DTM IOM Displacement Tracking Matrix: Wau PoC AA & Collective Sites Flow Monitoring, 1-31 January 2018

Attachments

The flow monitoring component of DTM tracks movement flows of groups and individuals through key points of origin, transit locations and points of destination. The purpose of flow monitoring is to provide regularly updated information on the patterns and trends of population flows and profiles and intentions of IDPs on the move through specific locations. Trained enumerators collect data on two types of movements: i) internal flows within South Sudan and ii) cross-border flows to and from neighboring countries, mainly Sudan and Uganda. Depending on the location, the data is being collected by IOM or in partnership with trained local NGOs. The data collected through Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) allow partners to better understand population movements and inform humanitarian assistance.

Not all persons exiting the PoC and collective sites are returnees. Some indicate an intention to return to the site within the course of six months. During the reporting period slightly more people entered than left the sites (F.1&2). Apart from Juba (3%) and Khartoum, Sudan (3%), the vast majority of people arrived from within Western Bahr el Ghazal.
