This report provides insights into the profiles, experiences, needs, routes travelled and intentions of migrants transiting through Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Data was collected from 1 to 30 June 2024. IOM carried out a route observation exercise in the Republika Srpska, Sarajevo Canton, Posavina Canton, Tuzla Canton, Bosnian-Podrinje Canton and Una Sana Canton to monitor trends in entries and exits as well as transit modalities within BiH. IOM also surveyed 49 migrants in active transit locations such as bus stops or at key entry and exit locations throughout the country as well as in four transit reception centres (TRCs) in BiH (Lipa, Ušivak, Borići and Blažuj).

To assess drought-induced mobility and identify the most urgent sectoral needs experienced by the community, the IOM
Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Mobility Tracking and Multi-Sectoral Location Assessment (MSLA) baseline assessment
was deployed in 2022 in Turkana County. A second round of data collection for mobility tracking took place between May
and June 2023, presented here. Key findings from this assessment included: 

• Almost all arrival households (96% or 15,024 households) arrived at sub-locations in May 2023 that already
struggled with the severe effects of drought, resource-based conflict, and ethnic clashes.
• 78 per cent of returnees temporarily resided in Turkana in a location outside their immediate area of
origin, suggesting prevalent internal migration within the county.
• 19,515 child-headed households were identified. Of these, 1,622 (8%) had no relatives or community members
living near them and were separated from their legal or customary guardians.
• 6,216 children were without permanent sources of support.
• Almost half (48%) of the assessed sub-locations that reported loss of livestock reported child labour (whether
within or outside the ward) as a coping strategy, while around one quarter (24%) of sub-locations reported early
marriage of boys and girls as a key coping strategy.
