This report, based on a questionnaire administered through a Kobo toolbox, provides insights into the profiles, experiences, needs, routes travelled and intentions of migrants transiting through Montenegro. Data was collected from 1 April to 30 June 2024. IOM surveyed 397 migrants in Reception Centers Božaj and Spuž, and active transit locations such as bus stops or at key entry and exit locations (Rožaje and Pljevlja) throughout the country.

The IOM Afghanistan’s DTM Flow Monitoring activity is designed to provide insights into the mobility patterns at Afghanistan’s border points with the Islamic Republic of Iran and Pakistan. The activity involves two interlinked exercises: the Flow Monitoring Counting (FMC), a headcount of individuals crossing the border, and the Flow Monitoring Surveys (FMS), which collect data on the profiles and intentions of randomly selected Afghan nationals. DTM FM is operational at four main crossing points (connected to Afghanistan’s National Highway) as well as seven other crossing points with Islamic Republic of Iran and Pakistan. This weekly snapshot combines information from the FM activity and various IOM sources related to cross-border movement. For a detailed explanation of the methodology used in gathering this data, the report directs readers to the section titled “IOM INFLOW DATA” on the last page.

This report presents the latest available data on recent trends concerning migration issues in Uzbekistan, drawing upon data available for January-March 2024 and providing relevant comparisons on migration trends based on information from national and international datasets that are available to the public. The report includes recent major global and regional events that are significantly impacting the migration situation in the country. The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine has impacted traditional migration corridors in the region since 2022. Furthermore, the impact of the changing labour migration flows, the increase of migration related to climate change, the growing urbanization process, the social-economic circumstances, increased irregular migration trends and other major events are also described as main contributing factors of the human mobility and migratory movements in the given period in the country.

Frequent movement at the borders with the Islamic Republic of Iran and Pakistan have been influenced by a variety of factors over the past few decades. Afghan nationals not only seek economic opportunities, international protection and safety in these countries, but often visit family or participate in short-term travel for health and other reasons1. Recently, policies and statements by officials in the Islamic Republic of Iran and Pakistan have impacted movements to and from Afghanistan. In late 2023, officials in both countries called for the expulsion of undocumented foreigners, the majority of whom are Afghan nationals, which led to spikes in returnee numbers towards the end of the year. Later, in mid-April this year, inflows rose again when a possible second phase of Pakistan’s “Illegal Foreigners’ Repatriation Plan (IFRP)” was announced in media reports. While the government of Pakistan did not end up implementing this second phase in mid-April, there were new announcements for restarts at the end of June. In response, discussions and high-level advocacy are currently taking place regarding the extension of documentation for Afghan nationals in Pakistan. The timeline of this report covers the initial media reports of the second phase restart until the official announcement. 

IOM Afghanistan re-launched its DTM Flow Monitoring (FM) activity at the beginning of 2024 to provide critical insights into current mobility dynamics at Afghanistan’s borders. Flow Monitoring is designed to track the scale and characteristics of human mobility along the borders, including volume, intended destinations, reasons for movement, and intended lengths of stay. From April to the end of June 2024, DTM counted 858,170 individuals entering Afghanistan, 532,854 leaving Afghanistan, and interviewed 81,292 regarding their reasons for movement and intentions. The following report provides findings from DTM’s Flow Monitoring exercises for the second quarter of 2024, examining trends and profiles among inflow and outflow groups to inform better targeted response mechanisms. DTM was able to expand Flow Monitoring to five more crossing points in this quarter compared to last quarter. Operations at new crossing points were started at various times throughout the reporting period, which include Abu Nasr Farahi, Dak, Bahramcha, Angor Ada, and Pathan. As a result the total flows figures in this report do not necessarily represent the total flows at these crossing points for the entirety of the reporting period. Additionally, all assessed border points fall into two categories: those connected to the National Highway, or “main” crossing points, which include Islam Qala, Milak, Spin Boldak, and Torkham, and those not connected to the National Highway, which include the five new border points and Ghulam Khan. Analyses throughout the report will reflect the differences between these types of crossing points. 

The report is structured in four sections. The first section, “Cumulative Flow Trends,” is linked to DTM’s Flow Monitoring Counting exercise. The remaining three sections are linked to DTM’s Flow Monitoring Surveys exercise.

Migratory flows from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (hereinafter, Venezuela) into Trinidad and Tobago have shown unprecedented increases since 2018. In 2019, the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (GORTT) initiated a Venezuelan Migrant Registration Framework (MRF), with subsequent re-registration exercises in 2021 and 2023. There was a total of 16, 523 registrants, which effectively legitimized their status and facilitated their access to legal employment opportunities. In that same year, the GORTT also instituted visa requirements for Venezuelan nationals to enter or transit Trinidad and Tobago.

Four years later, reports suggest an estimated total of 38,000 Venezuelan refugees and migrants will reside in Trinidad and Tobago by the end of 2023.1 Accordingly, geographic proximity and evolving political and socio-economic realities continue to motivate migration flows to Trinidad and Tobago. Notwithstanding, local authorities and past Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) reports have confirmed increased irregular entries.

Given these dynamics, the 2023 DTM maintains the timely and consistent annual opportunity to explore the variable situation of Venezuelan nationals as they attempt to address their socio-economic vulnerabilities and explore sustainable livelihoods within Trinidad and Tobago. The International Organization for Migration’s (IOM’s) DTM is a system to track and monitor displacement and population mobility. It is designed to capture, process, and disseminate critical multi-layered information on the movement, challenges, and needs of displaced and mobile populations, regularly and systematically. Hence, the DTM affords decision-makers and responders evidence-based insights to guide specific interventions to targeted vulnerable populations.

In this 2023 DTM edition, a total of 1,395 Venezuelan nationals were surveyed, between November and December 2023. The areas with the highest number of respondents were Chaguanas, Tunapuna/Piarco, and Penal/Debe.

This report presents the results of the fifth round of the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Flow Monitoring Surveys (FMS) implemented in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). The data was collected from 14 June to 18 August 2023, in four temporary reception centres (TRCs). IOM interviewed a total of 313 individual respondents. FMS provides a snapshot of the profiles, experiences and needs of migrants residing in TRCs in BiH. The survey asks questions on demographics, education and employment backgrounds, the circumstances of the migration journey and migration factors, as well as future intentions.

This profile provides information on the most recent migration dynamics between Pakistan and Libya as well as the sociodemographic characteristics of Pakistani migrants and information on the routes they travelled to reach Libya.
