The mixed migratory movements of Nicaraguan nationals to Costa Rica are a constant trend, intensifying due to political, economic and social factors and representing continuous challenges for both countries in the search for answers in terms of migration policies, which include solutions in employment, education, access to basic services, among others.

During May 2024, the General Directorate of Migration (DGME, by its Spanish acronym) of Costa Rica registered a total of 41,235 migratory movements (46% entries and 54% exits), which also represented, compared to April, a decrease of 18%. in entries and a 15% increase in exits. On the other hand, from May 15 and 31, IOM in Costa Rica registered 10,211 migratory movements at two unofficial border points (41% entries and 59% exits).

Understanding the border dynamics of those who cross it is fundamental in comprehending the needs of the migrant population and formulating proposals for their attention. Given these challenges, it is essential to have updated information on the sociodemographic profile, migration motives, needs, and dynamics of Nicaraguan migration movements at the northern border of Costa Rica.

Suite à la publication de la première édition du rapport PROGRESS 2023, la Matrice de suivi de déplacement (Displacement Tracking Matrix, en anglais (DTM)) de l'Organisation Internationale pour les Migrations (OIM) a compilé une série de profils nationaux de déplacement basés sur les chiffres de la fin de l'année 2023. Ces profils offrent un aperçu des derniers chiffres de la fin de l'année 2023, s'alignant sur les objectifs définis par la task-force "Données pour des solutions au déplacement interne" (DSDI), (Data for Solutions to Internal Displacement Taskforce, en anglais (DSID).

Le profil fournit une vue d'ensemble des répartitions démographiques et géographiques des personnes déplacées de la République Centrafricaine à la fin de l'année 2023. Il se penche sur les principales zones d'origine et de déplacement des personnes déplacées, en mettant en exergue les facteurs qui influencent leur processus de prise de décision concernant la sélection des lieux de solution. En outre, le rapport examine les obstacles rencontrés par les personnes déplacées dans leur recherche de solutions durables.

Cette compilation souligne le rôle essentiel des données dans la résolution des problèmes de déplacement interne et met en lumière les efforts en cours pour tirer parti de solutions fondées sur des données grâce à des initiatives de collaboration telles que la DSDI (en anglais DSID).

The Oblast Profiles draw from data collected during Round 16 of IOM Ukraine’s General Population Survey (GPS), with an emphasis on demographics & displacement, the adoption of coping strategies to meet needs, employment & income, and housing. These granular insights, categorized by population group at the oblast level, aim to inform strategic, programmatic, and operational decision-making.

Following the release of the first edition of PROGRESS 2023 report, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has compiled a series of National Displacement Profiles based on end of year 2023 figures. These profiles offer insights into the latest end-of-year 2023 figures, aligning with the objectives outlined by the Data for Solutions to Internal Displacement Taskforce (DSID).

The profile provides a comprehensive overview of the demographic breakdowns and geographical distribution of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the Central African Republic as of the end of 2023. It delves into the primary areas of origin and displacement for IDPs, shedding light on the factors influencing their decision-making processes regarding the selection of solutions locations. Additionally, the report discusses the obstacles encountered by IDPs in their pursuit of durable solutions.

This compilation underscores the critical role of data in addressing internal displacement challenges and highlights the ongoing efforts to leverage data-driven solutions through collaborative initiatives like DSID.

Following the release of the first edition of PROGRESS 2023 report, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) carried out focus group discussions to understand the nuances of the effects of displacement from the perspectives of individuals who were displaced, had returned or were part of communities which hosted IDPs. The focus group discussions served as a forum to share viewpoints that are not often captured by traditional data collection exercises, including affected communities' perceptions of cultural and gendered effects of displacement in their communities. The discussions were conducted in local languages and translated by IOM DTM staff.

This report presents a deeper country-specific dive into the findings of the qualitative analysis of six focus group discussions conducted between 1 and 15 August 2023 in Kaga-Bandoro, with 69 representatives of IDPs, host community, and returnees. Half of the respondents were female. Some 72 per cent of respondents were between the age of 18 and 59, and the remaining 28 per cent was equally distributed between those under the age of 17 and those older than 60 years.

Baseline 2, an area-based assessment, is the second step of Mobility Tracking implemented at settlement level and aims to quantify presence of population categories. For round 3, DTM Somalia is administered across 7 regions and 29 districts in three states namely Hirshabelle, Jubaland, South-West State from February to March 2024.
