244 houses), 15% in Zambezia (6,488 houses), 2% in Tete (812 houses) and 3% in Sofala (1,256). In addition, 21 tents and 16 emergency shelters were completely or partially destroyed due to the rain and strong winds.

IOM/INGD identified 409 latrines and 8 water points damaged. Moreover, localities assessed so far identified at least 98 schools reporting partial and major damaged. Affected schools are in Nampula (62), Zambezia (29), Sofala (7) provinces. A total of 259 classrooms were completely or partially damaged in the affected schools.

In assessed locations, 16 health centres were also completely/partially damaged in Nampula (14) and Zambezia (2)

IOM Afghanistan identified 93,631 internally displaced persons (IDPs) who were displaced to or arrived in Kabul province since August 2021 during Round 3 of the Emergency Event Tracking (EET) exercise. Most IDPs arrived in urban communities (82%), while the remaining are displaced in rural (14%) and peri-urban (3%) communities throughout Kabul province.

From 1 to 19 December 2021, DTM teams conducted Round 31 of the EET to capture movement dynamics in Afghanistan following episodes of drought and rapid political transformations that occurred in 2021. During Round 3, DTM teams assessed 550 communities in 15 districts in Kabul province. The data presented in the report is a snapshot of the current displacement situation from the above-mentioned observation period and provides the latest and best available information from EET sources up until 19 December 2021.

IOM Afghanistan identified 48,938 internally displaced persons (IDPs) who were displaced to or arrived in Herat province since August 2021 during Round 3 of the Emergency Event Tracking (EET) exercise. Two-thirds of IDPs arrived in rural communities (68%), while the remaining are displaced in peri-urban (26%) and urban (7%) communities throughout Herat province.

From December 1 to 19, 2021 DTM teams conducted Round 3 of the EET to capture movement dynamics in Afghanistan following episodes of drought and rapid political transformations that occurred in 2021. During Round 3, DTM teams assessed 584 communities in 16 districts in Herat province. The data presented in the report is a snapshot of the current displacement situation from the above-mentioned observation period and provides the latest and best available information from EET sources up until 19 December 2021.

Afin de mieux comprendre les tendances des mouvements transhumants et l’impact des fragilités sur les communautés transhumantes, l’OIM, au travers de sa Matrice de suivi des déplacements (DTM), a déployé depuis juin 2019 l’outil de suivi de la transhumance (Transhumance Tracking Tool – TTT) avec le Réseau Bilital Maroobe (RBM) et ses antennes d’organisations d’éleveurs pour faire le suivi des mouvements de transhumants au Burkina Faso. 

Le TTT permet de comprendre les dynamiques liées à la transhumance transfrontalière entre le Burkina Faso, le Niger et le Mali. Il combine trois composantes : la cartographie, le comptage et l’alerte.

Le système d’alerte a pour objectif de recenser les évènements liés à l’utilisation des ressources naturelles, aux pratiques agro-pastorales, ainsi qu’aux désastres naturels dans la région transfrontalière des pays du Liptako-Gourma, de comprendre les modes de résolution de conflits existants et d’informer les autorités compétentes afin de réduire les tensions dans les communes d’intervention. Ce système permet de recenser les alertes liées à un évènement conflictuel (alerte évènement) ou à un mouvement massif ou inattendu de bétail (alerte prévention) qui pourrait provoquer un conflit. Ce rapport présente les données de l’outil d’alerte pour le mois de novembre 2021.
