INTRODUCTION
The north-eastern part of Nigeria is affected by the Boko Haram insurgency which continue to generate the displacement of people across the borders but also inside the country. In addition to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) affected by the conflict, IDPs displaced by natural disasters and community clashes have also been identified in the north and central parts of the territory.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) in collaboration with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) started in 2014 the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) program. The DTM consist in building the capacity of the governmental institutions at national and regional levels to establish a comprehensive system to collect and disseminate data on IDPs.
The DTM assessment are currently carried-out in 13 states (Abuja, Adamawa, Bauchi, Benue, Borno, Gombe, Kaduna, Kano, Nasarawa, Plateau, Taraba and Yobe) by mixed teams composed of representatives of NEMA, SEMA, Nigerian Red Cross Society and IOM.
The DTM assessments were conducted from November to December 2015 in a total of 207 LGAs and 1266 wards.
This report includes the results of the baseline assessments conducted at Local Government areas (LGAs) and ward level as well as the data gathered through the sites assessments that were carried out in camps and camp-like sites.
In addition, the results of the registration exercise conducted for 2,094 IDP households (12,527 individuals) in Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno and Gombe are presented in this document.
With the exception of Borno, the DTM teams had full or partial access to all LGAs in the states that were assessed. In Borno, 6 LGAs were assessed: Maiduguri, Jere, Biu, Konduga, Kwaya Kusar and Bayo. Depending of the evolution of the security situation and of the resources available, the DTM program is planning to expend its activities to additional locations in Borno.
The DTM program is funded by the European Commission's Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection department (ECHO) and the
United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) is also providing financial support to the program.
