The DTM Emergency Event Tracking (EET) is deployed to track sudden displacement and population movements, provide more frequent updates on the scale of displacement, and quantify the affected population when needed. As a subcomponent of the new Mobility Tracking methodology in Sudan (Round Four), and activated on a need basis, EET utilises a broad network of key informants to capture best estimates of the affected population presence per location – a useful tool for humanitarian response planning and design. 

From 24 February to 31 May, it is estimated that over 74,000 Ukrainians entered the Western Balkans (WB) following the outbreak of the armed conflict in Ukraine. In the same period, nearly 23,000 Ukrainians entered Montenegro, of which nearly 15,000 left the country.
As of 29 May, about 7,700 Ukrainians who have fled the armed conflict were present in Montenegro, a proportionally higher figure than the previous assessment conducted, when about 6,000 Ukrainians were registered in the country. Interestingly, the Ukrainian refugee population currently represents 1.2% of the official Montenegrin population. 3Most of them stay in the coastal area of the country, with friends or relatives or by renting houses/apartments. The cities where there is the greatest presence of Ukrainians are Budva, Bar, Herceg Novi, Tivat and Podgorica.
Between 19 and 31 May, IOM conducted the second rapid displacement and needs assessment in Montenegro in four locations
(Podgorica, Bar, Budva, Herceg Novi) to gather up-to-date information and verify any changes, particularly in terms of the unmet needs of the target population. Compared to the first assessment conducted (available here), this time, the IOM has focused on the coastal area, excluding Bijelo Polje as currently fewer Ukrainians are present there. IOM has decided to focus and prioritize Montenegro as the country continues to have the highest percentage of Ukrainian refugees currently residing in the WB (almost two-thirds of the total Ukrainians present), mainly due to cultural ties, as many have been to the country at other times for tourism reasons or as home/apartment owners but also because the Ukrainian community previously established in the country serves as a pull factor for many fleeing their war-torn homeland. On 13 March 2022, the government of Montenegro issued the decision on granting temporary protection to all persons fleeing Ukraine for a period of one year, renewable. The procedure for obtaining temporary protection should last up to 30 days from the date of submission of the application, during which period, applicants receive a confirmation of submission according to which the most vulnerable categories, such as pregnant women, the chronically ill, children, persons with urgent health problems, can immediately access health care. However, of the 2,530 requests for temporary protection submitted as of March 13, of which 70 per cent adults (76% female and 24% male) and 30 per cent children (of which 23% under 5 years of age), only 434 requests had been resolved.

From 24 February to 06 April, it is estimated that around 40,000 Ukrainians entered the Western Balkans (WB) following the outbreak of the armed conflict in Ukraine. In the same period, an estimated 10,000 Ukrainians entered Montenegro, of which 4,000 left the country. Around 6,000 Ukrainians who fled the armed conflict are currently present in Montenegro. In addition to this, there are around 2,000 Ukrainians who are regular residents of Montenegro. Ukrainian refugees currently represent around 1 per cent of the official Montenegrin population. Most of them are staying in the coastal area of the country, with friends or relatives.
Between 30 March and 06 April, the IOM conducted a rapid displacement and needs assessment in Montenegro in four locations, in Podgorica, Budva, Herceg Novi and Bijelo Polje, to gather more in-depth information on the profiles, intentions and needs of Ukrainians who fled their home country to escape the conflict. The reason for implementing this rapid assessment in Montenegro is that the country has the highest percentage of Ukrainian refugees currently residing in the WB (almost two thirds of the total Ukrainians present). This is mainly due to the cultural linkages with the country, but also to the fact that many Ukrainians have been to the country at other times, having their own house or apartment or having spent the holidays there. On March 13, 2022, the government of Montenegro issued the decision on granting temporary protection to all persons fleeing Ukraine for a period of one year with the possibility of an extension for an additional period. The procedure for obtaining temporary protection lasts up to 30 days from the day the application is submitted.
During this period, applicants receive a confirmation of submission according to which the most vulnerable categories, such as pregnant women, the chronically ill, children, persons with urgent health problems, can immediately access health care

From 24 February to 15 August, it is estimated that around 182,000 Ukrainians entered the Western Balkans (WB) following the
outbreak of the armed conflict in Ukraine. It is estimated that over the period from 24 February to 15 August, nearly 16,000 Ukrainians entered North Macedonia, of which nearly 13,000 left the country. Most of them stay in Skopje, with friends or relatives or by renting houses/apartments. The cities where there is the greatest presence of refugees from Ukraine are Skopje, Bitola, Prilep and Ohrid.
Between 07 July and 15 August, IOM conducted the rapid displacement and needs assessment in North Macedonia in cooperation with the Red Cross in twelve selected locations. The refugees from Ukraine are coming to North Macedonia mainly due to cultural ties, as many have been to the country at other times for tourism reasons but also because the Ukrainian community previously established in the country, despite being small, serves as a pull factor for the ones fleeing their war-torn homeland.

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 8 October 2022, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 9,045 households (HH) (54,270 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 2 and 8 October 2022, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 61 households (366 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Marib (46 HHs) – Marib City (36 HHs), Harib (4 HHs), Marib (4 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Shabwah and Al Hodeidah.
• Ad Dali (6 HHs) – Ad Dali (4 HHs), Qatabah (2 HHs) districts. All displacements in the governorate were internal.
• Al Hodeidah (4 HHs) – Hays (4 HHs) district. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Taiz and Al Hodeidah.

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

• Al Hodeidah (12 HHs) – Az Zaydiah (4 HHs), Hays (2 HHs), Al Mansuriyah (2 HHs) districts.
• Shabwah (11 HHs) – Ataq (9 HHs), Markhah As Sufla (2 HHs) districts.
• Taiz (9 HHs) – Jabal Habashi (3 HHs), Maqbanah (3 HHs), Salah (1 HH) districts.

During the reporting period (21 September to 03 October 2022), a total of 186 movements were recorded - 102 arrivals (8,450 individuals), 46 departures (2,838 individuals), 1 transit (265 individuals), and 36 returns (5,939 individuals). The largest arrival movements were recorded in Metuge (4,941 individuals), Ancuabe (1,911 individuals), Mueda (473 individuals), and Quissanga (398 individuals). The largest departure movements were recorded in Palma (1,363 individuals), Nangade (535 individuals) Metuge (422 individuals), and Mueda (421 individuals). Only one transit movement was observed in Mueda (265 individuals). The largest return movements were observed from Montepuez (3,819 individuals) to Mocimboa da Praia, within Quissanga (1,362 individuals), and within Muidumbe (507 individuals). Of the total population, 28 per cent of mobile groups were displaced for the first time, 45 per cent for a second time, and 27 per cent were displaced at least three times.

Afin de pouvoir appuyer la réponse humanitaire au bénéfice des populations affectées, l’OIM, en coordination avec l’Institut National de la Statistique (INSTAD) et les autorités locales, a mené des évaluations rapides dans les régions d’Ali-Sabieh, de Dikhil, de Tadjourah, de Arta et d’Obock. Une première évaluation a été menée entre le 27 juillet et le 2 août 2022 dans 62 localités d’Ali-Sabieh et 66 localités de Dikhil. La deuxième évaluation a été menée entre le 1er et le 7 septembre dans 245 localités de Tadjourah, 186 localités d’Obock et 64 localités d’Arta.

Cet exercice avait pour but de fournir un aperçu de la situation et des besoins prioritaires des populations dans ces cinq régions. Des données ont été collectées sur les lieux d’origine, les lieux de déplacement, le nombre et les besoins des populations affectées par la sécheresse. Cette enquête ciblait spécifiquement les deux groupes de population suivants: les Personnes Déplacées Internes (PDI) et les migrants. Pendant les évaluations rapides menées dans un total de 623 localités dans les 5
régions du pays, 6,086 personnes déplacées internes et 1,506 migrants ont été recensés.
