Displacement over time This figure reports the number of IDPs and returnees since April 214 and July 215 respectively. As of 31 August 218, there are more than four million individuals who have returned to their home location and less than two million identified IDPs. Following completion of Round 12 Baseline activities, the DTM has identified 1,92,456 IDPs (671,449 families) who were displaced after January 214, dispersed across 14 districts, 18 governorates and 3,325 locations in Iraq. For the same period, DTM also identified 4,28,684 returnees (671,449 families) across 8 governorates, 38 districts and 1,479 locations. The total number of identified IDPs decreased by approximately two per cent during the month of August. Decreases were recorded across all of Iraq s 18 governorates with the largest drops in (6,78 individuals) and Baghdad (5,772 individuals). The returnee population increased by two per cent (72,84 individuals) during the month of August, continuing the slower upward trend in the nuber of returns. The majority of returns were to the governorate of Ninewa (5,88 individuals), mostly to Mosul district (41,616 individuals).

The August DTM reported a five per cent decrease (8,466 individuals) in the number of IDPs living in critical shelters.

METHODOLOGY METHODOLOGY IOM s DTM aims to monitor displacement and provide accurate data about the IDP and returnee population in Iraq. Data is collected through IOM s Rapid Assessment and Response Teams (RARTs), composed of 123 staff members deployed across Iraq. Data collection for round 1 took place from 1 July to 31 July 218 across 18 governorates. Data from the IDP Master List and Returnee Master List is gathered through a well-established large network of over 9,5 key informants that includes community leaders, mukhtars, local authorities and security forces. Additional information is gathered from government registration data and partner agencies. IOM RARTs collect Master List data continuously and report it biweekly. However, limited access due to security issues and other operational constraints can affect information-gathering activities. The variation in displacement figures observed between different reporting periods, in addition to true variation of the population figures, may be influenced by other factors such as the continuous identification of previously displaced groups and the inclusion of data on secondary displacements within Iraq. The displaced populations are identified through a process of collection, verification, triangulation and validation of data. IOM continues to closely coordinate with federal, regional and local authorities to maintain a shared and accurate understanding of displacement across Iraq. To facilitate analysis, this report divides Iraq into three regions: the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) includes Dahuk, Sulaymaniyah and Erbil Governorates; the South includes Basrah, Missan,, Thi-Qar, Qadissiya and Muthana Governorates; the Central North includes Anbar, Babylon, Baghdad, Diyala, Kerbala,, Ninewa, Salah al-din and Wassit Governorates. The methodology uses the following definitions: The number of individuals is calculated by multiplying the number of families by six, the average size of an Iraqi family. The DTM considers as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) all Iraqis who were forced to flee from 1 January 214 onwards and are still displaced within national borders at the moment of the assessment. The DTM considers as returnees all those displaced since January 214 who return to their sub-district of origin, irrespective of whether they have returned to their former residence or to another shelter type. The definition of returnees is not related to the criteria of returning in safety and dignity, nor with a defined strategy of durable solution. The location is defined as an area that corresponds either to a sub-district (i.e. fourth official administrative division), a village for rural areas, and a neighbourhood for urban areas (i.e. fifth official administrative division). Habitual residence is the same residence prior to displacement. Private settings include rented houses, hotels/motels and host families. Critical shelters include informal settlements, religious buildings, schools and unfinished or abandoned buildings.

The information in the DTM portal is the result of data collected by IOM field teams and complements information provided and generated by governmental and other entities in Iraq. IOM Iraq endeavors to keep this information as up to date and accurate as possible, but makes no claim expressed or implied on the completeness, accuracy and suitability of the information provided through this report. Challenges that should be taken into account when using DTM data in Iraq include the fluidity of the displaced population movements along with repeated emergency situations and limited access to large parts of the country.
