Nigeria Displacement - [IDPs] - Location Assessment [IOM DTM]

This dataset, which presents the results from Round 39 of Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) assessments carried out by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), aims to improve the understanding of the scope of internal displacement, the plight of returnees and the needs of the displacement affected populations in north-east Nigeria. The report covers the period from 30 August to 15 October 2021 and reflects the trends from the six states in Nigeria’s north-east geopolitical zone. This zone is the most affected by the conflict and consists of the following states: Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe. In Round 39, a total of 2,200,357 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) were identified in 452,363 households. This signified an increase of less than 1 per cent (or 17,744 individuals) compared to Round 38 when 2,182,613 IDPs were recorded (July 2021). The number of IDPs recorded during Round 39 also increased by 9,164 individuals or less than 1 per cent compared to Round 37 when 2,191,193 IDPs were identified (May 2021). When comparing the number of IDP individuals between Round 39 and Round 34 (September 2020), the number of IDPs in north-east Nigeria has increased by almost 3 per cent or 56,222 individuals during the past year. During Round 39, IDP assessments were conducted in 2,381 locations (up from 2,380 locations in Round 38) with the purpose of understanding better the gaps in services provided and the needs of the affected population. Site assessments included an analysis of sector-wide needs, shelter and non-food items, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), food and nutrition, health, education, livelihood, security, communication and protection.

This dataset contains only internal displaced persons living in Host Communities. During Round 38, site assessments were conducted in 2,380 locations. Assessed locations included 309 camps and camp-like settlements as well as 2,071 locations where internally displaced persons were living among host communities (down from 2,089 in Round 37). The purpose was to better understand the gaps in services provided and the needs of the affected population. Site assessments included an analysis of sector-wide needs, shelter and non-food items, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), food and nutrition, health, education, livelihood, security, communication and protection.
