Assistance Coordination Unit

This dashboard monitors the population movements in Northern Syria in non-governmental areas. The data is collected from the communities and IDP camps in the targeted area by the ACU field enumerators and triangulated with various sources like the local councils and humanitarian organizations to ensure the maximum level of accuracy. The baseline was set by cross-checking the population numbers from ACU Population Monitoring and HNAP statistics. RESIDENT POPULATION: Resident populations are individuals or households living in a location and are neither displaced nor newly returned (in the current calendar year). INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS (IDPs): individuals who have been forced to flee their location of origin to another location within Syria for at least one month. RETURNEES: are individuals who returned to their community of origin within the calendar year and have stayed for at least one month after having previously fled for at least one month. Newly INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS (N-IDPs): individuals who have been forced to flee their location of origin to another location within Syria, and at the time of the data collection, their stay in the displacement sites did not exceed one month. Departures: individuals who were not in their original locations during the data collection period and had left their locations for about a month.
