IOM DTM in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the state Ministry of Health have been conducting monitoring of individuals moving into Nigeria’s conflict-affected northeastern states of Adamawa and Borno under pillar four (Points of Entry) of COVID 19 preparedness and response planning guidelines.
During the period 09 – 15 January 2021, 257 movements were observed at three Points of Entry in Borno state. Of the total movements recorded, 38 were incoming from Extreme Nord in Cameroon.
A range of data was collected during the assessment to better inform on migrants’ nationalities, sex, reasons for moving, mode of transportation and timeline of movement as shown in figures 1 to 4 below.
