Site Assessment

DTM identified 76,987 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in 102,824 displaced households in the 18 provinces of Burundi during the month of May 2024. Among those identified, 93 per cent were displaced due to environment-related disasters while 7 per cent were a result of other reasons. Over half (54%) of IDPs were children, aged 18 years old and under.

As of the end of August 2024, 137,430 individuals (31,025 households) are biometrically registered as active resident in the site, representing two per cent increase in registered individuals since January 2024 following the latest biometric registration maintenance in Bentiu IDP Camp.

As of the end of July 2024, 25,034 individuals (7,090 households) were biometrically registered as active beneficiaries at the site. This marks a two percent increase in registered individuals since January, following the most recent biometric registration update at Juba IDP Camp 3. Recognizing that there have been significant population changes since the last overall biometric registration / verification, IOM DTM conducts occasional population counts to monitor population dynamics and displacement trends. This exercise shows that the actual number of persons currently living in Juba IDP Camp 3 remains lower than the registered total.

As of the end of July 2024, 7,679 individuals (2,124 households) were biometrically registered as active beneficiaries at the site. This marks a two percent increase in registered individuals since January, following the most recent biometric registration update at Juba IDP Camp 1. Recognizing that there have been significant population changes since the last overall biometric registration / verification, IOM DTM conducts occasional population counts to monitor population dynamics and displacement trends. This exercise shows that the actual number of persons currently living in Juba IDP Camp 1 remains lower than the registered total.

The EU-funded Individual Measure 3 (IM3) project "Sustainable support to persons displaced by conflict and natural disasters and their host communities in Afar, Amhara, Benishangul Gumz and Tigray” aims to sustainably enhance the protection and response to basic needs, for forcibly displaced persons and host communities in Ethiopia, with an emphasis on areas affected by natural and man-made disasters.

As a cross-cutting component of the IM3 project, IOM’s Data and Research Unit (DRU) carried out a Household Level Survey (HLS) with Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) households, returning IDP households and non-displaced resident households in Central, Eastern and North Western zones of Tigray region. The multisectoral household survey indicators are in line with global cluster standards, as well as frameworks to measure progress towards durable solutions.

KEY FINDINGS: 

• The most reported need across all target groups was food, which was reported by 92.4% of IDP households, 87.2% of returning IDP households and 88.4% of non-displaced resident households.
