Number of displaced persons Context and methodology Village Site Since 2015, Chad has been the target of repeated attacks by armed groups conducting an insurgency in the 1 – 2,220 1 – 3,700 Lake Chad Basin (Cameroon, Chad, Niger, Nigeria), which have caused significant internal and cross-border 2,221 – 12,491 3,701 – 13,577 population displacements. In Chad, IOM has been implementing the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) since May 2015 in Lac Province to gather updates on the number, profiles and needs of 12,492 – 30,522 13,578 – 29,374 populations displaced due to the crisis, in order to inform humanitarian and development programmes. This Displaced persons, dashboard presents key results from DTM assessments carried out with key informants between 17 February by sous-préfecture and 17 March 2021 in 228 displacement locations.

1 – 21,893 During this round of data collection, the number of displaced persons increased by 16 per cent as compared to 21,894 – 42,788 round 13. This increase can be explained by the continued worsening of security conditions since the end of 2020, mainly in the sous-préfectures of Kangalam and Ngouboua. Insecurity forced many individuals to flee their 42,789 – 79,318 homes, notably towards the sous-préfecture of Baga-Sola, where the identified displaced population increased 79,319 – 127,322 by 75 per cent as compared to round 13. In addition, key informants indicated that 21,000 individuals moved from one location to another in order to increase their chances to access humanitarian assistance. Nine locations Country boundaries host more than 10,000 individuals (see page 2). The concentration of displaced persons in certain locations could Province boundaries be further exacerbated, depending on the availability of assistance in these locations.
