Assessment Report

This district profile is part of our comprehensive analysis in the 20th round of Mobility Tracking Assessments. This one-pager per district succinctly summarizes the situation of IDPs in a specific district, focusing on IDPs population trends, demographics, origins, living conditions, and their most pressing needs.

This summary presents findings of the 20th round of Mobility Tracking Assessments (previously known as Baseline Assessments) conducted across Northern, Central and Southern Mozambique through key-informant and group interviews at location level between November and December 2023. Mobility Tracking assessments provides a geographical overview of demographic and mobility profiles of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees across Mozambique. During this round, IOM DTM mapped a total of 709,529 IDPs and 632,408 returnees in 364 locations. Cabo Delgado hosts 76 per cent of the overall IDP figure followed by Sofala (11%). Estimated 55 per cent of the total IDPs were identified in host communities whilst 45 per cent are living in displacement sites. Conflict was the major trigger of displacements in Northern Mozambique whereas most of the displacements in Central Mozambique were triggered by disasters due to natural hazards. The total figure of IDPs decreased by 17 per cent comparing to the previous round. However, the analysis suggests that this decrease does not directly correlate with an increased rate of returnee. In Round 20, there was an 11 per cent increase in returnees. This follows significant household-level verification efforts to ensure best estimates.

The Registered IDP Area Baseline Assessment provides granular data on the number and geographic location of officially registered internally displaced people (IDPs). This report assesses registered IDP presence at the raion level, also mapping the recorded change since the previous round. Round 32 presents the data of the registered IDP population disaggregated by sex, age and state-recognised disability status.

The data collected for the Area Baseline Assessment Round 32 reflects the up-to-date local administrative register of the IDP population as of 31 January 2024, equivalent to a total of 3,509,147 registered IDPs. Registered IDP figures were collected for 1,098 hromadas (83% of all hromadas covered in Ukrainian government-controlled areas), across 108 raions and 23 oblasts. Data disaggregated by age, sex and disability status were provided for around 83 per cent of the administrative units covered.

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.

Depuis 2022, la région orientale de la République démocratique du Congo (RDC), en particulier le Nord-Kivu, est en proie à un conflit dévastateur qui s'est intensifié et est devenu de plus en plus complexe au fil du temps, avec le potentiel d'atteindre des niveaux sans précédent dans le Nord-Kivu. Cette crise se caractérise par une multitude d'acteurs armés en conflit, une importante population déplacée et une population encore plus importante en manque d'aide humanitaire. Le conflit actuel entre le groupe M23 et les Forces armées de la République démocratique du Congo (FARDC) et leurs alliés a été une source majeure de violence et d'instabilité dans la région.

La période allant du 28 janvier au 12 février 2024 est particulièrement caractérisée par une expansion des hostilités dans les territoires de Masisi en chefferie , Rutshuru et Nyiragongo. Les endroits les plus touchés dans le Masisi sont les chefferies Bashali et Bahunde, le groupement Bukombo dans le Rutshuru et les groupements Buhumba et Kibumba dans le Nyiragongo.

Depuis le début de la crise, l'OIM, par le biais de la DTM continue à mener une série d'évaluations rapides, y compris le suivi des urgences (EET/ERM), l'analyse des crises et enregistrement avec priorité de répondre aux besoins immédiats d'information en vue de comprendre la dynamique des déplacements et les besoins. Ce rapport présente les résultats des évaluations menées dans les différentes zones de déplacement et de retour du 28 janvier au 12 février 2024.

Since 2022, the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), in particular North Kivu, has been gripped by a devastating conflict that has intensified and become increasingly complex over time, with the potential to reach unprecedented levels in the province.

The period from 28 January to 12 February 2024 was particularly marked by an expansion of hostilities in the territories of Masisi, Rutshuru and Nyiragongo. The most affected areas identified are located in Masisi (the Bashali and Bahunde chefferies), the Bukombo groupement in Rutshuru and the Buhumba and Kibumba groupement in Nyiragongo.

Since the beginning of the crisis, IOM, through its Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), has continued conducting a series of rapid assessments, including emergency monitoring (EET/ERM), crisis analysis and registration with the aim of responding to immediate information needs in order to understand displacement dynamics.

This report presents the results of assessments carried out in the various displacement and return areas between 28 January and 12 February 2024.

In Round 46, a total of 2,305,335 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) were identified in 472,239 households. This signifies a slight increase of less than one per cent (or 9,801 individuals) compared to Round 45 when 2,295,534 IDPs were recorded (June 2023). During Round 46, IDP assessments were conducted in 2,333 locations across the six states of north-east Nigeria. The assessed locations included 273 camps and camp-like settlements and 2,060 locations where internally displaced persons lived among host communities. Furthermore, 2,083,835 returnees were recorded in the Round 46 assessment.

This factsheet aims to provide a snapshot of multi-sectoral conditions, needs, and challenges among Myanmar migrants in Chiang Mai province as captured between October 2023 and January 2024 by IOM Thailand’s multi-sectoral assessment of needs. The purpose of this assessment is to provide insights regarding the severity of needs among migrant populations, identify vulnerable population groups and geographic areas with the most acute needs, inform assistance planning and relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets, and provide sectoral and inter-sectoral baselines for future assessments.
