Costa Rica, al igual que otros países de Centroamérica, sigue siendo un corredor migratorio clave para el flujo de personas en movilidad a través de las Américas. Este flujo está compuesto principalmente por personas de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, así como de otros países de Sudamérica, África y Asia. Según estimaciones de la OIM Costa Rica, aproximadamente 26.247 personas ingresaron al país en octubre de 2024, con un promedio diario de 847 personas. Esto representa un aumento del 1% en comparación con setiembre de 2024. Aunque el número total de personas en tránsito por Costa Rica ha aumentado, los datos reflejan una diferencia notable en las condiciones de aquellas varadas en espacios públicos en comparación con las que se encuentran en albergues. En octubre de 2024, las personas migrantes varadas en espacios públicos disminuyeron en un 26% (de 1.115 en septiembre a 886 en octubre), mientras que las personas en albergues monitoreados experimentaron un aumento del 83% (de 357 en septiembre a 654 en octubre). Aunque los albergues aún tienen capacidad para acoger a más personas, muchas personas migrantes prefieren continuar su viaje hacia el norte y permanecer en espacios públicos.

Costa Rica, like other Central American countries, continues to be a key migratory corridor for the flow of people on the move across the Americas. This flow mainly consists of individuals from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, as well as other countries in South America, Africa, and Asia. According to estimates by IOM Costa Rica, approximately 26,247 people entered the country in October 2024, with an average of 847 people per day. This represents a 1% increase compared to September 2024. Although the total number of people transiting through Costa Rica has increased, the data reflect a notable difference in the conditions of those stranded in public sites versus those in shelters. In October 2024, migrants stranded in public spaces decreased by 26% (from 1,115 in September to 886 in October), while people in monitored shelters experienced a 83% increase (from 357 in September to 654 in October). Shelters still have the capacity to accommodate more people, but many migrants prefer to continue their journey northward and remain in public spaces.

Los movimientos migratorios de personas nicaragüenses hacia Costa Rica son una tendencia constante en América Central, intensificándose por factores políticos, económicos y sociales.

Entre enero y octubre del 2024, se registraron 455.554 movimientos regulares de personas de nacionalidad nicaragüense (52% ingresos, 48% egresos). En el mismo periodo durante el 2023 se registraron 419.925 movimientos regulares (52 % ingresos y 48 % egresos). Esto representó un aumento del 8% en el 2024 con respecto al 2023. Por otro lado, por puntos fronterizos no oficiales, se han registrado 77.110 movimientos migratorios desde el 15 de mayo del 2024 hasta el 30 de septiembre, siendo el 51% egresos y el 49% ingresos.

Además, se encuestaron a 306 personas nicaragüenses (169 en puestos fronterizos oficiales y 137 en cruces fronterizos no oficiales) y 238 acompañantes (53 por puestos fronterizos oficiales y 185 por cruces fronterizos no oficiales).

Entender la dinámica fronteriza de quienes la transitan es fundamental en la comprensión de las necesidades de población migrante y la formulación de propuestas para su atención. Ante estos desafíos, es esencial disponer de información actualizada sobre el perfil sociodemográfico, motivos de migración, necesidades y la dinámica de los movimientos migratorios de persona nicaragüenses en la frontera norte de Costa Rica.

The migratory movements of Nicaraguan people to Costa Rica are a constant trend in Central America, intensified by political, economic, and social factors.

Between January and October 2024, there were 455,554 regular movements of people of Nicaraguan nationality (52% entries, 48% exits). In the same period in 2023, 419,925 regular movements were recorded (52% entries and 48% exits), representing a 8% increase in 2024 compared to 2023. On the other hand, through unofficial border points, 77,110 migration movements were recorded from May 15, 2024, to September 30, with 51% being exits and 49% entries.

Additionally, during October, 306 Nicaraguan individuals were surveyed (169 at official border points and 137 at unofficial border crossings), along with 238 companions (53 at official border points and 185 at unofficial border crossings).

Understanding the border dynamics of those who transit it is essential in comprehending the needs of the migrant population and formulating proposals for their assistance. In the face of these challenges, it is essential to have updated information on the sociodemographic profile, reasons for migration, needs, and the dynamics of the migratory movements of Nicaraguan people on the northern border of Costa Rica.

To ascertain the future intentions and aspirations of the IDPs in Katsina State, the DTM surveyed 33 LGAs where IDPs were situated. Out of the 32,281 displaced households in the state, 3,587 were interviewed. Among the households interviewed, two per cent of the respondents resided in camps and camp-like settings, while 98 per cent resided in host communities.

The issue of internal displacement in north-west and north-central Nigeria has persisted for over a decade, with a significant population of 1,092,196 people remaining displaced for extended periods. Many of these internally displaced persons (IDPs) still wish to return to their places of origin, stay in their current locations, or relocate to new areas. To better understand the IDPs' preferred durable solutions—whether voluntary return, local integration, or relocation—the Dis-placement Tracking Matrix (DTM) conducted the Intention Survey (IS). This survey was carried out between April and June 2024, targeting 17,833 internally displaced households across 181 Local Government Areas (LGAs) and 794 wards in ten states in north-west and north-central Nigeria: Benue, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kogi, Nasarawa, Niger, Plateau, Sokoto, and Zamfara. 
The survey aimed to highlight the aspirations of IDPs regarding their preferred durable solutions over the next 12 months, thereby supporting evidence-based decision-making, policy development, and program planning. A durable solution is achieved when IDPs no longer require specific assistance and protection due to their displacement and can enjoy their rights without discrimination. The survey assessed intentions such as 'return to the place of origin,' 'integrate into the current location,' or 'relocate to a new location' as indicators of the IDPs' preferred solutions.

To gain insight into the future intentions and aspirations of the IDPs in Plateau State, the DTM surveyed 15 LGAs where IDPs have been located. Out of the total 9,272 displaced households in the state, a sample of 1,326 was interviewed. Of these households, two per cent were residing in camps or camp-like settings, while the overwhelming majority, 98 per cent, were residing within host communities.

To discern the future aspirations and intentions of IDPs in Nasarawa State, the DTM surveyed thirteen (13) LGAs where IDPs were situated. Out of the total 3,989 displaced households in the state, a sample of 660 were interviewed. Of these households, 10 per cent were found to reside in camps or camp-like settings, while the overwhelming majority, 90 per cent, resided within host communities.

To understand the future intentions and aspirations of IDPs in Kogi State, DTM surveyed eight (8) LGAs where IDPs were situated. Out of the 1,944 displaced households in the state, 209 were sampled and interviewed. Among the households interviewed, 33 per cent resided in camps or camp-like settings, while the remaining 67 per cent resided in host communities.

To understand the future intentions and aspirations of IDPs in Niger State, DTM surveyed 13 LGAs where IDPs were situated. Out of the total 3,447 displaced households in the state, 532 households were sampled and interviewed. Among the households interviewed, five per cent resided in camps or camp-like settings, while the remaining 95 per cent, resided in host communities.
