Overview
IOM DTM Sudan is pleased to present its first Monthly Displacement Overview. This publication provides an account of Sudan’s displacement context since 15 April 2023 – outlining population caseloads and movements, as well the present and evolving needs of Sudan’s growing IDP caseload.
Rationale
Recognizing the need for more detailed insights into the IDP situation, including the priority needs, access to services, movement intentions, and demographic breakdowns of the affected population, DTM Sudan has undertaken a comprehensive review of our data collection tool. In collaboration with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders, we have developed a new tool to better inform humanitarian response operations, aligning with the DTM global methodology. Leveraging our extensive network of approximately 300 field-based enumerators and a robust system of over 1500 key informants across the country, DTM has gathered data on IDPs across 4,080 locations, in 167 of Sudan’s 189 localities – across all of Sudan’s 18 states.
Key Findings
- DTM Sudan estimates that 4,295,092 Individuals (856,578 Households) have been recently internally displaced.
- IOM DTM also reports that an estimated 1,190,633 mixed cross-border movements have been made into neighbouring countries.
- During the previous month, field teams have reported heavy clashes between RSF and SAF forces in the capital, as well as the state capitals of South Darfur and North Darfur. Additionally, inter-communal conflicts have been observed across West Darfur.
- Since 15 April 2023, 45% of the IDP caseload has sought refuge in the Darfur and Kordofan regions, whereas the majority (55%) are observed across the Northern, Eastern, and Central states.
- Just over two-thirds of the IDP caseload are seeking shelter with the host community.
- While Food Security remains the highest priority need, Health and Non-Food Items are also growing concerns.

The emergency monitoring aims to gather information about significant and sudden population movements, as well as security and climate emergency situations. The information is collected through interviews with key informants and direct observation.
This information was collected following the armed attacks that occurred on September 22, 2023, in Saut D'Eau, in the 2nd communal section of La Selle, and on September 25, 2023, in Mirebalais, in the 4th communal section of Crête Brûlée, in the Center department. These attacks have affected the residents of several municipalities and have led to the creation of eight new sites. Assessments were conducted with key informants over the phone. The results indicate that 10,026 people are internally displaced persons, distributed among 3,135 households. Among them, 915 people are living in sites, corresponding to 252 households.

This report constitutes a complementary analysis to the quantitative reports already published by DTM as part of the fourth phase of site and neighborhood assessments in the MAPAP: Information sheet on the displacement situation in the West Department, Detailed mapping of the displacement situation in the MAPAP.
The quantitative results from Round 4 have demonstrated a trend of IDPs leaving host families to settle in sites. While the total number of IDPs in the MAPAP has not significantly increased since the end of 2022 (see Map 1 and Graph 1 below), their places of accommodation have varied significantly (Graph 2). By the end of 2022, only 25 percent of IDPs were settled in sites, whereas by June 2023, this percentage had risen to 45 percent, with nearly half of the IDPs now settled in sites (Graph 2). Given that the number of IDPs has not increased significantly, these results indicate that the same IDPs previously hosted by families are moving to settle in sites where living conditions are extremely precarious, and people are exposed to higher protection risks.
This report aims to deepen the understanding of this trend through testimonies from IDPs obtained through open interviews.

PROJECT AND SCOPE OF WORK
Established in 1951, IOM is the leading inter-governmental organization in the field of migration and works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.
The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Regional Evidence for Migration Analysis and Policy (REMAP) project was developed in response to the critical need to collect and analyze information on (protracted) displacement and human mobility in, to and from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan and to contribute to evidence-based humanitarian and development programming in these countries and in the region.
With the growing recognition of the complex, non-linear interplay between climate change and human mobility, IOM aims to initiate a DTM survey focused on understanding the linkages between environmental degradation/climate change and human mobility in Pakistan. This survey seeks to investigate both internal mobility within Pakistan's borders and international migration patterns of Pakistani and non-Pakistani nationals.
The primary objective of this consultancy is to design a robust methodology, including a detailed sampling plan, household survey instrument, and an overall implementation plan for the DTM environmental/climate change and human mobility survey. The consultant will play a pivotal role in shaping the framework that will guide the collection, analysis, sampling, and interpretation of data on how climate change impacts human mobility in Pakistan.

- Over 487,000 people have crossed into Chad since the onset of the crisis in Sudan. IOM estimates that more than 67,780 are Chadian returnees and expects this number to rise to 80,000 in the coming weeks.
- In coordination with CNARR and humanitarian organizations, IOM has counted 52,786 returnees and counted 135 third-country nationals (from South Sudan, Niger, Ethiopia, the Central African Republic, Burkina Faso, Nigeria and Uganda) in 30 localities in three provinces.
- Most of the returnees currently live in spontaneous locations near the border and are in urgent need of food, water, sanitation and hygiene, shelter, household items, health, and protection.
- IOM has started the relocation of returnees from Adre to a site in Tongori in coordination with authorities. In total, 975 of the most vulnerable returnee households (6,325 individuals) have so far been relocated. Separate designated ambulatory vehicles were used to transport the most vulnerable, including people with disabilities. Furthermore, IOM has supported the establishment of a site governance structure with representatives elected by the site residents and is supporting the establishment of community groups (women, youth, community watch, etc.).
- IOM is coordinating with ocal authorities, embassies and diplomatic representations for the safe transfer and voluntary return of third-country nationals (TCNs) from Ethiopia, South Sudan, Sierra Leone, and Cameroon to N’Djamena.
- IOM works with a range of operational partners in the returnee response including the Government of Chad, UNHCR, LWF, PUI, UNICEF, MSF, UNFPA, ICRC, IRC, ACTED, the Chadian Red Cross and WFP.

In northern Nigeria and other Sahel regions, the escalation of hostility and violent conflicts between transhumant herders and farmers are linked to several key factors. One of the main contributors is the competition over natural resources, which is exacerbated by the low rainfall, insecurity, insurgency, growing population and the attendant land-intensive demands for both farming and transhumance activities. Additionally, year-round farming and the conventional methods of land allocation to farming and herding activities add to the tensions, as farmers may encroach on designated grazing areas and routes, and herders in turn resort to destructive practices such as trespassing on farmlands, causing crop destruction and polluting water sources to feed their cattle. These factors sometimes result in deadly conflicts.
To understand, evaluate and mitigate conflicts between transhumant herders and sedentary farmers, the Transhumance Tracking Tools (TTT) as a component of IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), and supported by a network of community key informants, implemented the Early Warning System in nine selected Local Government Areas (LGAs) located in the neighbouring states of Adamawa and Taraba (7 and 2 LGAs of Adamawa and Taraba state respectively). The triangulated 342 alerts linked to farmer-transhumance events for August 2023 comprise of 322 (94%) events and 20 (6%) movement alerts. Of the reported alerts, the largest number, representing 23 per cent of all alerts are reported in Demsa LGA in Adamawa state followed by Zing LGA of Taraba at 16 per cent. The disaggregated event alerts in the two states show the highest reported events of 21 per cent for Monkin ward within Zing LGA in Taraba state, followed by Kola ward in Guyuk LGA of Adamawa at 20 per cent, while Nassarawo Demsa and Gwamba wards of Demsa LGA reported 15 per cent each.
The reported alerts suggested instances of 1 per cent population displacement and 21 per cent of instances that resulted in casualties or injuries.
