DRC — Lomami Displacement Report 1 (June 2018)

As a response to the humanitarian crisis that is currently affecting the Democratic Republic of Congo, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) launched Displacement Tracking Matrix exercises (DTM) in seven (7) 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 Lomami province from the 13th of April to the 12th of May 2018 within 312 health areas (aires de santé). For these assessments, a total of 2,684 villages have been evaluated through 8,977 key informants’ interviews, identifying 252,912 IDPs and 266,575 Returnees.
