L'OIM a mis en oeuvre le premier MSNA au Burundi en août 2022, en collaboration avec le gouvernement du Burundi, le système de clusters et les agences internationales et nationales qui ont toutes contribué  à façonner l'évaluation. La MSNA fait partie des outils de la matrice de suivi des déplacements et s'appuie sur des évaluations de base basées sur des entretiens avec des KI pour évoluer vers une approche probabiliste basée sur des enquêtes au près des ménages, représentatives auniveau de la province, assurant des liens étroits et une coordination avec les processus annuels de HNO et le travail sur les solutions durables.

The 2022 Burundi's Multi Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA) conducted by IOM seeks to understand multi-sectoral priority needs of displacement-affected populations living across the whole of Burundi and the progress towards the achievement of durable solutions.
IOM implemented the first MSNA in Burundi in August 2022, in collaboration with the Government of Burundi, the cluster system and international and national agencies who all contributed to shaping the assessment. The MSNA is part of the Displacement Tracking Matrix(DTM) tools and it builds on baseline assessments based on Key Informant(KI) interviews to expand towards a probabilistic approach based on a household surveys , representative at province level, ensuring strong linkages and coordination with the annual Humanitarian Needs Overview(HNO) processes and works on Durable Solutions.

The Horn of Africa and Yemen is one of the busiest and riskiest migration corridors in the world travelled by hundreds of thousands of migrants, the majority of whom travel in an irregular manner, often relying on smugglers to facilitate movement along the Eastern Route. This regional report provides monthly updates on the complex migratory dynamics through Djibouti, Somalia, Yemen and Ethiopia based on diverse data sources and consultations with key informants in the four countries. Moreover, it provides information on the main protection concerns for migrants along the journey, information on spillover effects of the conflict in the Sudan observed at the border with Ethiopia, a specific focus on children and information on the returns from Saudi Arabia to Ethiopia, Somalia and Yemen.
