Between 28 October and 8 November 2024, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), in collaboration with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the Niger State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), and the Nigerian Red Cross Society (NRCS), identified 141 locations in Niger State that were impacted by floods or received internally displaced persons (IDPs) due to the flooding. Through a network of key informants and field focal points, and in close coordination with other humanitarian partners and local authorities, the assessments were jointly conducted in these locations to provide insights to the government and humanitarian partners on the affected population's primary needs, vulnerabilities, and mobility intentions.
In the 21 local government areas (LGAs), 95 wards, and 141 locations that were assessed, the joint assessment team identified 67,893 individuals in 10,708 households affected by the floods. These individuals included IDPs displaced by the floods and residents impacted by the floods but remained in their communities. The total affected population included 4,255 displaced individuals and 63,638 non-displaced individuals.
