IOM DTM, UNHCR and REACH combined their flow monitoring data for South Sudan with geographically disaggreagated data about COVID-19 cases in South Sudan and neighbouring countries compiled by UNICEF, with the aim of mapping population flows that may be vulnerable to 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 data reflects the situation as of 31 May

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.

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.
