Reports

Le 30 janvier 2020, l’OMS a déclaré que la maladie due au nouveau coronavirus (COVID19), parti d'une épidémie discrète à Wuhan, en Chine, constitue une urgence de santé publique de portée internationale puis comme une pandémie le 11 Mars 2020. Depuis la déclaration du 1er cas le 13 Mars 2020, le nombre de cas en République de Guinée connais une évolution assez rapide. Pour faire face à cette situation, le gouvernement a annoncé le 26 mars 2020 l'instauration de l'état d'urgence, la fermeture des frontières hors trafic de marchandises, la fermeture des écoles et des lieux de culte et l'interdiction des rassemblements de plus de 20 personnes.

The DTM Monthly Regional Update contains consolidated summary updates and highlights from DTM field operations. This document covers updates from the regional network of flow monitoring of migrants, as well as the tracking and monitoring of internal displacement in the countries. It is published on a monthly basis and covers the West and Central Africa Region.

IOM COVID-19 Impact on Points of Entry Weekly Analysis is meant to serve IOM Member States, IOM, UN and voluntary partner agencies, the civil society (including media) as well as the general population in analysing the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on Points of Entry. It is particularly relevant when identifying and addressing specific needs faced by migrants and mobile populations, disproportionately affected by the global mobility restrictions.   The report is based on information provided by IOM field staff, using resources available at the IOM country office level and is accurate to the best of IOM’s knowledge at the time of compilation. All information is being constantly validated, including the geolocation and attributes, and through regular assessments and triangulation of information. The updates depend on the time frame within which the information becomes available and is processed by IOM. For this reason, the analysis is always dated and timestamped in order to reflect the reality at a given time. However, as the situation continuously evolves and changes, despite IOM’s best efforts, the analysis may not always accurately reflect the multiple and simultaneous restrictive measures being imposed at a specific location.

IOM COVID-19 Impact on Key Locations of Internal Mobility Weekly Analysis is meant to serve IOM Member States, IOM, UN and voluntary partner agencies, the civil society (including media) as well as the general population in analysing the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on different key locations impacting internal mobility. It is particularly relevant when identifying and addressing specific needs faced by migrants and mobile populations, disproportionately affected by the global mobility restrictions.  The report is based on information provided by IOM field staff, using resources available at the IOM country office level and is accurate to the best of IOM’s knowledge at the time of compilation. All information is being constantly validated, including the geo-location and attributes, and through regular assessments and triangulation of information.

Suite à la fermeture des frontières en Ethiopie et aux renforcements des contrôles frontaliers au Yémen, certains des migrants qui transitaient par Djibouti afin d'aller vers la péninsule arabique se sont retrouvés bloqués à Djibouti. Ces migrants vivent dans différents sites installés le long de la route migratoire.  La Matrice de suivi des déplacements (Displacement Tracking Matrix – DTM), à travers ses équipes d’énumérateurs déployés sur le terrain collecte quotidiennement des données concernant les sites de migrants dans tout le pays.  La quasi totalité de ces migrants sont Ethiopiens.

During the month of May 2020, 11,449 movements were observed at flow monitoring points in Djibouti. The daily average movements have increased by 69% in comparison of the 6,763 movements observed in April. This accrual is caused by the resumption of internal movements following the gradual deconfinement since May 17, 2020.  The intended final destinations were Djibouti (89%) mainly due to lifting restrictions on internal movements during reopening of the economy, Ethiopia (8%), the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (2%) and the remaining nationalities with (1%).  The majority of the observed population were male (61% adults and 6% children), while 33% of identified persons were female (28% adults and 5% children). The identified persons were mainly travelling for economic reasons (27.4%) and food insecurity reasons (26.5%).  During this period, migrants were not tracked in Djibouti’s western borders flow monitoring points. Nonetheless, 37 migrants have been tracked upon arrival in Yemen at the Al-Aarah FMR in Lajh governorate. These migrants had reportedly departed from Djibouti.  Since the border closure, enumerators were raising awareness on the COVID-19 pandemic for all population at divers FMPs, including for Djibouti nationals.

Pendant le mois de mai 2020, 11 449 mouvements ont été observés aux points de suivi des flux de population à Djibouti. Cela représente une augmentation de 69% par rapport aux 6 763 mouvements observés pendant le mois d’avril. Cette augmentation est due à la reprise des mouvements internes suite au déconfinement progressif depuis le 17 mai 2020.  Les destinations envisagées étaient Djibouti (89%), l’Ethiopie (8%) et l’Arabie Saoudite (2%).  La grande majorité des personnes observées étaient des hommes (61% d’adultes et 6% d’enfants). 33% de personnes identifiées étaient des femmes (28% d’adultes et 5% d’enfants). Les personnes identifiées se sont principalement déplacées pour des raisons économiques (27,4%) et à cause d’insécurité alimentaire (26,5%).  Aucune entrée de migrants en provenance des frontières ouest de Djibouti n'a été enregistrée aux points de suivi des flux de population en mai. Seuls 37 migrants éthiopiens sont arrivés par bateau au Yémen près du point de suivi de flux de population d'Al-Aarah en provenance de Djibouti.  Depuis la fermeture de la frontière, les enquêteurs sensibilisaient l'ensemble de la population à la pandémie de COVID-19 dans divers FMP, y compris pour les ressortissants djiboutiens.

In Afghanistan, DTM employs the Baseline Mobility Assessment tool, designed to track mobility, determine the population sizes, locations and geographic distribution of forcibly displaced, return and migrant populations, reasons for displacement, places of origin, and times of displacement, as well as basic demographics, vulnerabilities and priority needs. Data is collected at the settlement level, through community focus group discussions with key informants and direct observations. As of 31 December 2019, 34 provinces, 392 districts and 11,671 settlements have been assessed, including interviews with 62,214 key informants. Between 2012 and December 2019, 3,451,510 returnees and 4,350,900 IDPs currently living in host communities were identified.

Some 33,200 children arrived in Greece, Spain, Italy, Malta, Bulgaria and Cyprus between January and December 2019 (38% girls and 62% boys). Child arrivals in Greece, Spain, Italy and Bulgaria in 2019 increased by 7% compared to child arrivals in 2018 (30,085). Some 9,000 of all children who arrived in Greece, Spain, Italy, Malta, Bulgaria and Cyprus in 2019 were unaccompanied and separated. Over 17,500 children 28% boys and 24% girls) were under resettlement procedures to Europe in 2019. Out of the total number of children (202,945) who sought international protection in Europe between January and December 2019, 71% were registered in just four countries: Germany (35%), France (13%), Greece (12%) and Spain (11%).

The current outbreak of COVID-19 has affected global mobility in the form of various travel disruptions and restrictions.  To better understand how COVID-19 affects global mobility, IOM has developed a global mobility database to map and gather data on the locations, status and different restrictions at PoEs, globally. This report looks at data for countries in the European Economic Area (EEA) region. It also looks at the impacts on stranded  migrants and other populations such as tourists who are affected by the changes in mobility measures using a compilation of inputs from multiple sources,  including from IOM staff in the field, DTM reports on flow monitoring and mobility tracking as well as from trusted media sources. IOM has assessed 4,809 total locations (including PoEs, internal transit points, areas of interest and sites with population of interest) in 176 countries, territories and areas as of May 2020. At the same time, in the EEA region, 976 locations in 29 countries, territories and areas (C/T/As) were assessed. Of these, 49 per cent were land border crossing points, 16 per cent airports and assessed points were blue border crossing points (sea, river and lake ports), respectively, 8 per cent were areas of interest and 11 per cent sites with population of interest. Finally, only 2 locations assessed were internal transit points between cities and regions, hence constituting a remarkably small proportion of the percentage of total assessed locations being reflected as less than 1 per cent. For this reason, the focus area of this report is only on the PoEs, areas of interest and sites of population of interest. Of all assessed locations in the EEA region, 22 per cent were reported as fully closed, 27 per cent were reported to be partially operational, and 31 per cent of assessed locations were fully operational. At the same time, 20 per cent of all the assessed locations were reported as other.
