1. Executive Summary

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) Special Liaison Office (SLO) in Addis Ababa, with funding from the European Commission for Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection (ECHO), works with the Government of Ethiopia and humanitarian partners to conduct internal displacement monitoring in multiple regions in Ethiopia. The objective is to bring about timely and accurate data, on the causes, number of individuals displaced, locations of displacement as well needs verses response, in order to improve humanitarian response and to advocate for durable solutions.

The Internal Displacement Monitoring Report (IDMR) is compiled and presented on a quarterly basis. It is an activity jointly undertaken by IOM, National Disaster Management Coordination Council (NDMCC), Regional Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Bureaus (DPPBs), humanitarian partners, and NGO partners in order to ensure a more targeted, coordinated and needs based response. The quarterly IDMR for the period October to december 2015 incorporated a trend analysis comparing the same quarter in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015; with the intention to show the reader the scale, dynamics and seasonal trends of internal displacement over time.

2.Methodology

The methods used to collect data for the quarterly Internal Displacement Monitoring Report were: Key informant interviews with local authorities and IDP representatives, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), structured questionnaires i.e. IOM Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) and IDP registrations in ‘protracted’ IDP sites. In addition, IOM used census data and government led joint multiagency assessment reports to validate the data.
