Sudan Crisis
Since April 2023 and the outbreak of the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) across multiple cities in Sudan, IOM has been working to provide direct assistance to the affected population and support partners with a better understanding of displacement dynamics within the country and across its borders.
IOM Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) scaled-up population monitoring by combining Event Tracking, Mobility Tracking, and Flow Monitoring activities, to support evidence-based emergency response and long-term planning with timely and actionable data and information on most urgent needs, demographic profiles, and intentions.
DTM has active operations in Sudan, Libya, Chad, Central African Republic, South Sudan, and Ethiopia, where together with partners and national authorities, field teams capture daily figures on movements, profiles, and needs of the affected population. Data for Egypt is provided in collaboration with the Egyptian Foreign Ministry.
As military clashes continue across different parts of Sudan, particularly in Khartoum and the Darfur region, the field teams face severe telecommunication and connectivity issues. Hence, DTM Sudan data is predominantly based on remote interviews with key informants until humanitarian access is ensured across the country.
Available data on population movement is compiled and publicly available in an interactive dashboard. The dashboard provides a summary overview of internal displacement within Sudan and cross-border movement toward neighboring countries.
