DISPLACEMENT TRACKING MATRIX | DTM R o u n d I V I O M A r e a R e p o r tYEMEN IDP CRISIS - April 2016

The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) is an information management tool developed by the International Organization for Migration. The DTM remains adaptable to the situation and sets out to provide a continual, up to date snapshot of displacement locations and populations. The governorate profile details information captured by the DTM Area Assessments that represent the core principle to mobility tracking.

Overview

IDPs in DTM Area of Responsibility

IDPs 8th TFPM Report2,755,916942,342443,232 Returnee Individuals

1The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) is implemented under the framework of the Task Force for Population Movement (TFPM), a working group of the Protection Cluster, co-led by IOM and UNHCR. The TFPM was established in April, 2015 as a collaborative approach to coordinate efforts and harmonize tools and methodologies among partners to track and monitor internal displacement for the whole of Yemen.

The TFPM reports through standard and agreed upon templates and timeframes, which IOM contributes to with data and national level analysis.

One year into the conflict, internal displacement in Yemen is still on the rise. According to the 8th and most recent report of the TFPM released in April 2016, 2,755,916 people have been internally displaced in Yemen since the crisis erupted in late March 2015.

Within the structure and agreements of the TFPM, IOM is responsible for displacement tracking across 12 governorates; Abyan, Al Bayda, Al Mahara, Aden, Al Dhale’e, Al Jawf, Hadramaut, Ibb, Lahj, Shabwah, Socotra, Taizz.

Across IOMs area of responsibility within the framework of the TFPM and as of April 2016, the DTM field staff identified and validated the locations of 942,342 individuals displaced by conflict (157,057 HHs) and 443,232 individuals who had returned following displacement due to the conflict (73,872 HHs).

The identified IDP population is primarily in Taizz which hosts 66% or 620,934 IDPs, while the boarding governorates to Taizz of Ibb and Lahj host the next largest IDP population with 12% and 6% or 111,384 and 52,866 individuals, respectively. The remaining displaced population is dispersed throughout the other governorates.

This report presents of the latest analysis from the DTM on the numbers, demographics, areas of origin, areas of return, and movement patterns as well as the shelter type accommodated by the identified populations.

DISPLACEMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Continued displacement from Taizz to areas within the gover-

norate and into bordering districts in Ibb and Lahj Gover-

norates.

Displacement in the south and east governorates is significantly

lower and far more dispersed among different locations than

observed in the south west.

Increased return movement towards areas of origin throughout

the southern governorates.

Sex and age breakdown details a higher proportion of females

among the displaced; 27% Adult Women, 23% Adult Men,

26% Girls, 24% Boys.

In the twelve governorates covered by IOM the IDP households

are recorded at an average of 6 persons.

Taizz, which includes areas that have witnessed continuous

clashes for several months, has consistently hosted large num-

bers of IDPs. There are 620,934 individuals dispersed across 282

locations within the governorate.

As indicated in Map 1, IDP populations are generally concentrat-

ed to the west while in the south and eastern governorates there

are small and more dispersed populations. DTM identified 1,323

locations hosting 785,184 IDPs in Taiz, Ibb and Lahj (western re-

gion), while in the remaining 9 governorates (south and eastern

region) there are 1,076 locations hosting 157,158 IDPs.

While Socotra host no IDPs triggered from conflict, DTM field staff

have also monitored displacement caused by natural disasters.

These statistics are reported separately to the conflict related

numbers and are indicated in table 2.

RETURNEES

While IDP populations can clearly be seen in Map 1 as concen-

trated in the west of IOMs area of responsibility. Returnee popu-

lations can primarily be observed in the south in Aden and Lahj

with 300,912 and 63,510 individuals, respectively. Other return-

ee populations are dispersed in some of the eastern gover-

norates of Yemen as indicated in Table 3.

TABLE 3: DISTRIBUTION OF RETURNEE HOUSEHOLDS AND INDI-

VIDUALS BY GOVERNORATE OF RETURN - CONFLICT

DISPLACEMENT ORIGIN

The majority of IDPs have originated from Taizz with 81% of the

identified population (or 765,594 individuals) fleeing from conflict

in the governorate.

As can be observed in Map 2, a north-south movement of IDPs is

lower than observed movement within the southern region. Of the

identified IDP population, the majority have displaced from south-

ern governorates or from areas within their own governorate.

Of the 59,472 IDPs identified to have fled Amanat Al Asimah in

the north, 40% fled to Al Jawf, 23% to Al Dhale’e, 18 % to Ibb and

15%al Baydah.

The geographic distribution of the returnee population across

the south is a result of the end to frontline hostilities within these

areas.

Similar to observed trend of the sex and age of the IDP popula-

tion the returnee population consists or a higher proportion of

females among the displaced; 28% Adult Women, 24% Adult

Men, 24% Girls, 22% Boys.

PERIOD OF DISPLACEMENT

The majority of the identified population of approximately 565,405

individuals fled their homes in the first months at the start of the

conflict in March 2015; between April and July. The next significant

wave of displacement in the governorates covered by IOM was in

November, 2015 as 232,956 IDPs displace from Taizz gover-

norate as the conflict flared in several districts in the governorate.

SHELTER TYPE

The DTM field staff identified eight shelter arrangements which

IDP populations had sought refuge, these include rented housing,

host families (rented), host families (non-relatives), out of settle-

ment arrangements with relatives and friends, rented arrange-

ments, public or private buildings, schools, health facilities or reli-

gious buildings, informal settlements

In 2,225 of the 2,399 identified IDP populated locations, house-

holds have sought refuge with relatives, while in 1,035 locations

there are IDPs hosted with friends, and in 1,023 locations IDP

households have arranged rented accommodation.

Although in a much smaller number of locations, it is important to

note that there are IDPs in un-conventional accommodation.

These shelter arrangements have been identified in 423 distinct

locations. In 203 of these locations there are IDP households ac-

commodated in public or private buildings while in 193, which may

include the same locations as those identified with IDPs in public

or private buildings, there are IDPs in schools, health facilities or

religious buildings, these locations are primarily in Taizz and Lahj.

There are 104 locations with IDPs accommodated in informal set-

tlements.

METHODOLOGY

As co-lead to the TFPM, IOM holds the responsibility to track and

monitor displacement in 12 governorates throughout Yemen. IOM

deployed the systematic and methodical approach of its Dis-

placement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in these areas.

The DTM is an IOM information management tool that gathers

specific data on the status of displaced persons through a dedi-

cated field presence of 125 staff and extensive key informant.

The DTM identifies both IDP and returnee locations to the small-

est geographical division (urban: neighborhood, and rural: village)

capturing coordinates while matching the identified locations to

the OCHA Common Operational Dataset (P-codes) to develop an

operational baseline. This information is captured in monthly

rounds yp provide frequent updates to the baseline captured

across IOMs area of responsibility.

The methodical approach of the DTM is adaptable and progres-

sive and will overtime strive to evolve to capture additional detail

when and where the situation and capacity allows. In addition, the

baseline captured through DTM will allow the methodology to ex-

pand and incorporate cross-sectorial location assessments.
