Mali Displacement - [IDPs, Returnees] - Baseline Assessment [IOM DTM]

La crise sécuritaire que le Mali a connu en 2012 a provoqué d’importants déplacements de populations tant à l’intérieur du territoire que vers les pays limitrophes. Afin d’orienter la réponse humanitaire et de faciliter le retour et la réintégration des personnes déplacées internes (PDIs) et des réfugiés, la Direction Nationale du Développement Social (DNDS), fournit depuis décembre 2014 des informations à l’ensemble de la communauté humanitaire et aux pouvoirs publics afin de répondre aux besoins des populations déplacées, retournées et rapatriées au Mali.

Les opérations de collecte et de mise à jour des données menées dans le cadre du programme DTM confirment la baisse du nombre de personnes déplacées au Mali. Le nombre de PDIs est en effet passé de 401 736 personnes (rapport CMP de septembre 2021) à 350 110 en décembre 2021. Ainsi entre septembre et décembre 2021, une baisse de 51 626 personnes déplacées (13%) a été constatée.

Pendant que nous observions une tendance au retour, entre septembre et décembre 2021, des violences variées ont continué à être signalées dans les régions de Mopti, Ségou, Tombouctou et Gao. En effet, ces violences ont provoqué la fuite de populations de leurs villages et hameaux pour trouver refuge dans des localités des dites régions où la situation sécuritaire semble plus calme.

The internally displaced population increased by 6 percent compared to July 2021. The number of IDPs has increased from 377,781 people (DTM report of July 2021) to 401,736 in September 2021, an increase of 23,955 individuals. This increase is explained by the worsening of security conditions in the regions of Ségou, Mopti and Timbuktu during the last two months, resulting in more and more trips.

Data collection and updating operations carried out under the DTM program confirm the drop in the number of displaced people in Mali. The number of IDPs has indeed fallen from 386,454 people (CMP report of May 2021) to 377,781 in July 2021. Thus between May and July 2021, a decrease of 8,673 displaced persons was observed. However, between May and July 2021, various violence continued to be reported in the regions of Mopti, Ségou, Timbuktu and Gao. Indeed, this violence caused the flight of populations from their villages and hamlets to find refuge in localities of the said regions where the security situation seems calmer.

The data collection and updating operations carried out under the DTM program show an increase in the number of displaced persons in Mali between July and October 2020. The displaced population in the region increased by 8.2% compared to July (DTM report of July 2020). The number of IDPs has indeed increased from 287,496 people (DTM report July 2020) to 311,193 in October 2020, i.e. an increase of 23,697 individuals. This increase is explained by the worsening of security conditions in the regions of Ségou, Mopti, Timbuktu, Gao and Ménaka in recent months, causing more and more displacement.

The number of IDPs has indeed increased from 266,831 people (CMP report of June 2020) to 287,496 in July 2020, an increase of 20,665 individuals. This increase confirms the worsening of security conditions in the regions of Mopti, Ségou, Tombouctou, Gao and Ménaka and the Mali-Burkina Faso-Niger border strip in recent months, causing more and more displacement.

The number of IDPs rose from 207,751 people (CMP report by December 2019) to 250,998 in April 2020, an increase of 43,247 individuals. This increase is due to various types of violence in the regions of Mopti, Ségou, Timbuktu, Gao and Ménaka and the Mali-Burkina Faso border strip.

239,484 IDPs and 561,606 returnees

The number of IDPs has increased from 216,639 people (CMP report by January 2020) to 218,536 in February 2020, an increase of 1,897 individuals. This increase is due to various types of violence in the Mopti region.

Data collection and updating operations carried out under the DTM program show an increase in the number of displaced people in Mali between November and December 2019. The number of IDPs has increased from 201,429 people (CMP report by November 2019) to 207,751 in December 2019, an increase of 6,322 individuals. This increase is due to various types of violence in the regions of Mopti, Gao and Ménaka and the Mali-Burkina Faso border strip. Indeed, this violence has caused the displacement of populations from their villages and hamlets to find refuge in localities where the security situation seems calmer.

The number of IDPs increased from 187,139 people (CMP report by September 2019) to 199,385 in October 2019, an increase of 12,246 individuals. This increase is due to various types of violence in the regions of Mopti, Gao and Ménaka and the Mali-Burkina Faso border strip.
