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 11th and 17th of April 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 5,338 individuals who were affected by the attacks. A total of 5,187 individuals were displaced to neighbouring wards in the LGAs Guma, Logo and Tarka in Benue State, Kanam in Plateau State and Dange-Shuni and Wurno in Sokoto State. A total of 409 casualties were reported, including 258 injuries and 151 fatalities.

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.

From January to December 2021, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) registered a total of 48,870 persons (8,178 households) – 100% of which were of internally displaced persons (IDPs) with no new registration exercises of returnees since December 2020. DTM Sudan completed a total of ten registration exercises across Central Darfur, South Darfur, and South Kordofan.

Through its flow-monitoring registry (FMR) component, DTM Sudan registered a total number of 4,987 individuals (1,410 households) having entered Sudan via Abyei during 2021, up until 23 December 2021.

Finally, DTM Sudan recorded a total of 3,422 Sudanese nationals returning from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) during 2021. For more information on DTM Sudan’s previous registration activities, please see DTM Sudan Registration Factsheet 2020.

Since 24 February 2022, increasing numbers of refugees and third-country nationals entering the Republic of Moldova have been registered amid the war in Ukraine. As of 08 April, Moldovan authorities have reported 406,662 arrivals from Ukraine, of whom 370,805 are Ukrainian refugees and 35,857 third-country nationals (TCNs) (Source: General Inspectorate for Border Police, Republic of Moldova).

This report is based on 169 surveys done by IOM and UN Women with third-country nationals (non-Ukrainian and non-Moldovan citizens) between 09 March and 8 April 2022.

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 16 April 2022, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 5,348 households (HH) (32,088 Individuals) who experienced displacement at least once.

Between 10 and 16 April 2022, IOM Yemen DTM tracked 125 households (750 individuals) displaced at least once. The majority of people moved into/within the following governorates and districts:

• Ad Dali (38 HHs) – Qatabah (26 HHs), Ad Dali (12 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Ad Dali and Ibb.
• Shabwah (38 HHs) – Bayhan (32 HHs), Ataq (6 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Bayda.
• Al Hodeidah (20 HHs) – Hays (18 HHs), Al Khukhah (2 HHs) districts. Most displacements in the governorate originated from Al Hodeidah and Taiz.

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

• Al Bayda (35 HHs) – Nati (28 HHs), Numan (4 HHs), Az Zahir - Al Bayda (2 HHs) districts.
• Al Hodeidah (30 HHs) – Hays (11 HHs), Zabid (6 HHs), At Tuhayta (4 HHs) districts.
• Ad Dali (19 HHs) – Qatabah (12 HHs), Al Husha (3 HHs), Damt (3 HHs) districts.

Cette étude de l’Organisation Internationale pour les Migrations (OIM) en Côte d’Ivoire a été réalisée dans le cadre d’un projet financé par l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO), afin de réaliser un profil pilote de la population migrante dans les régions cacaoyères du Cavally et du Gôh, avec un focus sur les enfants, et notamment leurs rôles dans les plantations. 

Ce rapport pilote a été fruit d’un partenariat entre l’Organisation  Internationale pour les Migrations (OIM) et l’Organisation des Nations-Unies pour l’alimentation et  l’agriculture (FAO), entend contribuer à répondre à la priorité du Gouvernement de Côte d’Ivoire d’éliminer le travail des enfants et à assurer la durabilité de la filière du cacao et le développement de politiques informées de lutte contre la déforestation. Cet exercice de collecte et d’analyse des données est réalisé en coordination avec le Comité National  de Surveillance des Actions de Lutte contre la Traite, l’Exploitation et le Travail des Enfants (CNS), le  Comité Interministériel de Lutte contre la Traite, l’Exploitation et le Travail des Enfants (CIM), via  particulièrement la Direction de la lutte contre le travail des enfants (DLTE), ainsi que l’Institut National de la Statistique (INS) avec qui la méthodologie et les différentes étapes du projet ont été validées. 

Cet partenariat entre l’OIM et la FAO combine les expertises respectives en matière de suivi  et de protection des populations mobiles d’un côté, et en matière de travail et développement du  secteur agricole en Côte d’Ivoire de l’autre, mettant ainsi à profit la complémentarité des mandats et  des actions des deux agences des Nations Unies.

This snapshot summarizes available data on Bangladeshi nationals in Europe in 2020 and 2021. The first page visualizes the number of Bangladeshi nationals who arrived by land and sea in the European Union and those who transited through the Western Balkan and Eastern Europe region in 2021. The data on arrivals and transits is made available by national authorities and then gathered by the IOM DTM Europe1. Numbers of apprehensions or registrations at the border in the Western Balkan and Eastern Europe region are not summed up to avoid double counting of the same persons who transit through multiple countries in their intent to reach Central and Northern Europe. The second and third pages show numbers of Bangladeshi nationals residing in Europe in 2020 by gender and European region as reported by UNDESA. The snapshot is part of the outputs of the EU-funded Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) project “Regional Evidence for Migration Analysis and Policy” (REMAP). The objective of DTM REMAP is to strengthen the evidence-based formulation and implementation of humanitarian and development policy and programming on migration and forced displacement in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq and Pakistan.

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 26 March to 08 April 2022, 3,553 undocumented Afghan migrants returned to Afghanistan, including 460 through the Torkham border point and 3,093 through the Chaman border point. During the reporting period, border authorities facilitated the return of 35 individuals due to the lack of legal documentation to remain in Pakistan. Therefore, information concerning these 35 individuals is not included in the report analysis.
