DRC — Kasai Oriental Displacement Report 1 (April 2018)

As a response to the humanitarian crisis that is currently affecting the Democratic Republic of Congo, the International Organization for Migration launched DTM exercises (Displacement Tracking Matrix) in seven provinces of the country in order to collect up-to-date information on forcibly displaced persons and returnees. These results will provide a better understanding of the displacement dynamics in DRC and support the humanitarian response. This report provides the main findings of the DTM assessments that were conducted in the Kasai Oriental province from the 22nd of February to the 16th of March 2018 within 299 health areas (aires de santé). For these assessments, a total of 1,678 villages have been evaluated through 4,714 key informants’ interviews, identifying 79,232 IDPs and 176,842 Returnees.
