ESTIMATED NUMBERS OF IDPs AND RETURNEES BY STATE

IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) provides support to the Government and humanitarian partners by establishing a comprehensive system that collects, analyses and disseminates data on IDPs and returnees to ensure timely and effective assistance to the affected populations. Data collection takes place at a granular level and is repeated at regular intervals to ensure accurate and up-to-date information.

As of June 2023, the DTM identified a total of 2,295,534 IDPs in 471,346 households and 2,075,257 returnees in 341,895 households. The IDP population included IDPs in camps and camp-like settings (921,201 individuals or 40%) and IDPs residing in host communities (1,374,333 individuals or 60%). The returnee population included IDP returnees (1,866,796 individuals or 90%) and returnees from abroad (208,461 individuals or 10%).

Data collection for IDPs took place between April and June 2023 in 2,348 localities in the six states of north-east Nigeria (Borno, Adamawa, Yobe, Gombe, Taraba and Bauchi). Data collection for returnees took place during the same assessment period in the BAY states of north-east Nigeria (Borno, Adamawa and Yobe).
