Assessment Report

On 19th October 2024, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in collaboration with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), Danish Refugee Council (DRC), and Humanitarian and Development Consortium (HDC) conducted a rapid intention survey at Malakal TC aimed to track population dynamics and displacement patterns in the center, to better inform humanitarian response and improve OTA operations. According to the headcount conducted, the TC hosts 1,684 individuals (1,632 South Sudanese returnees and 52 Sudanese nationals), showing a decrease of 210 individuals compared to August 2024.

MTM implements the Return Migrants Survey in Tajikistan with international return migrants in 12 districts and cities in all 5 regions of Tajikistan. The selection of survey locations was informed by the findings of MTM’s Baseline Mobility Assessment (BMA). The survey questionnaire drew upon IOM's previous studies in Central Asia and consultations with both internal and external experts. It covered a range of topics including socio-economic profiles, migration experiences, employment status, remittances, as well as identifying needs and vulnerabilities.

In the third round of the survey (conducted from June to August 2024), 2,186 return migrants were interviewed. The key findings reveal significant insights into their circumstances. The majority of return migrants, 97 per cent, came from the Russian Federation. Moreover, 44 per cent of the respondents reported having attained an upper secondary education level, while 63 per cent of the respondents identified themselves as the primary breadwinners for their families. The majority, 45 per cent of the return migrants, were previously engaged in the construction sector. Moreover, a notable portion, 53 per cent, stated circular movement between country of return and Tajikistan. 

This report reflects data corresponding to Sudan Mobility Update (10) dataset. The dataset is available here.

Overview:  
This report provides an overview of the total population of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Sudan, including those displaced both before and after the onset of the conflict on 15 April 2023.    
 
Key Findings:  

• An estimated total of 11,018,231 IDPs were displaced to 9,470 locations, in 184 localities, across all 18 states in Sudan.  
• An estimated 8,268,984 individuals were displaced internally within Sudan since 15 April 2023. 
• An estimated 28 per cent of IDPs who were initially displaced prior to the onset of the current conflict experienced secondary displacement since 15 April 2023.
• Approximately 3,128,939 individuals crossed borders into neighbouring countries since 15 April 2023.   
• The top states of origin were Khartoum (33%), South Darfur (19%), and North Darfur (15%).   
• The highest proportion of IDPs were hosted in South Darfur (17%), North Darfur (14%), and Gedaref (9%) states. 
• Over half (53%) of IDPs were reportedly children under the age of 18-years-old.   

Annex 1 includes an operational matrix with a table of estimated IDPs per state, disaggregated by displacement before versus after 15 April 2023.   

Note: The number of IDPs displaced post 15 April 2023 (8,268,984 IDPs) includes the estimated 1,071,525 IDPs who were initially displaced prior to 15 April 2023 and experienced secondary displacement since 15 April 2023. DTM Sudan defines an internally displaced person as any person who has been forced or obliged to flee from their habitual residence due to an event dating from 2003 onwards. 

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 provides an in-depth look at the progress made in supporting the displaced residents of the Dauchi settlement, located in Song local government area, Adamawa State. Dauchi, home to over 200 households, has become a permanent refuge for people who were forced to flee their homes due to the insurgency in north-east Nigeria. Instead of returning to their areas of origin, many displaced persons have chosen to integrate into this local community.
Through a detailed survey, this report explores the living conditions and livelihoods of Dauchi’s residents while also assessing the availability of key infrastructure and services, such as health centres, schools, and water sources. In addition, demographic data from registration exercises offers valuable insights into the population’s age and gender distribution, which helps inform future interventions for the community.
The findings provide a comprehensive view of Dauchi’s socio-economic landscape and the challenges its residents face, making this report a vital resource for those working to improve conditions and provide long-term solutions for the settlement’s residents.

In recent years, climate and environmental changes have increasingly affected various regions across Nigeria, leading to significant disruptions in the lives of internally displaced persons (IDPs). This report presents an assessment conducted to evaluate the impact of these changes on IDP households living in camps across 10 states in two regions: north-central (Benue, Plateau, Nasarawa, Niger, and Kogi states) and north-west (Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, and Zamfara states). The assessment aimed to understand how climate and environmental events such as floods, sandstorms, windstorms, droughts, and erratic rainfall patterns have influenced the livelihoods, migration patterns, and resource access of IDP households.
