El mes de noviembre estuvo caracterizado por el establecimiento de acuerdos sobre el paso fronterizo entre Perú y Chile, el 5 de noviembre se coordinaron acciones entre la Superintendencia Nacional de Migraciones de Perú y el Gobierno Regional de Tacna a fin de mejorar las medidas de control migratorio por el Complejo Santa Rosa, entre ellas se planteó: a) la ampliación del horario de atención a las 24 horas del día, permitiendo tener un tránsito migratorio más fluido; b) ya no es necesario el control sanitario dado el levantamiento del estado de emergencia por la COVID-19 en todo el territorio nacional. Asimismo, el 22 de noviembre de 2022, el gremio de transporte público y transporte interprovincial se sumó al paro nacional de transportistas generando la suspensión de las entradas y salidas de buses interprovinciales; sin embargo, en horas de la tarde se suspendió el paro, permitiendo la reapertura de las vías de acceso a nivel provincial lo cual permitió el restablecimiento de los flujos de entradas y salidas.

In 2022, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) commissioned a research study through GIST to explore the key drivers of displacement in Somalia during the 2021/22 drought. This research piece aimed at understanding the push, pull, and identity factors that have influenced displacement patterns in Bay region in the current drought. While the research targeted Bay region, the results provide broad and comprehensive insights into displacement dynamics in Somalia at large. 

A key finding from the research indicated that the availability of humanitarian assistance and geographical presence of aid actors in Somalia guides internal displacement: “humanitarian actors work in reaction to past and present displacement patterns, whereas displaced persons state upon arrival that they came because of the humanitarian assistance available on site. It is a hen and egg problem: which comes first and guides the other?"

Ante la necesidad de conocimiento de las características del desplazamiento y movilidad de la población venezolana que transita por la provincia de Tacna, la Organización Internacional para las Migraciones (OIM) ha implementado la Encuesta de caracterización a población venezolana en Tacna desde el 22 de agosto de 2022 hasta el 31 de octubre de 2022, la cual busca recopilar datos sobre sexo, edad, características de viaje, principales necesidades, asuntos de protección, país de destino y contabilizar a los miembros que conforman los grupos de viaje, a las personas encuestadas. También pretende recolectar información sobre el perfil de niñas, niños y adolescentes (NNA) que integran estos grupos de viaje (información que es proporcionada por la persona adulta tutora mayor de 18 años que acompaña a la persona menor).

IOM works with national and local authorities in order to gain a better understanding of population movements throughout Southern Africa. Through the setup of Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs), IOM seeks to quantify migration flows, trends and routes and to gain a better understanding of the profiles of observed individuals at entry, transit or exit points (such as border crossing posts, bus stations, rest areas, police checkpoints and reception centres). This report is an overview of the data collected in these FMPs from 1 to 31 December 2022.

Inter-regional migration from and within the Southern Africa is categorized along the following corridors. The Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) were set-up in several key transit locations along the corridors to track the movements of passengers: 

•Zimbabwe (Mutare) – Mozambique (Manica)

•Zimbabwe – Zambia (Chirundu)

•Zimbabwe – Botswana (Plumtree)

•Zimbabwe (Beitbridge) – South Africa

•Malawi (Mchinji) - Zambia (Mwami)

•Malawi (Karonga ) – United Republic of Tanzania

•Malawi (Mwanza) – Mozambique (Zobue) 

•Malawi (Mangochi) – Mozambique

•Mozambique (Ressano Garcia) – South Africa

•Democratic Republic of the Congo (Kasumbalesa) – Zambia

Over the reporting period a total of 87,253 movements were observed across 55 FMPs in the region. The Zimbabwe – South Africa corridor hosted the largest number of movements with 44,490 (51%) followed by the Malawi (Mwanza) – Mozambique (Zobue) corridor with 8,536 (10%) and the Democratic Republic of Congo (Kasumbalesa) – Zambia corridor with 8,373 (10%) movements reported.
