3. READING THIS REPORTThis reports presents two types of Flow Monitoring dashboards for each country. The FMPdashboards include information on general trends and types of travelers (age, gender,nationality, type of migration), while the FMS dashboards summarize the results of keyindicators obtained from each country in which surveys were conducted, providing a moredetailed profile of the observed travelers.

4. LIMITATIONMigrants adjust their routes according to opportunities and obstacles they encounter alongtheir journey, so their intended transit and destination locations tends to change while en-route. This renders the systematic assessment of their mobility throughout West and NorthAfrica more complex. Therefore, data collected in destination locations may not alwaysaccurately reflect flows detected in transit locations. Data variations depend on migratorymovements, FM methodology and the number of staff deployed in each FMP and theircapacity to capture all movements.

5. GLOSSARY : Available at the end of the report.

Methodology and TermsFLOW MONITORING

1. INTRODUCTIONIOM works with national and local authorities, as well as community-based organizations, tobetter understand migration movements in West and Central Africa. Using tools from theDisplacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) - the flow monitoring registry (FMR) and survey (FMS) -teams of enumerators work in major transit areas to monitor intra- and interregionalmigration movements.

2. FLOW MONITORING METHODOLOGYThe purpose of flow monitoring is to provide regularly updated information on the scale andprofile of population movements. This methodology has been developed to track movementflows of groups and individuals through key points of origin, transit locations and points ofdestination. The information and analysis provided by flow monitoring aims to betterunderstand and define shortcomings and priorities in the provision of assistance alongdisplacement/migratory routes.

The flow monitoring methodology includes direct observations at Flow Monitoring Points(FMPs) set up in places of entry, transit or exit in each country, as well as structuredinterviews with migrants and key stakeholders in transit points (including transportationworkers, housing workers and migration officials) to assess movement trends, routes andcountries of origin and destination. The locations of flow monitoring points are defined basedon previously conducted entry, exit and transit point assessments conducted with nationaland local authorities along main migration routes.

Two main tools constitute the flow monitoring methodology:

• The Flow Monitoring Registry (FMR) collects information on the number and frequencyof individuals transiting a particular location, through direct observation and keyinformant interviews (e.g. with bus drivers, transport companies, etc.).

• The Flow Monitoring Surveys (FMS) are conducted on a regular basis with a sample ofobserved travellers (7 individuals are chosen randomly, per day and per FMP), be theynationals or migrants in the country of the survey. Flow Monitoring Surveys gather moredetailed information about the educational and vocational backgrounds of travelers, theirintended destinations, the routes they have taken, and difficulties they have faced alongthe way.

The location of each Flow Monitoring Point determines what type of traveller may bepassing through it. Flow Monitoring Points located near borders or in large cities will be morelikely to have cross-border travelers passing through (those who intend to continue to othercountries). Flow Monitoring Points in other parts of each country may be more likely tocapture information on internal travelers moving from one part of the country to another.

Since March 2018, in addition to Kalait, two new FMPs wereinstalled in Faya and Zouarke, for a better understanding ofmigration flows in the north of Chad.

In this quarter, internal movements between the variouscities of Chad made up 69% of all flows observed.Additionally, flows going both ways between Chad and Libyaand some movements between Chad and Niger were alsoobserved during this period.

Abeche and Faya were the main cities of destination in Chad.Sebha and Mourzouq were the main cities of destination fromChad to Libya. Consistent with the results of the previousquarter, short term local movement and economic migrationremained the main types of observed movement, as with theprevious quarter.


The demographic profile of travellers hasnot changed from the previous quarter.

An increase of 4% of minors has beenobserved in this quarter.

No major variation was noted on themeans of transport.

The graph below illustrates the daily evolution of the flows observed at the Kalait, Faya andZouarke FMP between April and June 2018.

During this quarter, the largest of flows was recorded in the FMP of Zouarke (42% of all flows).This peak coincides with preparations for Ramadan as individuals travel to join family members.In May, the flows decreased slightly due to weather conditions in the north which made travelextremely difficult.

In Mali 10 FMPs are installed throughoutthe country in order to gain a betterunderstanding of the migration situationbetween Mali and cross borderingcountries.

During this quarter, Malian (35%),Guinean (27%), Ivoirian (8%), Senegalese(6%), Gambian (5%) and Nigerien (3%),were the main nationals observed, notingthat these were the main nationalitiesobserved, reflecting the nationalitiesobserved in the previous quarter.


The FMPs of Gogui, Heremakono, Tomboucto, Bamako and Place Kidal, recorded the mainflows observed in this quarter.A significant increase of the flows from Algeria and Mauritania toward Mali was observed in thisperiod, in comparison to the previous quarter.

The graph below illustrates the evolution of the flows observed at the level of the FMPs of Malibetween April and June 2018.

The daily average decreased slightly(-1%) compared to the previousquarter.The demographic characteristics ofthe individuals observed during thisquarter have not changed muchcompared to the last quarter.

PROFILE OF PERSONS OBSERVED AT FMPs IN NIGERSince February 2016, flow monitoringof individuals has been conducted intwo locations in the region of Agadez,Niger.

During this quarter, the mainlocations of departure of flows wereAgadez (Niger), Sebha (Libya) andNguezzam (Algeria).

Economic migration (39% of all flows)was the main movement observed inthis quarter.


Between April to June 2018, in addition to Nigerians (66%), Malians (5%), Libyans (4%),Guineans (4%), Nigerians (4%), and Chadians (3%) were the main nationalities observed in theboth FMPs.During this quarter, many cases of return have been observed in observed at Niger's FMPs.

This graph illustrates the daily evolution of the number of individuals observed at Niger'sFMPs. This does not reflect the totality of individuals passing through these points, but ratheran overview of mobility observed from April to June 2018. At the beginning of May, asignificant number of individuals has been returned from Algeria, hence this peak observed thisquarter.

During this quarter of 2018, thedemographic characteristics ofthe individuals observed have notchanged much compared to thelast quarter.

The means of transport usedhave decreased slightly comparedto the last quarter, and privatevehicles remain the main meansof transport used.

In March 2017, two FMPs wereestablished in Kano and Sokoto, Nigeria,where significant flows of individuals ofdifferent nationalities were observed.

69% of main flows observed went fromNigeria toward Niger, and 27% fromNiger to Nigeria.

Short term local movement andeconomic migration (together makingup 76% of all flows) were the mainmovement observed.


The main nationalities observed during this period were Nigerian (51%), Nigerien (32%),Chadian (5%), Malian (4%) and Cameroonian (2%).

A significant decrease (-37%)of individuals observed atFMPs has been recordedduring this period, incomparison to the firstquarter of the year.

The graph below illustrates the daily evolution of the flows observed at the level of theNigerian FMPs between April and June 2018. During this period, a decrease in flows coincideswith the onset of the rainy season, which leads individuals to stay home and focus on farmingactivities.
