Assessment Report

Between August 12 and October 15, 2024, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) carried out Round 18 of the General Population Survey (GPS), which offers a highly representative assessment of internal displacement in Ukraine. The data in this report, commissioned by IOM, was gathered by 61 enumerators from Multicultural Insights through screener phone-based interviews involving 40,002 randomly selected respondents, alongside follow-up interviews with 1,421 internally displaced persons (IDPs), 1,185 returnees, and 1,804 residents. These interviews were conducted using the computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) method and a random digit dial (RDD) approach.

This report presents the main findings from Round 18 of the GPS, providing detailed insights into population figures, analysis of displacement flows and mobility intentions, demographic profiles, household composition and vulnerabilities, and the needs of the returnee population. These insights aim to support evidence-based decision-making on strategic, technical, and programmatic aspects of the response and recovery efforts in Ukraine.

Since October 8 there has been an increase in cross-border incidents between Israel and Lebanon, resulting in the displacement of people both within the South and elsewhere within the country. Since October 10, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has been conducting the daily monitoring of population movements. The objective of the exercise is to inform preparedness and response planning.

This report compiles flow monitoring survey (FMS) data collected in Yemen between July and September 2024 and provides an analysis of migrants’ demographic and socio-economic profiles, including education and employment backgrounds, reasons for leaving their country of origin or habitual residence, future travel intentions and protection and challenges faced during the journey. Also included are migrants’ employment status prior to moving.

The migration routes in the southern part of Yemen are categorized along two main routes: the south-eastern route towards Shabwah, Hadramawt, and Al Maharah governorates and the north-eastern route towards Lahj and Ta’iz governorates. Both routes are travelled by a large number of migrants each year. The actions taken by Yemeni authorities against smugglers along the Lahj coastline represent a significant shift that could reshape migration dynamics in the region moving forward. Through the Flow Monitoring Registry tool, which focuses on total numbers of migrants (as opposed to the more detailed migrant profile established through the FMS).

DTM recorded 5,668 migrants entering Yemen through the south (90%) and north (10%) in the third quarter of 2024. This figure represents an increase of 14 per cent compared to the previous quarter.

During the third quarter of 2024, a total of 3,323 surveys were conducted. In Lahj (851), Al Maharah (762), Aden (589), Shabwah (525), Ma’rib (477), and Hadramawt (119). The overall number of surveys increased by two per cent since the previous quarter. The majority of respondents were young adults between the age of 16 and 25 (90%) searching for economic opportunities (96%), most of whom were single (92%), attained primary education or less (61%), were currently unemployed (96%) and departed from rural areas (56%).

The Oblast Profiles provide key representative findings for 14 oblasts and Kyiv City on current population estimates, displacement flows and mobility intentions, demographics, household composition and vulnerabilities, and the needs of present populations. They also focus on durable solution pathways to internal displacement and sustainable reintegration of returnees, aligning with the criteria proposed by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Framework on Durable Solutions for IDPs. 
 
This report presents findings from Rounds 18 of the General Population Survey (GPS). Data collection was conducted from 12 August to 15 October 2024.

Since October 10, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has been conducting the daily monitoring of population movements.

On 26th October 2024, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) conducted a rapid intention survey through its Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in collaboration with ACTED, the camp management organization. This survey was conducted in Renk TC and its surrounding areas. The primary objective was to monitor population dynamics and displacement patterns within the center. The insights gained from this survey are intended to enhance humanitarian responses and optimize Onward Transportation Assistance (OTA) operations. According to the headcount conducted by ACTED on October 24, 2024, the TC hosts 13,227 individuals (11,743 South Sudanese returnees and 1,484 individuals of other nationalities).

The International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in collaboration with the Protection, and Shelter and Settlement units visited Raja Town in September 2024 to conduct registration of its returnee population in order to enable access to humanitarian assistance and respond to the immediate shelter needs of the returning local communities. In September 2024, IOM registered 2,742 individuals (1,401 households) from the returnee population. Almost half of the registered population was found to be individuals between 18 and 59 years of age (49%). Women aged 18 to 59 make up 32 per cent of the population, while women and girls together constitute 57 per cent of the overall registered population. The Shelter and Settlement unit provided multipurpose cash assistance to all the 1,401 targeted returnee households (2,742 individuals). The majority of households who returned to their area of origin after more than four years of displacement found their shelters damaged.

This report, based on a questionnaire administered through KoBo, provides insights into the profiles, experiences, needs, routes travelled and intentions of migrants transiting through Montenegro. Data was collected from 1 July to 30 September 2024. IOM surveyed 245 migrants at the Reception Center Božaj, and active transit locations such as bus stops or at key entry and exit locations (Rožaje and Pljevlja) throughout the country.
