The COVID-19 outbreak has restricted global mobility, whilst heightening the risk of exploitation of vulnerable populations. This report provides a snapshot of the COVID-19 epidemiological situation and mobility restrictions, and of the current migration trends along the Eastern Corridor migration route, in addition to an analysis of the impact that movement restrictions have had in Djibouti, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Yemen. Moreover, it provides information on the main protection concerns for migrants and assistance provided, and COVID-19 risk mitigation measures. This report utilizes data collected through IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs), Migration Response Centres (MRCs),1 Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration (AVRR) data, as well as anecdotal information provided by IOM team members working in the region

19. januara 2021, deveta zajednička vježba provedena je od strane IOM-a u Bosni i Hercegovini (BiH) zajedno sa Službom za poslove sa strancima (SPS), uz podršku Crvenog križa (CK) Federacije BiH (FBiH) kako bi prikupili informacije o broju migranata i tražioca azila koji se trenutno nalaze u državi. Svrha ove redovne vježbe je da se pruži okvirni broj migrantske populacije koja nije smještena niti registrovana u jednom od Privremenih prihvatnih centara (PPC) u bilo kojem trenutku. Raspoređeno je ukupno trinaest timova, sačinjenih od 38 popisivača (28 muškaraca i 10 žena), uz dodatnih 10 inspektora SPS-a (7 muškaraca i 3 žene) i 10 uposlenika CK (6 muškaraca i 4 žene). Vježba prikupljanja podataka je provedena u 7 kantona Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine  (FBiH) i po prvi put na 36 lokacija unutar Republike Srpske (RS). Ukupno je posjećeno 205 lokacija u 31 općini, i to: 76 lokacija u 5 općina Unsko-sanskog kantona, 34 lokacije u 6 općina Kantona Sarajevo, 32 lokacije u 10 općina Tuzlanskog kantona, 19 lokacija u 4  općine Hercegovačko-neretvanskog kantona, 4 lokacije u 4 općine Zapadno-hercegovačkog kantona, 2 lokacije u 2 općine u Bosansko-podrinjskog kantona, 2 lokacije u 2 općine u Kantonu 10, 7 lokacija u Zvorniku, 5 lokacija u Višegradu, 4 lokacije u Bijeljini, 3 lokacije u Bratuncu, 3 lokacije u Rudom, 2 lokacije u Banja Luci, 2 lokacije u Foči, 2 lokacije u Rogatici i 1 po jedna lokacija u Gradiškoj, Kostajnici, Kozarskoj Dubici, Milićima, Novom Gradu, Prijedoru, Srbcu i Vlasenici.

Ukupni broj uočenih migranata na posjećenim lokacijama je 367, od koji je 366 izjavilo da nisu smješteni ni u jednom od PPC-a u
BiH. Broj migranata uočenih u Rundi 09 je relativno nizak, što je u skladu sa prethodnom rundom.

On 19 January 2022, the ninth joint data collection exercise was conducted by IOM Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), together with the Service for Foreigners’ Affairs (SFA), and the support of the Red Cross (RC) Federation of BiH (FBiH) to collect information on the number of migrants and asylum seekers present in the country. The purpose of the regular exercise was to provide an estimation of the migrant population (stock) that was not accommodated or registered in any official Temporary Reception Centres (TRCs) at any given date. Thirteen teams were deployed for a total of 38 enumerators (28 males and 10 females), plus 10 SFA staff (7 males and 3 females) and 10 RC staff (6 males and 4 females). The data collection exercise was implemented in 7 Cantons of the FBiH and, for the first time, in 36 locations in Republika Srpska (RS) entity. A total of 205 locations in 48 different municipalities were visited: 76 locations in 5 municipalities in Una-Sana Canton, 34 locations in 6 municipalities in Sarajevo Canton, 32 locations in 10 municipalities in Tuzla Canton, 19 locations in 4 municipalities in Herzegovina – Neretva Canton, 4 locations in 4 municipalities in West Herzegovina
Canton, 2 locations in 2 municipalities in Bosnian Podrinje Goražde Canton, 2 locations in 2 municipalities in Canton 10, 7 locations in Zvornik, 5 locations in Višegrad, 4 locations in Bijeljina, 3 locations in Bratunc, 3 locations in Rudo, 2 location in Banja Luka, 2 locations in Foča, 2 Locations in Rogatica, and 1 location in Gradiška, Kostajnica, Kozarska Dubica, Milići, Novi Grad, Prijedor, Srbac and Vlasenica respectively.

The total number of migrants observed in the locations covered was 367, out of which 366 stated that they were not accommodated in any of the official TRCs in BiH. The number of migrants observed in Round 09 remains relatively low, which is in line with the previous round.

In order to better understand migratory movements and trends in West and Central Africa, IOM, through the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), implements the activity of monitoring flows of populations (Flow Monitoring, FM). In Niger, the DTM collects data at 7 Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs), in order to identify areas with high cross-border and intra-regional mobility and collect data on mobility trends and profiles. and journey of travellers in the country. This report presents the data obtasined through the flow recording activities in December 2021, at the level of the seven FMPs installed in Niger.

Afin de mieux comprendre les mouvements et tendances migratoires en Afrique de l’Ouest et du Centre, l’OIM, à travers la Matrice de suivi des déplacements (Displacement Tracking Matrix, DTM), met en œuvre l’activité de Suivi des flux de populations (Flow Monitoring, FM). Au Niger, la DTM recueille des données à 7 Points de suivi des flux (Flow Monitoring Point, FMP), dans le but d’identifier les zones à forte mobilité transfrontalière et intra régionale et récolter des données sur les tendances de mobilités et les profils et parcours des voyageurs dans le pays. Ce rapport présente les données obtenues au travers des activités d’enregistrement des flux en Décembre 2021, au niveau des sept FMP installés au Niger.

Le 21 décembre 2021, suite à un conflit intercommunautaire dans la région de l’Extrême-Nord au Cameroun, 104 ménages (745 individus), constitués de Tchadiens, ont quitté les cantons de Pouce et Maouda (Cameroun), où ils vivaient depuis plus de 40 ans, pour se réfugier dans la localité de Katao (dans la sous-préfecture du Katao, département du Mayo-Mini, province du Mayo-Kebbi Est). Ces personnes sont accueillies dans le bâtiment de la sous-préfecture et ont reçu une assistance alimentaire de base de la part de la communauté hôte. Il y a des besoins urgents en vivres et articles non alimentaires (notamment couvertures, nattes et ustensiles de cuisine). Ces informations ont été collectées à travers une évaluation rapide conduite sur terrain par les équipes de l’OIM et de la Commission Nationale d'accueil de Réinsertion des Réfugies (CNARR).
