Haiti - Social : More than 60,000 Haitians still live in camps

As the lead Camp Coordination/Camp Management agency, International Organization for Migration (IOM) took the initiative to develop a unified displacement data management process, called the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), a comprehensive, multi-sectoral tracking system, was applied as a monitoring tool to track the IDP population on basic conditions in IDP sites.

Number of households and IDPs :

16,497 IDP Households or 61,302 IDP Individuals still living in IDP sites

As of 30th June 2016, the 3 communes with the highest IDP population are the following :

1. Delmas: 9,930 households corresponding 32,637 individuals

2. Croix-des-Bouquets: 2,477 households corresponding to 10,799 individuals

3. Léogane: 1,025 households corresponding to 4,200 individuals

Number of accommodation sites :

33 Displacement Sites still open, 88% are tent and makeshift shelter sites (12,958 households or 47,247 people), 12% are T-Shelter sites (3,539 households or 14,055 people).

As of 30th June 2016, the 4 communes with the highest number of IDP sites are the following :

1. Delmas: 9 IDP sites

2. Léogane: 7 IDP sites

3. Croix-des-Bouquets and Tabarre: with 5 sites each.

Carrefour, Cité Soleil, Gressier, Pétion-Ville, Port-au-Prince and Tabarre... also among the other cities containing sites.

Reduction of the displaced population :

When comparing the figures from the 26th round of the DTM to the IDP figures from 2010, a net decrease of 345,020 of the total households (or 1,475,145 individuals) identified in 2010, can be observed. Furthermore, this also represents a decrease of 1,522 sites compared to July 2010, during the height of the internal displacement in Haiti.

Since July 2010, the IDP household population has decreased by 95.4%.

From 1 April to 30 June 2016, 3 camps have been reported as closed, whereby a total of 268 households (representing 1,004 individuals) were relocated through the return program. Furthermore, there were no evictions during this round of DTM assessments.

Since 2010, 82,589 households have left camps through rental subsidy programs, leading to the closure of 545 sites.
