Ethiopia Displacement -IDPs - Site Assessment [IOM DTM]

As of July 2021, a total of 4.17 million IDPs have been identified thus far across the country. Through Site Assessment (SA), a total of 2.07 million IDPs were identified in 1,580 sites across 10 regions in Ethiopia. Simultaenously, 2.1 million IDPs were also tracked through the Emergency Site Assessment (ESA) round 7 which is a monthly tool used to track internal displacement in Tigray, Afar and Amhara regions caused by the Northern Ethiopia Crisis. Of the total displaced population, the main causes of displacement were conflict which displaced 3.5 million IDPs (84%), drought which displaced 308,607 IDPs (7%), flash floods which displaced 157,522 IDPs (4%) and seasonal floods which displaced 112,469 IDPs (3%).

Through Site Assessment (SA), a total of 1.96 million IDPs were identified in 1,379 sites across 11 regions in Ethiopia. Conflict displaced an estimate of 1.25 million IDPs, followed by drought which displaced 318,992 IDPs, flash floods which displaced 156,815 IDPs and seasonal floods which displaced 113,388 IDPs, among other displacement reasons.

Through Site Assessment (SA), a total of 1.96 million IDPs were identified in 1,222 sites across 11 regions in Ethiopia. Conflict displaced an estimate of 1.2 million IDPs, followed by drought which displaced 331,963 IDPs and seasonal floods which displaced 169,662 IDPs, among other displacement reasons. During the same period, a total of 131,590 IDPs were also tracked through the Emergency Site Assessment (ESA) round 2 which is a monthly tool used to track internal displacement in Tigray, Afar and Amhara regions caused by the crisis in Northern Ethiopia. This was also the first time DTM conducted its Site Assessment tool in Addis Ababa, thus tracking internal displacement in every region in Ethiopia for the first time. Combining the SA and ESA figures brings the total to 2.1 million IDPs identified throughout the country thus far. However, kindly note that there were substantial access and/or security issues throughout Tigray region, Metekel zone in Benishangul Gumz region, the Wallegas and the Hararges in Oromia region and Sheka zone in SNNP region.

Through the Site Assessment which was conducted from 1 to 29 February 2020, DTM captured 1,735,481 IDPs (323,589 IDP households) in 1,237 sites. The biggest causes of displacement were conflict which displaced 1,170,659 IDPs, followed by drought which affected 381,426 IDPs and seasonal flood which affected 73,736 IDPs.

1,733,628 total IDPs and 321,428 households.

1,606,086 total IDPs and 307,437 households.

1,642,458 total IDPs and 321,537 households.

2,235,290 total IDPs and 412,159 households. 1,645,867 conflict-affected IDPs tracked through the Site Assessment. Climate-induced displacement was the second largest cause of displacement with a total of 518,334 IDPs. This is followed by 71,089 IDPs displaced by other factors such as economic/development projects, severe wind, fire, social tensions and protracted displacement due to volcanic disruptions.

2,227,109 total IDPs and 403,327 households. 1,623,716 conflict-affected IDPs tracked through the Site Assessment. Climate-induced displacement was the second largest cause of displacement with a total of 499,336 IDPs.

2,227,109 total IDPs and 403,327 househods. Conflict was reported as the primary driver of displacement (1,663,396 IDPs), followed by displacement due to climate induced factors (508,723 IDPs).

2,332,936 IDPs (1,773,482 Conflict Affected IDPs, 498,417 Climate Induced IDPs, 61,037 People displaced by Other factors) 1,043 Sites Assessed and 148 Inaccessible Sites

1,083 Sites Assessed. 1,472,209 Conflict Affected IDPs. 531,001 Climate Induced* IDPs 72,068 Other Drivers of Displacement like displacement due to economic/development projects, severe wind, social tensions and protracted displacement due to volcanic eruptions.

The majority of the recorded population were displaced during 2017 with 596 sites reportedly opening in 2017 (DTM Rounds 3-8). In terms of overall cause of displacement, conflict was reported as the primary driver (1,453,422 IDPs), followed by displacement due to climate induced factors (541,490 IDPs) and other reason (40,264 IDPs). This trend is consistent over time, with conflict constantly being the primary cause of displacement across the country.

Overall cause of displacement, conflict was reported as the primary driver (1,204,577 IDPs), followed by displacement due to climate induced factors (536,321 IDPs) and other reason(35,787 IDPs). This trend is consistent over time, with conflict constantly being the primary cause of displacement across the country

1.6M total IDPs and 275K households. Period covered Mar-18. 764,145 displaced individuals comprising 127,299 households in 347 displacement sites were identified in Somali region. These figures represent a decrease of 68,507 in the total individuals (-8.23%) a decrease of 621 households (-0.49%) and an increase of 9 sites (+2.66%) since round 9 (January/February 2018).
