Mapping of Mobile Populations

• Why is this important?– Need to know who is coming, through which route and settling

where. What is the volume of mobility.– Need for mapping data to be rigorous.– Need for common methodology and outputs

• Developed a common methodology, tools and required outputs through a consultative process for destination and transit sites.

• Status:– Initial discussions and mapping exercises are ongoing in all the

program locations.
