The International Organization for Migration (IOM), in collaboration with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), released the report for Round 30 of the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in Nigeria. This report encompasses the data collected during the assessments conducted in Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe by NEMA, SEMA, Red Cross and IOM from 04 to 22 November 2019. Key highlights include:

• For Round 30, 2,039,092 individuals were recorded as displaced in the affected states, indicating a stabilization in numbers as it is slightly higher (an increase of 3,860 people) than 2,035,232 internally displaced persons (IDPs) that were recorded in Round 29 which was published in November 2019. Similar trend was observed in previous two rounds of assessment since August 2019.

• The figure is slowing inching above the number of displaced persons recorded in Round 25 (2,026,602), which was conducted before escalating violence was observed in October 2018. During Round 25, a higher number of Local Government Areas (LGAs or districts) and wards were accessible. Given that the numbers of IDPs is increasing slowly although accessibility remains low, it can be inferred that the actual displacement figures could be much higher.

• Site assessments were conducted in 2,375 locations - 293 (no change from the last round of assessment) camps and camp-like settings and 2,082 locations (down from 2,095 in last round of assessment) where IDPs were residing with host communities.

• This report includes analyses on the increasing number of returnees, profiles of their initial displacement, shelter conditions of returnees, and health, education, livelihood, market, assistance and WASH facilities available to the returnees.
