During the COVID-19 pandemic, IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), monitors the movements to and from Nigeria's Adamawa and Borno States in north-east Nigeria. Assessments are conducted at Points of Entry located along the border with Cameroon.
During the period 22 - 28 January 2022, 242 movements were observed at three Points of Entry in Borno state. Of the total movements recorded, 107 were incoming from the Far North Region in Cameroon, while 135 outgoing movements were recorded from Borno State to the Far North Region in Cameroon.

Between the 24th and 30th of January 2022, a total of 3,328 movements were recorded in  Adamawa and Borno States. The recorded movements consisted of 3,040 arrivals and 288 departures.

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 report is part of the European Union funded project ‘‘Displacement Tracking Matrix Regional Evidence for Migration Analysis and Policy (DTM REMAP)”. Key findings during this reporting period are:

- From October to December 2021, 16,398 undocumented Afghan migrants spontaneously returned to Afghanistan, including 2,874 through the Torkham border point and 13,524 through the Chaman border point.

- Among the total number of undocumented Afghan returnees, border authorities facilitated the return of 72 individuals due to the lack of legal documentation to remain in Pakistan. Therefore, information concerning these 72 individuals is not included in the report analysis.

- The average family size of returnees was 10 individuals and 12% of all returnees recorded during the reporting period were categorized as vulnerable persons.

- All returnees were carrying household items, personal belongings and cash when surveyed. They also travelled with additional items, such as productive assets (99%), transportation vehicles (28%) and livestock (3%).

- The top 3 challenges returnees expected to face in Afghanistan were: arranging livelihood, settling into a new city and finding better income opportunities.

Initial attacks in Meluco district by Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs) were reported on 4 January 2022. Recent attacks in Muaguide posto - (Mitemba, Sitate, and Iba) triggered the movements of 6,005 individuals between 28 January - 2 February 2022. The arrival of displaced populations from Meluco within this reporting period have been mapped in Ancuabe (2,031 individuals), Metuge (1,056 individuals), Montepuez (1,215 individuals), Pemba (1,149 individuals), Chiure (547 Individuals), and Mecu­ (7 individuals). ETT Teams deployed at strategic observation points across host communities and sites have cumulatively observed at least 9,381 individuals/2,659 households arriving from Meluco across southern districts of Northern Mozambique (4 January - 1 February).

During the reporting period (26 January to 1st February 2022), a total of 54 movements were recorded - 49 Arrivals (5,506 individuals), and 5 departures (306 individuals). The largest arrival movements were recorded in Ancuabe (2,093 individuals), Montepuez (1,158 individuals), Cidade de Pemba (667 individuals), Chiure (547 individuals), Nangade (457 individuals), Metuge (369 individuals) and Mueda (206 individuals). The largest departure was observed in Montepuez (265 individuals). Of the total population captured by the ETT, 90 per cent were displaced for the first time, and 10 per cent of reported IDPs had been displaced more than once prior to this latest movement.

Following these events, rapid assessments were conducted by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in collaboration with the National Institute for Disaster Management and Risk Reduction (INGD), from the 25 January 2022. Rapid assessments are still ongoing with a focus on understanding the extent of initial displacements across accommodation centers and hosting communities as well as damages to houses and facilities across all affected localities in Tete, Niassa, Sofala, Nampula and Zambezia Provinces.

As a result of the impact of Tropical Storm Ana, an estimate of 42,800 families had their houses completely/partially destroyed in the districts assessed so far. Of these 80% are in Nampula (34,244 houses), 15% in Zambezia (6,488 houses), 2% in Tete (812 houses) and 3% in Sofala (1,256). In addition, 21 tents and 16 emergency shelters were completely or partially destroyed due to the rain and strong winds.

IOM/INGD identified 409 latrines and 8 water points damaged. Moreover, localities assessed so far identified at least 98 schools reporting partial and major damaged. Affected schools are in Nampula (62), Zambezia (29), Sofala (7) provinces. A total of 259 classrooms were completely or partially damaged in the affected schools.

In assessed locations, 16 health centres were also completely/partially damaged in Nampula (14) and Zambezia (2)
