DRC Displacement Data - Ituri Province - Baseline Assessment [IOM DTM]

During this round, the DTM team has assessed 6,529 villages and identified 1,360,577 internally displaced individuals and 1,212,601 internal returnees. 287,846 displaced households were identified in Ituri during this 11th mobility monitoring cycle. 114 thousand individuals have been newly displaced since the last round in August 2023. The majority of these new displaced people reside in the territories of Irumu and Mahagi. The DTM estimates that 56 percent of IDPs are women and 44 percent men. 15 percent of IDPs are children under 5 years old.

During this tenth assessment cycle covering the month of August 2023, DTM assessments identified 1,331,499 internally displaced persons (IDPs)1 residing in foster families (82% of the total, 862,412 in the last 24 months) and 50,887 IDPs living in 38 spontaneous sites and community centres2 in the province (3%). In addition, there are 248,149 PDIs (15%) at the 67 sites covered by the CCCM3 mechanism. The total number of IDPs in the province is estimated at 1,630,535 people, or about 23 percent of the total population4 in Ituri, This represents a decrease of 6 per cent from the 1,727,808 individuals in travel status at the last assessment conducted in March 2023.

The Mobility Tracking databases published contain information collected from in-person and generally on-location interviews conducted with key informants (village and community leaders) as a group relating to the situation in their villages (evaluated villages are the units/rows, not localities) in DRC. Most of the information in published datasets pertains to demographics of internally displaced (and returned) populations, including their time of arrival in a village, their area of origin, and the reason for their movement. The public numbers relating to population movements indicate the number of IDPs and/or returnees present in the village at the time of the evaluation. The database is structured in order improve reporting timeliness and data quality, considering the complexity of population movements and the rapidly evolving nature of the displacement crisis in DRC, particularly at lower levels of analysis. Nevertheless, this means that we accept a certain level of imprecision as a trade-off, for example in regard to the exact demographic breakdown of IDPs arrived in a village in a given quarter, where others arrived a different quarter of the same year.

Au cours de ce septième cycle d’évaluation couvrant le mois d’avril 2022, les évaluations DTM ont permis de dénombrer 1 697 039 personnes déplacées internes (PDIs) résidant dans des familles d’accueil (85% du total) et 35 407 personnes déplacées vivant dans 45 sites spontanés et centres collectifs dans la province (2% du total). À cela s’ajoutent les 268 838 PDIs (13%) dans les 66 sites couverts par le mécanisme CCCM. Il est estimé à 2 001 284 personnes le nombre total de PDIs dans la province, soit environ 29 pour cent de la population4 totale de l’Ituri, ce qui est comparable aux 1 765 094 personnes en situation de déplacement lors de la dernière évaluation conduite en août 2021.

À cela s’ajoutent les 203 938 PDIs (12%) dans les 50 sites couverts par le mécanisme CCCM2 . Il est estimé à 1.765.094 personnes le nombre total de PDIs dans la province, soit environ 31% de la population3 totale de l’Ituri. Ce qui est comparable aux 1 706 705 personnes en situation de déplacement lors de la dernière évaluation conduite en avril 2021.

Cet ensemble de données présente les principaux résultats de suivi des mouvements de populations dans la province de l’Ituri, à l’issue du cinquième cycle d’évaluation conduit par l’unité DTM de l’OIM.
