The crisis currently affecting the Lake Chad Basin states results from a complex combination of factors, including conflict with Non-State Armed Groups, extreme poverty, underdevelopment and a changing climate, which together have triggered significant displacement of populations. As of 26 November 2021, Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria were hosting an estimated 5,418,236 affected individuals made up of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), Refugees (both in- and out-of-camp), Returnees (Former IDPs and Returnees from abroad) and Third Country Nationals (TCNs). 76 per cent of the affected population (representing 4,100,676 individuals) were located in Nigeria, while 11 per cent resided in Cameroon (607,520 individuals), 9 per cent in Chad (476,943 individuals) and 4 per cent in Niger (233,097 individuals).

IOM COVID-19 Impact on Points of Entry Bi-Weekly Analysis is meant to serve IOM Member States, IOM, UN and voluntary partner agencies, the civil society (including media) as well as the general population in analysing the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on Points of Entry. It is particularly relevant when identifying and addressing specific needs faced by migrants and mobile populations, disproportionately affected by global mobility restrictions. The report is based on information provided by IOM field staff, using resources available at the IOM country office level and is accurate to the best of IOM’s knowledge at the time of compilation. All information is being constantly validated, including the geolocation and attributes, and through regular assessments and triangulation of information. The updates depend on the time frame within which the information becomes available and is processed by IOM. For this reason, the analysis is always dated and timestamped in order to reflect reality at a given time. However, as the situation continuously evolves and changes, despite IOM’s best efforts, the analysis may not always accurately reflect the multiple and simultaneous restrictive measures being imposed at a specific location.

This snapshot summarizes available data on Pakistani nationals in Europe in 2020. The first page visualizes the number of Pakistani nationals who arrived by land and sea in the European Union and those who transited through the Western Balkan and Eastern Europe region in 2020. The data on arrivals and transits is made available by national authorities and then gathered by the IOM DTM Team in Europe.1 It is important not to sum up the figures, as this could entail double counting migrants who transited through multiple countries. The second page shows numbers of Pakistani nationals residing in Europe by gender and European region as reported by UNDESA.

The snapshot is part of the outputs of the EU-funded Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) project “Regional Evidence for Migration Analysis and Policy” (REMAP). The objective of DTM REMAP is to strengthen the evidence-based formulation and implementation of humanitarian and development policy and programming on migration and forced displacement in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq and Pakistan.

From 22 September to 23 October 2021, in close coordination with provincial government and INGD partners, the International Organization for Migration (IOM)’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) teams conducted Multi-Sectoral Location Assessments (MSLA) in 59 sites hosting 192,721 internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Cabo Delgado province, 1 site with 5,934 IDPs in Nampula province, and 2 sites with 336 IDPs in Niassa province, in response to the mass displacements caused by the insecurity situation in the north. In all sites, the majority of IDPs were displaced by the insecurity situation. Of the total 198,991 individuals in the assessed sites, 62,045 (or 31%) are women, 32,022 (16%) are men, and 107,948 (53%) are children.

09 novembra 2021, sedma zajednička vježba provedena je od strane IOM-a u Bosni i Hercegovini (BiH) zajedno sa Službom za poslove sa strancima1 (SPS), uz podršku Crvenog križa (CK) Federacije BiH (FBiH) kako bi prikupili informacije o broju migranata i tražioca azila2 koji se trenutno nalaze u državi. Svrha ove vježbe je da se pruži okvirni broj migrantske populacije koja nije smještena niti registrovana u jednom od Privremenih prihvatnih centara (PPC) u datom trenutku. Sačinjeno je devet timova od ukupno 28 popisivača (22 muškaraca i 6 žena), uz dodatnih 11 inspektora SPS-a (8 muškaraca i 3 žene) i 10 uposlenika CK (6 muškaraca i 4 žene). Vježba prikupljanja podataka je implementirana u 6 kantona, 32 općine, na ukupno 187 lokacija, i to: 77 lokacija u 7 općina Unsko-sanskog kantona, 48 lokacija u 10 općina Tuzlanskog kantona, 21 lokacija u 4 općine Kantona Sarajevo, 22 lokacije u 5 općina Hercegovačko-neretvanskog kantona, 4 lokacije u 4 općine Zapadno-hercegovačkog kantona i 2 lokacije u 2 općine u Kantonu 10.

Ukupni broj identifikovanih migranata na posjećenim lokacijama je 585 od kojih je 578* izjavilo da nisu smješteni u ni u jednom od postojećih PPC-a u BiH.

On 09 November 2021, a seventh joint data collection exercise was conducted by IOM Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), together with the Service for Foreigners’ Affairs1 (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 exercise was to provide an estimate of the migrant population (stock) that was not accommodated or registered in any official Temporary Reception Centres (TRCs) at a given point in time. Nine teams were established for a total of 28 enumerators (22 M and 6 F), plus 11 SFA staff (8 M and 3 F) and 10 RC staff (6 M and 4 F). The data collection exercise was implemented in 6 Cantons, in 32 Municipalities for a total of 174 locations: 77 locations in 7 Municipalities in Una-Sana Canton, 48 locations in 10 Municipalities in Tuzla Canton, 21 locations in 4 Municipalities in Canton Sarajevo, 22 locations in 5 Municipalities in Herzegovina – Neretva Canton, 4 locations in 4 Municipalities in West Herzegovina Canton and 2 locations in 2 Municipalities in Canton 10.

The total number of migrants identified in the locations covered was 585 out of which 578 stated that they were not accommodated in any of official TRCs in BiH.

En la actualidad se estima que aproximadamente 5.6 millones de personas de nacionalidad venezolana residen fuera de su país, de las cuales 4.6 millones residen en países de América Latina y el Caribe. En la República Argentina, se estima que residen 174.333 personas venezolanas, siendo este flujo poblacional uno de los más dinámicos en años recientes en un país históricamente receptor de inmigración.

En la DTM Ronda 7 se implementó la metodología de encuestas no probabilísticas, por conveniencia, tomadas de modo presencial en cooperación con Cruz Roja Argentina. De este modo, se alcanzó a una población de 105 personas a partir de 46 encuestas en un punto de la frontera norte de la República Argentina: La Quiaca, en la provincia de Jujuy. La población objetivo de este ejercicio fueron las personas migrantes y refugiadas de nacionalidad venezolana y el grupo familiar con el que se encontraban viajando, que ingresaron a la República Argentina entre el 7 de septiembre y el 7 de octubre de 2021.
