Site Assessment

Rotriak is a location in Budang payam of Rubkona county and was initially a checkpoint for cargo heading to and from Sudan before the 2013 crisis. With the current flood displacement in Unity state, the affected population moved northward and settled in the dry areas at oil fields in Unity state. The area was then officially allocated by local authorities to the affected population as well as individuals who wish to relocate and settle in Rotriak. The demarcated area allocated for the displaced persons is 15 sqaure kilometers. The area is divided into 12 blocks and each block accommodates 280 – 299 plots of land.
On 24th May 2022, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix conducted a rapid assessment to determine the magnitude of the humanitarian situation and estimate the population of Rotriak site. information was collected through Focus Group Discussions, key informant interviews and direct information.
Between 20 and 22 July 2022, IOM conducted population count at Rotriak Site. Blocks (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12, and 14) are occupied and the total population of the site stands at 27,795 individuals. The population count findings at the eleven blocks show 53 per cent of the population are male, compared to 47 per cent female. Sixty per cent of the IDPs are between 0 – 18 years. Block 4 accommodates the highest number of IDPs (17%), followed by Block 3 (16%), Block 6 (12%), and Block 1 (11%). Almost all (97%) displaced persons cited that they intend to stay at the site.

As per July 2022 population count findings, the Bentiu IDP camp population stands at 104,581 individuals (17,412 households) in 11,765 inhabited shelters (on average of 9 individuals per shelter). This represents a two per cent decrease compared to April 2022.

Unity State has been experiencing flooding since 2019 in the counties of Mayendit, Leer, Panyijiar, and Koch. As a result of the flooding in Guit and Rubkona in 2021, Bentiu Town Sites (A, B, C, D, and E) were formed in August 2021. In order to provide accurate information on the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), the International Organization for Migration’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (IOM DTM) began conducting monthly population counts in November 2021, including questions on areas of habitual residence, areas of displacement, intentions to return or relocate and demographic information to inform partners.
As per July 2022 population count findings, the Bentiu Town Sites (A, B, C, D, and E) population stands at 57,924 individuals (on average 6 individuals per shelter). This shows a decrease of 194 individuals recorded during this period compared to April 2022.
Between 1 - 31 July 2022, Rapid Flow Monitoring (RFM) at points of entry in Bentiu Town Sites (A, B, C, D, and E) indicates an increase in new arrivals (72%). Twenty-eight per cent are found leaving the sites. Most of the increased new arrivals during this period were recorded in Site E (40%), Site D (18%), and Site C (9%), most of whom came from locations within Unity State (99%), with Guit County (35%), Leer (29%), Rubkona (17%), and Koch (10%), and others (9%). IDPs arriving at the sites travelled using boats (48%) or came by foot (41%).

This report is composed of a set of maps presenting the different migration phenomena and trends in Chad. It describes the various population movements recorded from, to and within Chadian territory and profiles the populations on the move.

The types of mobility covered in this paper include socioeconomic movements; movements of Chadians abroad and of foreign nationals in Chad; transhumance; forced displacement and IOM-facilitated returns. Often, these different mobilities intersect and intertwine. This report attempts to highlight this link and to better understand the related dynamics.

This report is the result of a compilation of various databases, reports from different information sources and testimonies collected directly from mobile populations or key informants. The sources are indicated on each page.

While it can’t be considered complete or representative, the report provides a general picture of the migration situation in Chad.

Depuis juin 2021, une recrudescence des affrontements entre gangs a causé une situation d’insécurité généralisée dans plusieurs communes de la Zone métropolitaine de Port-au-Prince et le déplacement de dizaines de milliers de personnes. Par ailleurs, le 14 août 2021 un séisme d’épicentre d’environ 13 km au sud-est de Petit-Troude-Nippes a frappé les départements des Nippes, du Sud et de la Grand’Anse. Ce séisme acausé la mort de 2 246 personnes, ainsi que la destruction ou des dommages importants à plus de 115 000 maisons, affectant ainsi au moins 800 000 personnes.

Durant les mois de juin à août 2022, la DGPC et l’OIM ont mis en oeuvre la première ronde de l’enquête de référence sur la population déplacée interne dans la Zone métropolitaine de Port-au-Prince (ZMPP) et dans le Grand Sud. Cette enquête vise à collecter des informations de base sur le nombre de personnes déplacées internes vivant dans les sites.

En septembre, dans la ZMPP, 21 684 personnes restent déplacées dans 36 sites spontanés. La DTM et la DGPC estiment par ailleurs que 2 528 PDI demeurent déplacées dans le Grand-Sud suite au séisme d’août 2021. 

The West and Central Africa Mobility Mapping report is a compilation of maps showing various mobility trends and mobility factors for movements to and from the West and central Africa region (forced displacement, transhumance, labour movements, etc.) This work is based on multiple data collection activities implemented by IOM and other actors (UNDESA, Ministries of Interior of various countries) and showcase the complexity of mobility in the region.

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 sectoral information on individuals held in Libya’s detention centres on the date of assessment.

 IOM DTM conducted an intention survey on the West Coast of Yemen covering mainly locations in Al Hodeidah governorate (91%) which experienced the highest level of new displacement in the first half of 2022. IOM DTM’s Rapid Displacement Tracking (RDT) tool recorded 1,874 households as newly displaced in Al Hodeidah in the first half of 2022, making up over a quarter of all displaced tracked within governorates controlled by the Internationally Recognized Government (IRG) of Yemen. In contrast to other governorates experiencing a high influx of IDPs, households in Al Hodeidah most commonly didn’t cross governorate or district boundaries, fleeing very short distances - more than half (59% or 1,077 HHs) of all newly displaced households remained within their district of departure ( January – June 2022).
