Since 2013, the region of Diffa in Niger has experienced significant population displacements, both within its border as well as refugees coming from the north-eastern states of Nigeria. As a result, the displacement situation in Diffa region is a complex mixed-displacement context that includes IDPs, returnees and refugees.

In order to find durable solutions for internal displacement — whether through return to communities of origin, local integration, or relocation — and to prevent new displacements in the region, it is critical to understand the relative levels of stability in locations hosting returnees or displaced populations.

Therefore, IOM has launched the Stability Index (SI) in the LCB to evaluate the stability of areas hosting returnees or displaced populations. The SI seeks to understand which factors influence a location's stability, which can inform priority programmatic interventions along the humanitarian, peace and development nexus in order to strengthen the resilience and stability and prevent future forced displacements. This report presents the result from the first Stability Index round conducted in March/April 2021 in Diffa, Niger. 

The DTM Emergency Event Tracking (EET) tool is deployed with funding from the European Union and the German Federal Foreign Office to track sudden internal displacement and population movements.

Activated on a need basis, EET utilises a broad network of community focal points (CFPs) to capture best estimates of the affected population presence. One focal point is interviewed in each community assessed.

On 12 October 2021, DTM teams activated Round 2 of the EET in Afghanistan to monitor the displacement of individuals and conditions of communities, following episodes of drought and rapid political changes. This report provides a snapshot of the current displacement situation based on the latest and best available information from the EET sources up until 15 November 2021.

From 12 October to 15 November 2021, DTM teams assessed 9,608 communities in 355 districts across all 34 provinces in Afghanistan. The data presented in the report refers to the above-mentioned observation period.

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 23 - 29 October 2021, 163 movements were observed at three Points of Entry in Borno state. Of the total movements recorded, 96 were incoming from the Far North Region in Cameroon. Additionally, 67 outgoing movements were recorded from Borno State to the Far North Region in Cameroon.

De 17 a 31 de Agosto de 2021, em estreita coordenação com o governo provincial de Cabo Delgado, as equipas de Matriz de Monitoria de Deslocamentos (DTM) da Organização Internacional para as Migrações (OIM) realizaram Avaliações Multi Sectoriais de Locais (MSLA) em 53 locais que acolhem 195,250 pessoas deslocadas internamente (PDIs) na província de Cabo Delgado, 1 local com 4.910 deslocados internos na província de Nampula, e 2 locais com 340 deslocados internos na província do Niassa, em resposta aos deslocamentos em massa causados pela situação de insegurança no norte. Em todos os locais, a maioria dos deslocados internos foram deslocados pela situação de insegurança.

Do total de 195.250 indivíduos nos locais avaliados, 54,670 (ou 28%) são mulheres, 39,050 (20%) são homens, e 101.534 (52%) são crianças. Os dados demográficos nas figuras 2 e 3 são uma amostra recolhida através de amostragem aleatória de vinte agregados familiares por local.

Cette recherche, cofinancée par l'Union européenne et la Commission de la CEDEAO à travers le projet « Soutien à la libre circulation des personnes et à la migration en Afrique de l'Ouest », vise à comprendre l'impact socio-économique de COVID-19 sur la libre circulation, les envois de fonds des migrants et le bien-être de leurs ménages, leurs familles et communautés au Niger. Les principaux objectifs comprenaient le profil socio-économique des ménages de migrants, de mieux comprendre comment la migration est liée au bien-être socio-économique des ménages et des communautés au Niger, et pour contribuer à la compréhension sur les tendances migratoires et éclairer les décisions politiques concernant la libre circulation des personnes. La collecte des données a eu lieu entre octobre et novembre 2020 dans les régions d'Agadez, Maradi, Niamey, Tahoua et Zinder. Ce document présente les principaux résultats de l'étude.

This research, co-funded by European Union and ECOWAS Commission through project “Support to Free Movement of Persons and Migration in West Africa”, aims to understand the socio-economic impact of COVID-19 on free movement, migrant remittances and the well-being of migrant households, families, and communities in Niger. The main objectives included determining the socio-economic profile of migrant households, to better understand the ways in which migration is linked to the socio-economic well-being of households and communities of selected areas in Niger, and to contribute to the understanding of migration trends and inform policy decisions regarding the free movement of people. Data collection Took place between October and November 2020 in the regions of Agadez, Maradi, Niamey, Tahoua and Zinder. This document presents the key findings of the study.

De 21 de Junho a 3 de Julho de 2021, em estreita coordenação com o governo provincial de Cabo Delgado, as equipas da Matriz de Monitoria de Deslocamentos (DTM) da Organização Internacional para as Migrações (OIM) realizaram Avaliações Multi-sectoriais de Locais (MSLA) em 42 locais que acolhem 144, 515 deslocados internos (PDIs) na província de Cabo Delgado, 1 local com 3.969 PDIs na província de Nampula, e 2 locais com 360 PDIs na província do Niassa, em resposta aos deslocamentos em massa causados pela situação de insegurança no norte. Em todos os locais, a maioria dos deslocados internos foram deslocados pela situação de insegurança.

Dans le cadre du projet financé par le Fonds de consolidation de la paix des Nations unies dans l’Est, l’Adamaoua et le Nord du Cameroun : « Est, Adamaoua, Nord : réduction des tensions/conflits liés à l’utilisation des ressources naturelles dans le cadre des activités agro-pastorales » entre janvier 2020 et octobre 2021, l’OIM a conduit, à travers son outil de suivi de la transhumance, deux phases de cartographie des pistes de transhumance et infrastructures de transhumance dans les arrondissements cibles du projet, bordant le Tchad et la République centrafricaine :
• Bibemi, Rey-Bouba, Madingring, Touboro dans le Nord ;
• Djohong, Ngaoui, Meiganga dans l’Adamaoua ;
• Garoua Boulai, Ouli, Kette dans l’Est.

Cette cartographie a été conduite par trois partenaires de mise en oeuvre de l’OIM au Cameroun :
• L’Association pour la promotion de l'élevage au Sahel et en Savane (APESS) au Nord,
• CODAS CARITAS dans l’Adamaoua ;
• L’Association Mains solidaires (AMS) à l’Est.

La cartographie a été effectuée à partir des données déjà disponibles auprès du MINEPIA, issues du Livestock and Aquaculture General Census (LAGC) effectué entre 2013 et 2015. L’objectif général de l’exercice de cartographie était compléter et mettre à jour les données disponibles sur les pistes et infrastructures pastorales existantes dans les dix arrondissements ciblés et les mettre à disposition des acteurs de la transhumance et notamment du MINEPIA, partenaire principal du projet.
