A la suite d’un incendie d’origine inconnue, survenu le 26 juin 2022 dans le quartier Bouboumari, situé dans le village de Ngouboua (sous-préfecture de Ngouboua, département de Kaya dans la province du Lac), la DTM a effectué une collecte des données afin d’évaluer l’impact de cet incendie. Ce feu a affecté 84 ménages de 251 individus, causé des dommages critiques aux maisons et engendré la perte de stocks des produits agricoles et des articles non alimentaires. Les personnes affectées par l’incendie sont en majorité sans abri et ont besoin d’une aide urgente.

Following a fire of unknown origin that occurred on 26 June 2022 in the locality of Boudoumari, located in the village of Ngouboua (sous-prefecture of Ngouboua, department of kaya in the Lac Province), an assessment was carried out by DTM to assess the damage caused by this fire. In total, 84 households of 251 individuals were affected. Considerable damage to houses as well as significant loss of agricultural stocks and non-food items were reported. Most of affected people by the fire lost their shelters and need urgent assistance.

Au cours des cinq premiers mois de l’année 2022, dans un contexte marqué par l’insécurité et la fermeture des frontières terrestres et aériennes entre le Mali et les pays de la Communauté Economique des Etats de l’Afrique de l’Ouest (CEDEAO), des combats et attaques sporadiques se sont poursuivis dans plusieurs localités du pays occasionnant des déplacements internes de populations civiles dans le Nord et dans le Centre du pays. Le caractère violent des conflits a provoqué d’importants déplacements de populations à l’intérieur du territoire malien et dans les communes frontalières entre le Burkina Faso et le Niger, avec des méthodes de mouvements très complexes à suivre. Des déplacements de courte durée ont continué à être signalés dans différentes régions du pays.

Chaque semaine, de nouvelles personnes déplacées internes (PDI) continuent d’être enregistrées. Ces mouvements ont un impact considérable sur les personnes forcées de fuir leurs foyers et sur les communautés qui les accueillent.

Afin de répondre aux besoins des populations déplacées internes, rapatriées et retournées, la Commission Mouvement de Populations (CMP) recueille et analyse les informations sur les mouvements de populations à l’intérieur du Mali, pour fournir un état complet des mouvements de populations et à la demande de ses partenaires. Les membres de la Commission sont : la Direction Générale de la Protection Civile (Ministère de la sécurité intérieur), UNHCR, OCHA, PAM, UNICEF, ACTED, NRC, DRC, HI, Solidarités International, CRS, OIM, et DNDS. Plusieurs autres entités participent régulièrement aux rencontres de la Commission.

Between 1 May and 31 July 2021, DTM Ethiopia surveyed a total of 2,680 migrants across 5 Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs). These FMPs are located in Metema, Galafi, Moyale, Dawale and Tog Wochale. During this period, a total of 62,684 movements were also observed through the Flow Monitoring Registry.

The majority of movements were motivated by economic reasons (66.7%), followed by marriage, family reunification or family formation (10.8%). Of those that reported an intended final destination, the highest proportion reported planning to travel to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (38.5%), and the most reported reason for choosing a final destination country was job opportunities (48.4%) followed by returning to their home countries (12.6%).

Between 1 August and 31 October 2020, DTM Ethiopia surveyed a total of 1,911 migrants across 6 Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs). These FMPs are located in Humera, Metema, Galafi, Moyale, Dawale and Tog Wochale. The majority of movements were motivated by economic reasons (74.5%), followed by marriage, family reunification or family formation (12.3%). Of those that reported an intended final destination, the highest proportion reported planning to travel to Sudan, and the most reported reason for choosing a final destination country was job opportunities (50%) followed by returning to their home countries (19%).

The DTM Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) is deployed to track and to collect information on large and sudden population movements, provide frequent updates on the scale of displacement and quantify the affected population when needed. As a sub-component of the Mobility Tracking methodology in Nigeria, ETT utilises direct observation and a broad network of key informants to capture best estimates of the affected population per location, enabling targeted humanitarian response planning.

Between 20 and 26 June 2022, a total of 3,709 new arrivals were recorded in Adamawa and Borno States. The new arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Damboa, Gwoza, Kala Balge, Monguno and Ngala Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the most conflict-affected state of Borno and in Demsa, Fufore, Girei, Gombi, Guyuk, Hong, Lamurde, Maiha, Michika, Mubi South, Numan, Song, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa State.

ETT assessments identified the following movement triggers: improved security (1,611 individuals or 43%), military operations (792 individuals or 21%), poor living conditions (735 individuals or 20%), family re-unification (173 individuals or 5%), seasonal farming (165 individuals or 4%), lack of humanitarian assistance (110 individuals or 3%), fear of attacks (98 individuals or 3%), and communal clashes (25 individuals or 1%).

IOM, through the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Flow Monitoring tool, collects data at key entry, exit and transit points to better understand population movements across West and Central Africa. The monitoring of population flows allows for the quantification and qualification mobility flows and trends, migrant profiles, and migratory experiences and routes. Since March 2017 two Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) have been active in Kano and Sokoto in northern Nigeria, monitoring mobility within the country and between Nigeria, Niger and beyond.

In Nigeria, DTM conducts Flow Monitoring activities in several important transit locations in Sokoto and Kano to monitor the movements of passenger buses to and from Niger. The Sokoto FMP covers three migratory routes in Illela, Gada and Sabon-Birnin. And the Kano FMP (Kofar Ruwa Park and Yankaba Park) covers two migratory routes in Dala and Nasarawa Local Government Areas in Kano state.

This report presents data collected on flows, routes, provenance, destination and demographic profiles of travellers observed at the FMPs between 1 and 30 April 2022.
