One year since the power shift in Damascus on 8 December 2024, the Syrian Arab Republic (hereinafter referred to as Syria) continues to grapple with evolving mobility dynamics. Over the past year, Syria’s humanitarian, political, demographic, and recovery landscape has undergone a pivotal transformation, contributing to increased return movements across all 14 governorates.
The baseline assessment is a sub-component of mobility tracking, providing critical data on Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), IDP returnees within Syria, and arrivals from abroad, whether to their place of origin or a different location. This assessment provides a comprehensive overview of DTM's mobility trends among IDPs, IDP returnees and arrivals from abroad during December 2025, as well as updated baseline figures, offering insights to support humanitarian response and long-term reintegration efforts in Syria. Baseline mobility data should be read alongside Communities of Return Index findings to assess barriers to sustainable reintegration.
