Between 1 October and 31 December 2022, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), through its Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) methodology, deployed the Flow Monitoring Survey (FMS) across the 5 Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) in the country to assess the socio economic profile of migrants, their intentions and expectations, details about their journey and the needs they may have. The FMPs are located in Metema, Galafi, Moyale, Dawale and Tog Wochale.

During the reporting period, DTM Ethiopia surveyed a total of 3,030 migrants across the 5 FMPs. Overall, the majority of respondents departed from Ethiopia (2,673 respondents, 88.2%). In total, 1,232 out of 3,030 respondents intended to travel to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (40.7%). The most reported main reasons for migration were economic reasons (82.7%), marriage, family reunification or family formation (8.5%), conflict (5.7%) and slow environmental change (5.5%).

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 July 2023, up to six million refugees from Ukraine were recorded across Europe. At the same time, more than 20 million 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 Romania between 01 April and 30 June 2023 in various locations, such as Siret, Isaccea, Iasi county or Galati county, as well as in various settings, including transit points (e.g., train and bus stations), the Info and Community Center (run by IOM and UNHCR), collective accommodations and a food and non-food items distribution event.

Key Findings:

•Top 3 countries of stay abroad: Romania (56%), Bulgaria (16%), Germany (7%). 

•Top 3 oblasts of origin: Odeska (30%), Chernivetska (21%), Kyiv city (7%). 

•Top 3 needs upon crossing back:* food supply (18%), information (15%), support to return (11%).

•Top areas of assistance received:* food (29%), sanitary supplies (21%), accommodation (16%) and financial support (15%).

•Transport to Ukraine: car (64%), foot (16%), minibus (12%).

l’Organisation Internationale pour les Migrations (OIM) a réalisé à travers la Matrice de Suivi des Déplacements (Displacement Tracking Matrix, DTM) une évaluation multisectorielle des besoins auprès des ménages fuyant les violences au Tchad et des ménages hôtes qui les hébergent afin d’informer les stratégies et programmes des acteurs humanitaires et du gouvernement. La collecte de données a été réalisée entre le samedi 8 et le vendredi 21 juillet dans les communes de Mia-Pendé et de Bah-Bessar dans la préfecture d’Ouham-Pendé avec la participation du Projet d’Appui au Retour et à la Réintégration en RCA (PARET).

Detention Centre Profiling is a component of IOM Libya’s Displacement Matrix programme. It is a data oriented tool that routinely provides specific sex and age demographic data and key sectorial information on individuals held in Libya’s detention centres on the date of assessment.

IOM, together with the Serbian Commissariat for Refugees and Migration (KIRS), carried out a customized survey of Afghan nationals in Serbia from 23 March to 4 April 2023. IOM interviewed 100 Afghan nationals in three reception facilities across Serbia to better understand their demographic profiles as well as migration drivers and onward intentions.

Starting on 24 February 2022, the Russian Federation (RF) launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine, triggering an unprecedented humanitarian crisis across Ukraine. Since 9 March 2022, the IOM’s Data and Analytics Unit began systematically conducting a highly representative assessment of the general population in Ukraine to gather information on displacement, mobility flows, intentions, and conditions to inform targeted assistance to the war-affected population. Over the course of March 2022 to January 2023, the IOM’s Data and Analytics successfully carried out 12 rounds of the General Population Survey. Initially conducted bi-monthly and later transitioning to a monthly frequency, the results were extrapolated at both national and macro-regional levels. As of May 2023, the survey methodology underwent adaptation to generate quarterly representative data at the oblast level, thus facilitating localized analysis. This methodological note outlines the comprehensive assessment methodology and sampling design. 

The Oblast profiles are based on the IOM General Population Survey Round 13 dataset, a highly representative assessment with over 20,000 random respondents interviewed nationwide. The survey provides population data as well as insights into the needs, situation and mobility intentions of IDPs, returnees and the non-displaced population in Ukraine. The data was collected between 11 May and 14 June 2023. The population estimates for each indicator have been extrapolated using the latest update to the UNFPA baseline population in Ukraine. The Oblast profiles serve as a valuable reference point to support evidence-based decision-making for stakeholders involved in response and recovery efforts in Ukraine, providing key definitions and data points related to population mobility, pathways to durable solutions, and vulnerabilities associated with displacement.
