Baseline assessment (B2) is a component of the Mobility Tracking exercise which aims to quantify presence of population categories, reasons for displacement, length of displacement and needs within defined locations at a given time.

As of September 2024, DTM has mapped around 3,262,080 IDPs and 96,277 returnees present across 17 regions and 12,090 locations assessed. IDPs were present in 42 per cent of locations assessed (5,038 locations) and returnees were present in 3 per cent of assessed locations (405 locations).

The highest proportions of IDPs are hosted in Banadir (32%), Bay (24%) and Gedo (7%). Returnees on the other hand, were mainly concentrated in the Middle Shabelle (42%) and Lower Juba (28%) regions.
