To collect information about the movement of people at the borders that South Sudan shares with Uganda and DRC, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Team (DTM) conducted an ongoing assessment, to highlight where additional screening points are required. Some of the areas along the border are highly insecure, and IOM has conducted these assessments with the assistance of the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) force protection. Three unofficial border crossing points (Busia, Kagori and Litoba) and one official point (Afoji) were assessed this week, with a flow ranging from 5-10 people to 30 people crossing per day observed.

DTM REPORTS Biometric Registration of Displaced RELEASED IN OCTOBER Population in Juba Enhances Accountability Biometric Registration IOM’s DTM team in South Sudan and partners recently concluded a Wau Cathedral Site Update (October) biometric registration exercise which resulted in the registration of a total Bor PoC Site Update (September) of 32,113 displaced people living in Juba PoC. Biometric registration allows for a more accurate picture of the population living in a displacement site and enables agencies to plan assistance in a more targeted and accountable Multi-Sectoral Needs Surveys way. The registration showed a significant drop (18%) from earlier figures Wau (August) dating back to a previous registration exercise, conducted in October 2016. Almost half of the decrease is due to a recent relocation of 3,379 people conducted from Juba PoC 3 site to a temporary site called Mangateen following intercommunal tensions. The registration data indicated that more than 3,600 individuals left the PoC sites for unknown destinations. IOM’s biometric registration database in South Sudan includes over 700,000 people. The Organization is working jointly with the UN World Food Programme (WFP) to further expand the use of biometric data to avoid duplication of assistance and to ensure that those receiving aid are indeed the intended beneficiaries.
