Europe — Flow Monitoring Surveys in the Mediterranean and Beyond: Afghan and Pakistani Profiles (January — November 2016)

This report contains a summary analysis of the flow monitoring surveys conducted with 4,477 Afghan and Pakistani migrants interviewed along the Western Balkans route in the period between January and November 2016. The surveys have been carried out within IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) activities in the Mediterranean established to monitor the mixed-migration flows toward Europe and identify mobility patterns as well as migrants needs, with the aim of informing relevant stakeholders and their responses to the crisis and to the migrants needs. While more than half of the Afghan respondents reported Germany as their intended destination, almost half of the Pakistani respondents reported Italy as their country of intended destination.
