Since 24 February 2022, refugees from Ukraine and Third Country Nationals (TCNs) have been fleeing to neighbouring countries as a result of the war. As of May 2023, more than eight million refugees from Ukraine were recorded across Europe. At the same time, almost 13 million of border crossings of border crossings of Ukrainian and Third-Country refugees and migrants were reported from Ukraine into the neighbouring countries since February 2022.
IOM has deployed its Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) tools since mid-April 2022 to collect individual surveys in neighbouring countries with persons crossing into Ukraine, with the aim to improve the understanding of main profiles, displacement patterns, intentions and needs of those moving into Ukraine.
This report is based on surveys collected in the Republic of Moldova between 06 December 2022 and 31 March 2023 in two border crossing points, Otaci and Palanca. To improve the quality of the questionnaire, on February 16, 2023, additional questions related to the average time since initial displacement and to the assistance received while in the Republic of Moldova were included.

This report presents employment/livelihoods-related results of the integration/social inclusion survey initiated by IOM to assess the situation and living conditions of Ukrainian refugees residing in Poland. Only adults (18+) were approached, and the questionnaire was proposed only to refugees who arrived in Poland after 24 February 2022. Respondents were approached in a simple random sample by enumerators in selected locations across Poland, including collective sites, humanitarian distribution points and IOM integration centres. Face-to-face surveys were conducted in Ukrainian, Russian, Polish and English by trained DTM data collectors.

During the period of 25-27 April the DTM team in Warsaw conducted 11 focus group discussions, attended by 90 people in total, in collective sites on Woloska 7 (A and B), Jana Pawla 15 and Modlinska 6 D. The aim of this exercise was to explore the living situations of refugees residing in collective accommodation, their experiences finding employment in Poland, reasons for not relocating from collective sites and intentions for the coming months.

Les affrontements entre les Forces armées soudanaises (SAF) et les Forces de Soutien Rapide (RSF) se poursuivent depuis le mois d'avril 2023. D’après le Haut-Commissariat pour les Réfugiés (HCR), cette crise a conduit 161 619 Soudanais à demander l'asile dans les pays voisins et provoqué le retour forcé de 56 885 personnes dans leurs pays respectifs. Dans ce contexte, la ville de Ndélé (préfecture de Bamingui-Bangoran) a commencé à accueillir à partir du 18 mai 2023 une vague de 98 personnes (32 ménages) (source Commission Nationale pour les Réfugiés, CNR) qui ont été contraintes de fuir le Soudan. Ces personnes ont transité par le Tchad avant d’arriver dans la ville de Ndélé pour rejoindre d’autres membres de leurs familles ou de leur communauté déjà installés à Ndélé.

В ноябре 2022 года МОМ, используя Матрицу отслеживания перемещений (МОП), провела первый раунд базовой оценки мобильности в Кыргызстане с целью отслеживания мобильности, предоставления информации об оценке численности населения, географическом распределении трудящихся мигрантов и возвращающихся мигрантов, причинах миграции, странах возвращения и периодах миграции. МОП позволяет МОМ и ее партнерам максимально использовать ресурсы, определять приоритеты и осуществлять более целенаправленные и устойчивые программы гуманитарной помощи и развития, основанные на фактах и учитывающие мобильность населения. Для получения дополнительной информации о МОП в Кыргызстане, пожалуйста, перейдите по ссылке: https://dtm.iom.int/kyrgyzstan

Данные о перемещении в 3 целевых категориях населения (вернувшиеся мигранты, иностранные мигранты и эмигранты) собираются по времени перемещения, т.е. по годам - 2020, 2021 и 2022 гг.
