Displacement Tracking Matrix2019 | Quarter 2 Report

This component tracks numbers and locations of internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees and voluntarily relocated populations across selected states of South Sudan. Data collection is carried out in consecutive rounds and allows partners to recognize trends and evolutions in population sizes, locations and needs. Round five of mobility tracking covered 100 per cent of South Sudan’s counties and identified over 1.4 million IDPs and over 1.1 million returnees (of whom over 500,000 returned since the signing of the revitalized peace agreement) in 1,973 locations. In Q2, the IOM Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) unit released a first set of products based on mobility tracking round five data collected on movements up to March 2019. This included a first set of datasets and maps. Further releases will

include updated PowerBI dashboards and a narrative report to make information accessible to partners. Data collection for the sixth round was under way during Q2 of 2019. Funding from this project was critical to enable the establishment and maintenance of a network of enumerators in the assessed areas, who will continue to play a critical role in regular data collection. DTM worked in close coordination with the United Nations Office for Coordination and Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) to triangulate DTM data and to feed into South Sudan’s internal displacement statistics, which are circulated amongst partners on a monthly basis and form the basis for documents such as the Humanitarian Needs Overview and Strategic Response plan.

The IOM DTM team is enabling direct access to humanitarian support through biometric registration (BMR) for 821,278 individuals (56% women; 60.8% under 18), who are currently recorded in its database. During this quarter, DTM Biometric team worked in 35 locations across Unity, Jonglei, Central Equatoria, Western Bahr el Ghazal and Upper Nile, with 97,774 individuals benefiting from new registration and 4095 individuals from BMR maintenance i.e. verification/change of checkpoint or lost/stolen card replacement. Additionally, DTM assisted the World Food Programme (WFP) with monthly authentication at food distribution, identifying 312,404 households as genuine beneficiaries and de-registered 5,018 beneficiaries who missed three consecutive authentications.

In May 2019, DTM published its Malakal protection of civilians PoC adjacent area (PoCAA) intention/perception survey, implemented in coordination with UNHCR, providing critical information about return intentions and preconditions for return, whilst exploring key factors such as past and current livelihoods, displacement history, and the factors shaping decision making for return. Through intention surveys and complementary data collection, such as multi-sectoral location assessments under mobility tracking, DTM contributes to humanitarian debate about return intentions, areas of return, gaps in infrastructure and services, as well as priority needs of affected populations and of those with specific needs.

Flow MonitoringIOM has continued expanding and maintaining its Flow Monitoring component to contribute to a better understanding of migratory flows. This is inclusive of information on demography, destinations, origins and reasons for movement of migrants, including IDPs, returnees, and those moving abroad at key transit points on South Sudan’s international borders and in-country transportation hubs. Site-level Flow Monitoring measured entries and exits at PoC sites and collective centres, allowing partners to align operations to the evolving needs of site populations. DTM operated a total of 44 Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs), of which eight are at displacement sites. Of these 44 FMPs, five were newly established were newly established (with complementary funding) in the context of Ebola preparedness activities, and seven were set up in Northern and Western Bahr el Ghazal to monitor potential return movements from Sudan, especially in the context of ongoing insecurity in Khartoum, Sudan. A total of 62,202 interviews were conducted, representing 248,636 individual movements across all Flow Monitoring tools. Monthly Flow Monitoring reports with analysis of flows within South Sudan and between South Sudan and neighboring countries were published for April and May 2019.
