Since January 2014, Iraq’s war against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has caused the displacement of over 6 million Iraqis – around 15 per cent of the entire population of the country. Displaced communities began to return in waves from March 2015, following the military campaigns to retake areas under ISIL control and driven by expectations of restored stability, which peaked between June 2017 and June 2018 when nearly 4 million individuals returned to their location of origin, and since then the rate of return has slowed considerably. As of July 2021, around 4.9 million returns have been recorded across 2,162 locations in Iraq, but 287 locations nationwide have not yet witnessed returns. Around 1.2 million individuals remain in displacement, including those enduring secondary displacement and/or failed returns, mostly because of ongoing safety and
security issues at the area of origin.

The Integrated Location Assessment (ILA) is an annual assessment that collects detailed information through key informants on displaced and returnee households living in locations identified through the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Master Lists. The reference unit of the assessment is the location, which is defined as an area that corresponds with either a village for rural areas or a neighbourhood for urban areas (i.e. fourth official administrative division). Routinely collected information includes geographic distribution and main characteristics of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees, mobility and future intentions including obstacles to return and/or reasons to stay/return, living conditions and main needs, state of infrastructure and
services, security incidents, feelings of safety, social cohesion and reconciliation issues, and specific protection and risk indicators. The ILA VI was conducted in May–July 2021 and covered 3,757 locations, reaching 4,876,170 returnee individuals
and 1,154,462 IDP individuals (representing 99% of all recorded returnees and 97% of IDPs).

The Return Index is a tool designed to measure the severity of conditions in locations of return. Data collection for the Return Index Round 15 took place between the months of January and March 2022 across eight governorates, 38 districts and 2,165 locations in Iraq. During Round 15, three additional locations of return were assessed, but the overall number of locations remained the same due to families displacing from two locations previously assessed in Round 14 and the combination of two locations into one in Round 15.

Data collection for Round 125 took place between 1 January and 31 March 2022. As of 31 March 2022, DTM identified 4,959,714 returnees (826,619 households), dispersed across 8 governorates, 38 districts, and 2,179 locations in Iraq. A total of 7,482 new returnees were recorded between January and March 2022. This is significantly lower than the number of returns recorded in
the previous period between October and December 2021 (13,158). Notably, this is the lowest number of returns recorded since they commenced in April 2015. During this period, the highest number of newly arrived returnees was recorded in Salah al-Din (3,174), followed by Ninewa (2,064), Anbar (660), and Baghdad (612).

Additionally, between January and March 2022, DTM identified a total of 1,184,818 IDPs (203,447 households), dispersed across 18 governorates, 105 districts, and 2,803 locations. This represents an overall net decrease of 1,738 IDP individuals since the October-December 2021 period, and is a smaller decrease than what was recorded between then and August-September 2021 (3,025). Regarding IDPs’ area of origin, consistent with the previous round, 56 per cent of the current caseload of IDPs come from Ninewa governorate (663,138), especially from the districts of Mosul (246,229), Sinjar (193,354), and Al-Ba’aj (93,751). The next highest shares of IDPs come from the governorates of Salah al-Din (137,726; 12% of the total caseload), Anbar (133,321; 11%), Kirkuk (75,873; 6%), and Diyala (73,946; 6%).

During the COVID-19 pandemic, IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), monitors cross-border movements to and from Nigeria's Borno State in north-east Nigeria. Assessments are conducted at Points of Entry located along the border with Cameroon.

A range of data was collected during the assessments to better inform on travellers’ nationalities, sex, reasons for moving, mode of transportation and timeline of movement as shown in figures 2 to 5 below.

Війна в Україні, яка розпочалася 24 лютого 2022 року, спричинила безпрецедентну гуманітарну кризу, що охопила всі області країни. У період з 29 квітня по 3 травня Міжнародна організація з міграції (МОМ) провела четвертий раунд репрезентативного експрес-оцінювання загального населення України для збору інформації стосовно потоків внутрішнього переміщення та мобільності, а також для оцінювання місцевих потреб. Це оцінювання загального населення слугує первинним джерелом для виявлення сфер із високими гуманітарними потребами та визначення цільових заходів реагування для надання допомоги населенню, що постраждало від війни. Географічне охоплення цього оцінювання покриває всю територію України, усі п’ять макрорегіонів (захід, схід, північ, центр, південь та місто Київ), за винятком Кримського півострова.

Опитування загального населення було проведено шляхом набору випадкових телефонних номерів, завдяки чому було анонімно опитано 2 000 унікальних респондентів віком від 18 років із використанням методу автоматизованого телефонного опитування (CATI). Оцінка спирається на дані про населення Фонду народонаселення ООН (UNFPA), які гуманітарна спільнота розглядає як базове значення для чисельності населення в Україні. Особи, які нині перебувають за межами України, під опитування не потрапили. Докладніше про метод і обмеження, у тому числі про визначення МОМ терміна «внутрішньо переміщені особи» для цілей цього оцінювання, див. на с. 11.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), monitors cross-border movements to and from Nigeria's Borno State in north-east Nigeria. Assessments are conducted at Points of Entry located along the border with Cameroon.

A range of data was collected during the assessments to better inform on travellers’ nationalities, sex, reasons for moving, mode of transportation and timeline of movement as shown in figures 2 to 5 below.

Nigeria's north-central and north-west zones are afflicted with a multidimensional crisis 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). During the past years, the crisis has accelerated because of the intensification of attacks and has resulted in widespread displacement across the region.
Between the 2nd and 8th of May 2022, armed clashes and banditry have led to new waves of population displacement. Following these events, rapid assessments were conducted by DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) field staff to inform 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. 
During the assessment period, the DTM identified an estimated 1,973 individuals who were affected by the attacks. A total of 1,912 individuals were displaced to neighbouring wards in the LGAs Bakura, Maradun and Tsafe in Zamfara State and Jibia in Katsina State. A total of 131 casualties were reported, including 70 injuries and 61 fatalities.

Em dezembro, com a autorização emitida pela Polícia Federal após a entrada no país, a regularização migratória
pode ser realizada em outras cidades do país. Neste mês, o número de solicitantes dos serviços de regularização migratória da Operação Acolhida e, consequentemente, de pessoas em situação de rua em Pacaraima diminuiu 27,33% em comparação a novembro, totalizando 2566 pessoas. Na noite da contagem, foram atendidas 428 pessoas no Anexo BV-8 em serviço de pernoite. Atores da sociedade civil seguiram com cadastro para que a população das ocupações espontâneas tenha acesso a
cartões-alimentação.

Em dezembro, a OIM contabilizou aumento de 3,45% na população fora dos abrigos, chegando a 2489 pessoas. O Posto de Recepção e Apoio (PRA) teve acréscimo de 6,24% em relação ao mês anterior, com 1209 pessoas. A infraestrutura do PRA segue em reforma para ampliar a capacidade, os serviços ofertados e melhorar as condições de pernoite, água e saneamento. O número de ocupações espontâneas na cidade se manteve em 14, no entanto, a população nesses espaços foi de 908 para 913 pessoas, um incremento de 0,55%. No último trimestre do ano, a população em situação de rua subiu para 356 pessoas, 0,56% mais do que o mês anterior.
