Site Assessment

DTM has been conducting the Baseline Mobility Assessment (BMA) in Afghanistan since 2016 to track mobility, provide information on population estimates, locations and geographic distribution of displaced and returnee populations, reasons for displacement, places of origin and periods of displacement. The Community-Based Needs Assessment (CBNA) provides a comprehensive overview of the evolving vulnerabilities and multisectoral needs in communities hosting internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees from abroad.

Data is collected at the settlement level through focus group discussions with community focal points and direct observation. The figures presented in the report are estimates provided by community focal points.

This factsheet delves into the key findings in Balkh province using the latest results from Round 16 (Sep to Dec 2022) of the BMA and CBNA, focusing on the 2021-to-2022 period.

Between August and September 2022, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), through its Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) methodology, deployed the Site Assessment (SA) and Village Assessment Survey (VAS) tools to assess the mobility, needs and vulnerabilities of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and returning IDPs across Ethiopia.

According to data collected, living conditions of IDPs in the assessed sites continue to be inadequate and unsafe. In most assessed sites, no HH was living in individual HH shelters (1,937 sites, or 88.05%). In addition, data also shows that access to emergency shelter kits is limited and that needs related to shelter are acute. In line with these findings, in 62.16% of villages, the majority of returning IDPs had not received any Non-Food Item (NFI) upon return, showing a poor situation both in the sites of displacement and villages of return.

The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) provides primary data and information on internal displacement and population movements – incountry and at regional and global levels. DTM’s work worldwide informs humanitarian, recovery, transition and development interventions by providing timely data and analysis to relevant actors including governments, United Nations partner agencies, donors and other stakeholders. DTM operates in contexts where conflict, natural disasters and complex emergency settings can cause short-term or protracted displacement, as well as in mixed migration contexts. In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, there were 16.2 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) in 2022. This figure constitutes 23 per cent of the global population of IDPs, making MENA the region with the second highest concentration of IDPs worldwide (following the sub-Saharan Africa region). Most displacement in the MENA region (80%) has been triggered by armed conflict, in particular in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Sudan and Yemen.

Detention Centre Profiling is a component of IOM Libya’s Displacement Matrix programme. It is a data oriented tool that routinely provides specific sex and age demographic data and key sectorial information on individuals held in Libya’s detention centres on the date of assessment.

Mozambique’s National Institute for Disaster Management (INGD) estimates 1.75 million people exposed to floods and subsequent landfall of the tropical storm Freddy across central and southern Mozambique. Making landfall on 24 February 2023, Tropical Storm Freddy has impacted the provinces of Gaza, Inhambane, Manica, Niassa, Sofala and Zambezia.
DTM in coordination with INGD and CCCM have put together report from needs assessments for twelve resettlement sites in Niassa (4), Sofala (2) and Zambezia (6).

Between 25 November 2022 and 9 January 2023, IOM’s DTM deployed Site Assessment (SA) Round 32 and Village Assessment Survey (VAS) Round 15. SA is conducted in locations hosting a reported 20 or more IDP households, and the VAS is conducted in locations hosting a reported 20 or more returning IDP households that returned after 1 January 2021. The National Displacement Map visualizes locations of displacement, density of displacement caseload, primary reasons for displacement, estimated displacement figures, and access constraints.

In order to capture the displacement and return dynamics in Ethiopia, DTM Ethiopia's National Displacement Report combines findings from its Site Assessment (SA) in Section 1 and findings from the Village Assessment Survey (VAS) in Section 2. The Site Assessment tracks the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs), while the Village Assessment Survey tracks the number of IDPs who are returning or have returned to their communities.

According to data collected through the Site Assessment round 32 between November 2022 and January 2023, 3.14 million IDPs (579,672 households) were internally displaced across 2,472 accessible sites in Ethiopia. Tigray region was covered in this round but data was shared separately.

According to the data collected through the Village Assessment Survey round 15 between November 2022 and January 2023, there were an estimated 1.89 million returning IDPs (424,162 households) across 1,727 villages in Ethiopia. Tigray region was covered in this round but data was shared separately.

W okresie 25-27 kwietnia zespół DTM w Warszawie przeprowadził 11 dyskusji w grupach fokusowych, w których uczestniczyło łącznie 90 osób, w lokalizacjach zbiorowego zakwaterowania naul. Wołoskiej 7 (A i B), Jana Pawła 15 i Modlińskiej 6D. Celem tego ćwiczenia było zbadanie sytuacji życiowej uchodźców przebywających w lokalizacjach zbiorowego zakwaterowania, ich doświadczeń w znalezieniu zatrudnienia w Polsce, powodów nieprzenoszenia się zmiejsc zbiorowego zakwaterowania i zamiarów na najbliższe miesiące.
