DRC Displacement - Eastern Monitoring - Baseline Assessment [IOM DTM]

In the four eastern provinces of the DRC, comprising Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu, and Tanganyika, during this assessment DTM identified 5,647,465 internally displaced people (IDPs) and 3,525,590 returnees, present in 71 percent of assessed villages. DTM estimates that the highest proportion (45%) of IDPs (2,561,136 individuals) are hosted in North Kivu, followed by 25 percent (1,395,604) in South Kivu, 24 percent (1,360,577) in Ituri and 6 percent (330,148) in Tanganyika. The most frequently reported reasons for displacement among displaced populations living in host families are attacks by armed groups (87%), inter-community conflict (10%) and natural disasters (3%). An estimated 2,026,086 individuals were displaced by the M23 crisis at the time of the most recently produced DTM crisis analysis.

This dataset presents compiled data from the most recent round of DTM DRC’s mobility tracking assessments, currently conducted in the provinces of Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu, and Tanganyika.
