OVERVIEWThe Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) is an integrated suite of tools used to capture the movement and trends of a mobile population. IOM tracks and monitors the movement of displaced populations as well as the conditions in which they are living, enabling timely identi�cation of vulnerable groups and their needs, thus strengthening the coordinated e�orts of all humanitarian actors. West Darfur State is �anked by North and Central Darfur states and also shares a border with Chad. During 2015, IOM undertook DTM registration ofreturnees in all eight localities of West Darfur– e�ectively the entire returnee caseload in the state.

METHODOLOGYFollowing requests from the RRWG and HAC, the DTM team in West Darfur, together with HAC, undertook door-to-door registration of all returnees in the state. Led by an experienced IOM DTM staff, the team used a Returnee Tracking Questionnaire, a standardized Global DTM tool, which was modified for the Sudan context. Following IOM’s Data Protection Principles, the questionnaire responses are entered into IOM’s returnee database, after which a verification process is undertaken where the information is examined to ensure data accuracy.

Type of returns

The majority of returnees (98%) had returned permanently. However2% only returned seasonally, most commonly for livelihoods purposeseither during periods of relative calm, or during speci�c seasons relatedto agriculture. All returns in West Darfur are spontaneous rather thanorganized returns.

Demographics of returnee population

22% under 5yrs of age39% aged between 5-17yrs32% aged between 18-59yrs

7% aged over 59yrs50:50 ratio between males and females

Areas of displacement

The majority (57%) of returnees in West Darfur originated from outside of Sudan, speci�cally from Chad, with Jebel Moon and Forobranga hosting the greatest number at 30,927 and 13,965 returnees respectively. Almost half of the returnees (42.5%) came from within the state itself (W. Darfur) and a minority (0.5%) came from South and Central Darfur.

Areas of return

The returnees were located in 155 villages across the 8 localities of West Darfur, with the highest percentage of returnees in Jebel Moon (28%), Habila (19%) and Forobanga (14%).

Gaps in areas of return

According to data gathered by IOM’s Village Assessment project which was implemented in 2014, the three localities that current accommodate the greatest number of returnees; Jebal Moon, Habila and Forobranga are highly under-served in terms of health facilities and education. InJebel Moon for example, only 2 functioning health clinics exist in the locality. In Habila, only 15 functioning schools exist– 12 at primary level, 2 Koranic/Khalwa schools and a single (1) kindergarten. In Forobranga, there are only 3 functioning clinics in the whole locality. For more information, on the village assessment please contact Riad Marrow at rmarrow@iom.int

Vulnerabilities of returnee population

A total of 13,063 individuals, or 10.3% of the returnee population wereregistered as being vulnerable. Of this group, the highest percentage,13% are single parents and 13% are lactating women. Pregnant womenmade up 8% of the vulnerabilities caseload. 4% of the vulnerableindividuals had physical or mental disabilities and the number ofunaccompanied minors under the age of 18yrs (490 individuals) andchild headed households (432 individuals) is alarming.

Longitudinal returnee patterns

Comparison of return data between 2004-2015 reveals that returnee numbers peaked during 2010-2011. Jebel Moon, Forobranga and Habila have consistently been the three localities receiving the greatest number of returnees across all years, with Krenek receiving a higher number during 2011-2012 only. The majority of returnees from outside of Sudan to West Darfur State has consistently been from neighbouring Chad.

Sta�ng and capacity development

One of the key areas of focus for the DTM is the development of Government and local community capacities to undertake assessments and accurate registration of vulnerable individuals. IOM works through a roster of trained enumerators who come from HAC, line ministries, local NGOs and community leaders. During 2015, over 100 people were trained in DTM registration methods and practice in the state.
