This snapshot on nationals from Pakistan in Europe is part of the outputs of IOM’s EU-funded Displacement Tracking Matrix - Regional Evidence for Migration Analysis and Policy (DTM REMAP) project. The snapshot is divided into three sections:

Firstly, it provides information on the number of Pakistani nationals who arrived by land and sea in Europe and those who transited through the Western Balkan and Eastern Europe region in 2023. The data on arrivals and transits is made available by national authorities and then gathered by the IOM DTM team in Europe.

Secondly, it delves into the demographic distribution of Pakistani nationals residing in Europe, categorized by gender and geographical regions within Europe, utilizing data reported by Eurostat and the UK Office of Statistics.

Lastly, the report encapsulates the insights gained from the Flow Monitoring Survey (FMS) conducted by the DTM Europe team, engaging with 373 Pakistani nationals across seven European countries throughout 2023.

Following the increase in localized displacement due to fires, DTM Sudan released the following report summarizing DTM updates on displacement due to fire incidents across Sudan, from 29 April to 07 May 2024.

DTM field teams reported seven fire incidents across North Darfur (2), South Darfur (2), East Darfur (2), West Kordofan (1), and Gedaref state (1). Some fires were reportedly caused by increased temperatures and drier climate conditions, while others were due to household accidents.

Highlights 

• Fires displaced an estimated 1,900 individuals (approximately 380 households) between 29 April and 07 May 2024.
• Over 355 houses were partially damaged or destroyed by the fires. 
• The fires resulted in localized displacement: the majority of displaced households sought shelter with host communities within the same locations.

The War in Ukraine has caused massive displacement, with about 3.7 million people forced to flee their homes, land, and families. Most of them want to go back to where they came from, underlining the pressing need for a recovery and transition strategy that links humanitarian and development efforts, addresses the immediate needs of the communities affected by displacement, and prepares them for their collective future. Aware of this necessity and in line with the global action on internal displacement, the Ukrainian government, the UN, and partners are implementing a comprehensive recovery and transition plan that prioritises data-based approaches and participation so that the displaced people and their host communities can shape and achieve lasting solutions to their displacement.

This research report examines the views of the displaced and their hosts to understand their experiences, hopes, and preferences for durable solutions. It provides useful insights to inform the creation of a 'Joint Analytical Framework' in Ukraine to track progress towards solutions pathways and guide future policies and programs.

This report presents the results of the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Flow Monitoring Surveys (FMS) deployed in Italy in 2023. The data were collected from 04 August to 27 December 2023 in three Italian regions (Calabria, Friuli Venezia Giulia, and Sicily).

IOM interviewed a total of 1,451 individual respondents. FMS provide a snapshot of the profiles, experiences, and needs of migrants. The survey asks questions on demographics, education and employment backgrounds, the circumstances of the migration journey and migration factors, as well as future intentions and vulnerabilities to abuse, exploitation and violence.

Afin de mieux comprendre les mouvements et tendances migratoires dans un espace géographique donné, l’Organisation Internationale pour
les Migrations (OIM), à travers la Matrice de suivi des déplacements (Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), en anglais), met en oeuvre l’activité de suivi des flux de populations (Flow Monitoring (FM), en anglais). Le suivi des flux est composé de deux outils : l’inventaire des flux (Flow Monitoring Registry (FMR), en anglais) et les enquêtes individuelles (Flow Monitoring Survey (FMS), en anglais). Le suivi des flux a pour objectif de recueillir des données sur le nombre et les caractéristiques des personnes en déplacement dans des zones à forte mobilité, à travers des points (postes) de suivi (Flow Monitoring Points (FMP), en anglais) installés dans ces zones. Cette activité facilite la compréhension des mouvements migratoires et permet de préparer des stratégies et des réponses appropriées dans un contexte migratoire mixte motivé par des facteurs concomitants tels que les conflits et les raisons économiques. Le conflit armé sévissant au Soudan depuis mi-avril 2023, continue d’occasionner le déplacement de milliers de personnes en provenance du Soudan vers la République Centrafricaine (RCA), l’OIM en coordination avec la Commission Nationale pour les Refugies (CNR), poursuit depuis le 9 Février 2024 ses activités de Flow Monitoring Survey (FMS) et le Flow Monitoring Registry (FMR) au niveau du point d’entrée de Am-dafock, situé dans la préfecture de Vakaga à la frontière entre la RCA et le Soudan. Cette activité consiste à inventorier le nombre de personnes entrant de part et d'autre de la frontière, définir leurs profils, motivations, destinations et intentions futures. L’activité est conduite par des partenaires opérationnels de la DTM.
Ce tableau de bord présente des analyses basées sur les informations collectées entre le 09 février au 02 Avril 2024 sur un échantillon des
populations migrantes ayant franchi le point d’entrée d’Am-dafock lors cette période.

La Matrice de suivi des déplacements (Displacement Tracking Matrix, DTM, en anglais) est un outil de l’Organisation internationale pour les migrations (OIM) permettant de faire le suivi des déplacements et des mouvements de populations et d’avoir une meilleure compréhension de leurs besoins ainsi que de leurs profils, intentions et accès aux services. L’objectif de la DTM est de capturer et d’analyser, de manière régulière et à différents niveaux, les données relatives aux flux de populations et de disséminer ces données auprès des autorités et de la communauté humanitaire. Dans ce cadre, la DTM développe et partage divers produits d'information (rapports, analyses, tableaux de bord...) compilant et représentant les données recueillies, de manière à en faciliter la compréhension. Dans le souci de maintenir ses produits d’information en accord avec les besoins de la communauté humanitaire en termes d’analyses, la DTM en République centrafricaine a conduit une enquête en ligne sur l’utilisation et la qualité perçue de ses publications. Vingt partenaires ont donné des réponses à cette enquête. Le présent « Dashboard » en résume l’essentiel.

The report aims to present migration dynamics in Kyrgyzstan, drawing upon data from 2022 and 2023 from national and international datasets on migratory movements. It covers recent major global and regional developments which will continue to have an impact on internal and international migration in the country. Collection and analysis of migration data is one of the action points of the Mid-Term Work Plan for 2022- 2025 to implement the Concept of State Migration Policy of the Kyrgyz Republic for 2021-2030. Specifically, action point No. 27 stipulates that a national system of collection of migration-related statistical data shall be developed at the local and national levels. To support the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic to implement this task and contribute to evidence-based migration management IOM Kyrgyzstan Mission has established a Mobility Tracking Matrix team (MTM) in 2022.

The MTM is adapted to Kyrgyzstan context from the global DTM methodology and it is a system that tracks and monitors displacement and population mobility. It is designed to regularly and systematically capture, process and disseminate information to provide a better understanding of the movements and evolving needs.

This report presents the data for the month of March 2024, collected through direct interviews and direct observation by DTM enumerators and triangulated via a network of key informants.

The animal count was estimated at 43,772 for Kaduna State and 5,013 for Katsina State. Notably, 97 per cent of the total number of herders departed from states within Nigeria, while the remaining 3 per cent departed from Niger.
