In order to identify possible changes in displacement and return dynamics as a consequence of the Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS), DTM disaggregated returnee arrival periods by the following periods: 2016 and 2017; 2018 pre R-ARCSS (January – mid- September 2018); 2018 post R-ARCSS (mid-September 2018 – December 2018) and January – March 2019. Whilst national-level conflict has continued in certain areas of South Sudan, notably around Yei County in Central Equatoria State, some parts of the country have faced rising instances of intercommunal conflict, which are distinguished from conflict including national actors for the purposes of the DTM data collection exercise. However, the lines between cattle raiding, other forms of communal tensions and politically motivated violence have at times become blurred as described in the below section on internal displacement. Mobility tracking aims to quantify the presence of internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees and relocated individuals across South Sudan in displacement sites and host communities, updated in regular intervals to identify and track mobility dynamics over time. This summary represents findings for the fifth round of Mobility Tracking, conducted in South Sudan through key-informant based assessments at sub-area and location levels. METHODOLOGY The methodology comprises two interrelated tools: baseline area assessments, and multi-sectoral location assessments. 1. Baseline area assessments provide information on the presence of targeted populations in defined administrative sub-areas (following roughly the 10-state payam system), and capture information at the group level on population categories (IDPs, returnees, relocated) and attributes such as time of arrival of the target population in the assessed location, return from abroad or South Sudan, reasons for displacement and former home areas for IDPs (both captured on majority basis), presence of and dates of displacement / return, and shelter conditions. The baseline area assessment form also comprises a list of locations (defined as villages / neighbourhoods / displacement sites) hosting displaced and/ or returned populations. 2. Multi-sectoral location assessments at village / neighbourhood or site level are conducted to gather data on a more granular level, comprising sectors such as Health, WASH, S/NFI, Protection, FSL and Education. The objective of the location level assessments is to collect some key multisectoral indicators on the living conditions and needs of affected populations which can enable partners to prioritize locations for more in-depth sector-specific assessments. Key Informants: 4,994 individuals Information is obtained and triangulated through consultation with key informants, commonly comprised of local authorities, community leaders, religious leaders and humanitarian partners. In round 5, DTM consulted 4,994 key informants, of whom 1,395 at the sub-area level and 3,599 at the location level (neighbourhood, village or displacement site). Direct observation at each location in addition to the triangulation and the subsequent verification process serves to further ensure maximum accuracy of findings. SCOPE In Round 5, DTM accessed 1,973 locations (villages / neighbourhoods and displacement sites) in 444 sub-areas across every county (78) in all 10 states. This signifies an increase from 87% to 100% in coverage on a county-level and an increase in the number of locations accessed by 37% since Round 4. Locations are only assessed upon confirmation of presence of targeted populations. DTM conducted multi-sectoral assessments at 85% of mapped villages / neighbourhoods (1,621/ 1,879), and 99% of mapped displacement sites (93 / 94). 2 SOUTH SUDAN IOM DISPLACEMENT TRACKING MATRIX SOUTH SUDAN Mobility Tracking Round 5 IDPs by period of arrival at County level as of March 2019 Disclaimer: This map is for illustration purposes only.
