2021 Iraq Crisis Response Plan Prioritizing Support of the Displacement Tracking Matrix The crisis in Iraq saw the occupation of large areas of the country by Islamic State and the Levant (ISIL) followed by Government-led military operations to re-take ISIL controlled areas. The armed conflict led to massive internal displacement, with more than 5.8 million people displaced following the emergence of ISIL in 2014, the spread and scale of the violence resulted in country-wide and even regional instability. Since the declaration of the end of the war in December 2017, the number of returnees has exceeded that of internally displaced persons (IDPs). Since November 2017 the returns have been steadily increasing while the IDP numbers decreased. The objective of this project is to provide access to up-to-date, reliable and comprehensive information about IDP and returnee populations in Iraq, as well as their needs and vulnerabilities. This is achieved through the implementation of IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) tool and timely dissemination of results to government authorities, UN Humanitarian Country Team (UNHCT) partners, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), think tanks, media, academics and other stakeholders.
