IOM DTM, UNHCR and REACH combined their flow monitoring data for South Sudan with geographically disaggregated data about COVID-19 cases in neighbouring countries compiled by UNICEF, with the aim of mapping population inflows at risk of COVID-19 transmission. Data on individuals travelling from areas with COVID-19 cases includes both those entering from neighbouring countries as well as internal movements within South Sudan. The reported volume of individuals entering South Sudan from neighbouring countries has decreased considerably in April compared to March due to several factors:a reduction of population flows due to regional COVID-19 preventive measuresa reduction of flow monitoring pointsmore precise geographic data on areas with confirmed COVID-19 casesData reflects the situation as of 30 April.

The analysis is indicative of incoming movements 73 flow monitoring points at South Sudan’s borders and internal transport hubs, of which 65 recorded incoming cross-border travel in March 2020. This map shows inflows from COVID-19 affected areas in neighbouring countries in March 2020. COVID-19 cases in neighbouring countries are mapped at the first administrative level in Kenya, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic, and at the second administrative level in Uganda, Sudan and Ethiopia.

This map shows the human mobility network tracked by DTM's Flow Monitoring Registry in South Sudan and between South Sudan and neighbouring countries, based on interviews carried out at 39 Flow Monitoring Points between 01/02/2020 and 25/03/2020. Figures are only indicative of existing trends among respondents at the active FMPs since DTM does not have full coverage of cross-border or internal flows. Participation in the survey is voluntary and anonymous.Flows are mapped at the second administrative level for neighbouring countries and at the county or payam level for South Sudan. Flows to and from camps are mapped using UNHCR or IOM camp coordinates where available.The map is best visualized in Adobe Acrobat or Chrome, other PDF readers may result in graphic distortions.
