Assessment Report

Entre juin 2022 et juin 2024, la Matrice de Suivi des Déplacements (Displacement Tracking Matrix, DTM en anglais) de l’Organisation internationale pour les migrations (OIM) et le Joint IDP Profiling Service (JIPS) a mis en oeuvre et contrôlent le projet financé par ECHO : Dégradation de l’environnement et déplacements : utiliser les données centrées sur les citoyens pour améliorer la programmation humanitaire. Au cours du projet, deux cycles de collecte de données ont été réalisés. Le premier a eu lieu entre le 11 et le 22 décembre 2023 et le second
entre le 4 et le 29 avril 2024 dans 6 communes (65 Collines) à travers 4 provinces du Burundi. Ce rapport présente un résumé des données
collectées dans les 65 collines, en indiquant le sexe et l’âge des répondants ainsi que les catégories de vulnérabilité dans chaque colline. Le rapport décrit une analyse des risques, des conséquences, des facteurs contributifs et des solutions au niveau des collines.

Les résultats présentés ici ont été recueillis à l'aide de l'approche d'intelligence collective créée au cours du projet. Pour en savoir plus sur cette approche, consultez l'étude de cas du projet : 'L'utilisation des Méthodes d'Intelligence Collective : Cartographie participative et données générées par les citoyens pour lutter contre la dégradation de l'environnement et les déplacements de population'.

Si vous avez eu l'occasion de lire ou d'utiliser ce rapport, nous vous invitons à répondre à une courte enquête en français (lien ici) ou en anglais (lien ici). Nous apprécions beaucoup votre retour d'information.  

Since June 2022, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) and the Joint IDP Profiling Service (JIPS) have been collaborating on the ECHO-funded project titled “Environmental Degradation and Displacement: Leveraging Citizen-Centered Data to Enhance Humanitarian Programming.” This initiative aims to address the growing challenge of displacement driven by environmental factors. To address this, IOM and JIPS are spearheading a Collective Intelligence (CI) initiative focused on Disaster Displacement and Anticipatory Action, particularly in Humanitarian Implementation Plan (HIP) priority areas in the East and Horn of Africa. The study’s findings will contribute to strengthening early warning systems already operational in Burundi.

Collective Intelligence to Address Environmental Degradation and Displacement 

Collective Intelligence can be understood as the enhanced capability that emerges when groups of people work together, pooling their knowledge, skills, and insights to solve problems and make decisions more effectively than individuals working alone (UNDP, 2021). Using analytical tools to process and synthesise this information, CI can reveal patterns and insights that might not be evident otherwise and ensures that solutions and decisions reflect the collective input of the group, creating effective and inclusive outcomes.

Collective Intelligence Project 

The project, as described below, included Community Consultations in nine collines with 115 Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) participants (51% male, 49% female). Data collection using the CI tool covered 65 collines in six communes across four provinces in Burundi, three of which border Lake Tanaganyika, which included 3,373 survey respondents (59% male, 42% female). Throughout the project 2,520 incidences of damage or impacts of weather-related disasters as well as 2,311 prevention and mitigation measures were mapped. The project closed with Community Validation Sessions held in nine collines with 144 FGD participants (52% male, 48% female). This case study can be used to replicate this CI approach in other regions facing similar challenges. As such, this approach will contribute to global efforts in disaster risk reduction (DRR) and enhance community resilience, demonstrating how leveraging the collective knowledge of affected populations can lead to sustainable and impactful solutions.

This summary presents findings of Mobility Tracking Assessments round 21 (previously known as Baseline Assessments) conducted across Central and Southern Mozambique through key-informant and group interviews at location level between May and June 2024. 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 28,116 households hosting 139,333 IDPs in 107 locations. Ninety eight per cent of the IDPs were identified in 93 displacement sites whilst two per cent are living in host communities. The period of displacement being considered spans from 2017 to 2024 and 99 per cent of the displacements were due to climatic conditions. Sofala hosts 64 per cent of the overall IDP figure followed by Manica (20%). Comparing to the previous round, there is a 10 per cent increase in the number of IDPs in Central attributable to widened coverage and recent drought related displacements in Manica province.

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.

DTM identified 76,987 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in 102,824 displaced households in the 18 provinces of Burundi during the month of May 2024. Among those identified, 93 per cent were displaced due to environment-related disasters while 7 per cent were a result of other reasons. Over half (54%) of IDPs were children, aged 18 years old and under.

DTM Europe gathers, validates and disseminates information on migrants and refugees travelling through the Mediterranean, Western African Atlantic, and Western Balkan routes to Europe. Key routes include:

• Eastern Mediterranean route (EMR): Bulgaria, Cyprus and Greece
• Central Mediterranean route (CMR): Italy and Malta
• Western Mediterranean route (WMR): Peninsular Coasts of Spain, Balearic Islands, Ceuta and Melilla
• Western African Atlantic route (WAAR): Canary Islands of Spain

DTM also monitors data on migrants in transit through the Western Balkans (WB) region (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Slovenia, Romania, and Kosovo*). These are considered separately to prevent to the extent possible the double counting of the same persons that cross multiple borders to reach Europe.

This report presents the latest available data and trends, focusing on 2023:

• Mixed Migration Flows to Europe
• Migrant Flows Monitoring in the Republic of Türkiye
• First Arrival countries (Italy, Greece, Spain) and other countries of first arrival (Bulgaria, Cyprus and Malta)
• Transits through the Western Balkan region
• Migrants' presence, in Europe and the Republic of Türkiye

In July 2024, 40,118 migratory movements were observed at flow monitoring points (PSF) in Djibouti, including 19,310 incoming from Ethiopia. These incoming movements increased by 8 per cent compared to June, mainly due to conflicts in the Amhara and Tigray regions, which prompted many Ethiopians to use migration routes to Djibouti.

As of July 31, IOM recorded 911 migrants stranded in Djibouti, an increase of 10 per cent compared to June. The stranded migrants are mainly migrants of Oromo origin arriving from Ethiopia. A total of 1,000 migrants returning from Yemen were recorded in Obock and Tadjourah in July, an increase of 56 per cent compared to June 2024 due to increased controls in Yemen.

From 1 March to 16 May, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in Latvia interviewed a total of 111 individuals as part of the Surveys with Refugees in the Ukraine Response Region. The results from these interviews are presented in the following report.
