Flow Monitoring Dashboard / Dataset

DTM’s Flow Monitoring Registry (FMR) surveys people on the move at key transit points within South Sudan (SSD) and at its borders. It provides an insight into mobility trends, migration drivers and traveller profiles to inform programming by humanitarian and development partners and by the government, complementing DTM’s monitoring of mobility restrictions and COVID-19 prevention measures at points of entry and transit hubs. In total, 33 Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) were active in August 2020, surveying internal flows and crossborder travel with Uganda (UGA), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Sudan (SDN) and the Central African Republic (CAR). Two new FMPs on the border with Ethiopia were activated in the second half of August: Burebyei and Pagak, respectively in Nasir and Maiwut County. A separate profile for cross-border movement to / from Ethiopia will be included starting from September. Figures are only indicative of existing trends among respondents at the active FMPs since DTM does not have full coverage of cross-border or internal flows. Participation in the survey is voluntary and anonymous.

In total, 30 Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) were active in June 2020, surveying internal flows and cross-border travel with Uganda (UGA), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Sudan (SDN) and the Central African Republic (CAR). Two new FMPs were activated on 20 June at Juba Gabat Port and Juba River Port.

It provides an insight into mobility trends, migration drivers and traveller profiles to inform programming by humanitarian and development partners and by the government, complementing DTM’s monitoring of mobility restrictions and COVID-19 prevention measures at points of entry and transit hubs. In total, 28 Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) were active in May 2020, surveying internal flows and crossborder travel with Uganda (UGA), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Sudan (SDN) and the Central African Republic (CAR). Three FMPs were deactivated on 31 April in Yei (Logobero, Rasolo) and Ezo (Bangaingai) Counties, while a new one was activated on 20 May in Renk (Renk North Checkpoint). Kaya FMP in Morobo resumed data collection at the beginning of May after a temporary suspension as a result of mobility restrictions.

DTM’s Flow Monitoring Registry (FMR) surveys people on the move at key transit points within South Sudan (SSD) and at its borders. It provides an insight into mobility trends, migration drivers and traveller profiles to inform programming by humanitarian and development partners and by the government. In total, 29 Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) were active in April 2020, surveying internal flows and cross-border travel with Uganda (UGA), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Sudan (SDN) and the Central African Republic (CAR). Six FMPs were deactivated on 31 March in Yei (Yei Airstrip), Kajo-Keji (Bori, Pure, Abaya), Lainya (Birigo) and Morobo (Okaba) Counties following scale-down of EVD preparedness activities. Three other FMPs in Tambura (Dingimo), Magwi (Owiny Ki Bul) and Panyikang (Tonga Bus Stop) were not operational in April as a result of COVID-19 mobility restrictions and other issues, and were later deactivated following planned de-prioritisation. Kaya FMP in Morobo County was temporarily inactive as a result of mobility restrictions, but data collection resumed in May. FMP closures should be taken into account when comparing April figures with prior months. Among FMPs that were active in both March and April, a significant reduction in overall cross-border movement coincided with the implementation of COVID-19 mobility restrictions at multiple locations.

As part of IOM’s Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) preparedness activities, DTM operates Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) on the borders with Uganda (UGA), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the Central African Republic (CAR). In total, 21 EVD-dedicated FMPs were active in March, of which six were deactivated at the end of the month following de-prioritisation. This dashboard highlights key entry routes to South Sudan (SSD) and presents the demographic profile of people surveyed on arrival from the three neighbouring countries at risk of EVD transmission. Participation in the survey is voluntary and the data collected is only indicative of actual flows.

In total, 21 EVD-dedicated FMPs were active in February, with Owiny Ki Bul (Magwi County), Kaya (Morobo), Kerwa and Pure (Kajo-Keji) replacing FMPs previously operated in Uganda.

It provides an insight into mobility trends, migration drivers and traveller profiles to inform programming by humanitarian and development partners and by the government. In total, 39 Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) were active in March 2020, surveying internal flows and cross-border travel with Uganda (UGA), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Sudan (SDN) and the Central African Republic (CAR). There was no change in the number or location of FMPs relative to February, but restrictions on cross-border movement were imposed on 24 March by the Government of South Sudan with the aim of preventing the spread of COVID-19 (see DTM’s COVID-19 Mobility Update). Neighbouring countries also imposed mobility restrictions. Figures are only indicative of existing trends among respondents at the active FMPs since DTM does not have full coverage of cross-border or internal flows.

In total, 39 Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) were active in February 2020, surveying internal flows and cross-border travel with Uganda (UGA), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Sudan (SDN) and the Central African Republic (CAR). Three FMPs operated on the Ugandan side of the border were deactivated on 31 January and replaced by new FMPs on the South Sudanese side: Kaya FMP (Morobo County) replaced Oraba; Pure and Kerwa FMPs (Kajo-Keji) partly replaced the former point in the Ugandan village of Kerwa (except for a route to Korijo camp); and Owiny Ki Bul FMP was activated on a busier route between Magwi County and Uganda than that covered by the former FMP Aweno Olwiyo.
