Haiti - Social : Situation in figures of IDPs
According to the latest results of the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) Displacement Monitoring Matrix (DTM), the IDP population is estimated [late August] to 369,353 people (93,748 households) in 541 camps. This represents a decrease of 5 percent, compared to June when the number of displaced persons was 390,276 (97,913 households).

Approximately half of the decline was in metropolitan Port-au-Prince, which registered a decrease of 11,904 individuals between June and August 2012. In other areas affected by the earthquake, Jacmel reported the largest decline, from 2891 to 1737 individuals between June and August 2012. The number of sites also declined during this period from 34, 575 in June 2012 to 541 in August 2012.

"This decline can be attributed to the implementation of various return and relocation programs conducted as part of the 16/6 project initiated by the government through its Housing and Public Buildings Construction Unit (UCLBP) and other similar mechanisms managed by CCCM Cluster partners (IOM, World Vision, Concern Worldwide, J/P HRO SRC)," said Luca Dall'Oglio, IOM departing Chief of Mission Haiti.

IOM states that five sites in the metropolitan area (Terrain Solino, Place des Artistes, Place Petion and Place Dessalines and Rezèvwa Boudon) were closed. Significant decline in the number of IDPs has also been registered in other camps such as Kan Neptune, Place de la Paix, Terrain de Golf and Maxo/Teren Boulos.camps.

Note that compared to July 2010, when Haiti had 1,555 camps hosting a population of 1,5 million people displaced, there is a decrease of 76%.
