Compilation/Overview

Enga province in Papua New Guinea continues to grapple with heightened tensions stemming from recurring tribal conflicts. These conflicts have led to extensive damage to various essential infrastructure, including shelters, schools, churches, and healthcare facilities, particularly in the Middle Lai area of the Wapenamanda district. Reports indicate significant casualties and mass displacement of populations due to the ongoing fighting. Security forces, comprising both police and military personnel, are actively engaged in monitoring the situation and conducting awareness campaigns within local communities to mitigate tensions and prevent further violence.

Efforts are being made to prioritize civilian safety and prevent the escalation of hostilities. Tribal conflicts often arise from issues such as land disputes, competition over resources, and inter-clan rivalries. The data collected from 25 wards across three Local Level Government (LLGs) in the Wapenamanda and Wabag districts of Enga Province provides insight into the demographic impact of the recent conflict. Wapenamanda district emerged as the most affected area, hosting the largest number of IDPs with 2,718 individuals from 546 households displaced by the recent conflict. This represents approximately 50% of the total displaced population. Wabag Rural follows closely, accommodating 40% of the IDPs, totalling 2,186 individuals from 436 households. Wabag Urban also experiences displacement, with 549 individuals from 108 households seeking refuge.

In January 2024, a total of 40,464 movements were observed across the six flow monitoring points (FMPs) in Ethiopia. This represents a 5.7% increase in daily average movements in comparison with December 2023 when an average of 1,235 movements per day were observed.

Outgoing movements (63%) during January decreased while incoming movements (37%) increased compared to the previous month, mainly due to increased incoming flows of returning migrants to Ethiopia through different entry points. A total of 25,373 outgoing movements were observed, out of which 12,558 (49.5%) were heading to Saudi Arabia, 5,404 (21.3%) were going to Kenya, 2,182 (8.6%) to Djibouti, 1,682 (6.6%) to Somalia, 1,005 (4%) to South Africa, 954 (3.8%) to Yemen, and 552 (2.2%) to Sudan, while remaining movements were heading to other Southern African, Middle Eastern, and North American countries.

At the same time, 15,091 incoming movements were observed, out of which 10,401 (68.9%) originated from Sudan, while 2,291 (15.2%) came from Kenya, 1,392 (9.2%) from Djibouti, 882 (5.8%) from Somalia and 125 (0.9%) came from other Middle Eastern and Horn of Africa countries. Most incoming movements were by Ethiopians (65.3%), followed by Sudanese nationals (33.5%). Returning Ethiopians departed from Sudan (52.7%), Kenya (23.1%), Djibouti (14%), Somalia (8.9%), Yemen (1.2%), and South Sudan (0.1%).

Honduras cuenta con un historial de distintas dinámicas migratorias. En los últimos tres años scales (de octubre 2020 a septiembre 2023), se contabilizan más de 746,000 aprehensiones de personas hondureñas en la frontera suroeste terrestre de Estados Unidos (CBP). Asimismo, más de 768,000 personas nacidas en Honduras residen en Estados Unidos (US Census Bureau). Por otro lado, las remesas familiares son un importante elemento de la economía y las familias en Honduras. Durante 2022, se recibieron 8,686.2 millones de dólares bajo este concepto, representando el 25.5% del Producto Interno Bruto (BCH).

El último estudio nacional de migración en Honduras fue desarrollado en 2010 por el INE, y abarcaba diversos temas como emigración, migración interna, inmigración, entre otros. En un contexto de dinámicas complejas de movilidad humana, existe una brecha en la disponibilidad de datos nacionales actualizados sobre las dinámicas migratorias.

Ante esto, el INE y la OIM han desarrollado la Encuesta Nacional de Migración y Remesas (ENMR) 2023, bajo el programa Respuestas Integrales sobre Migración en Centroamérica (IRM, por sus siglas en inglés), con el apoyo de la Agencia de los Estados Unidos para el Desarrollo Internacional (USAID, por sus siglas en inglés). El objetivo de la ENMR 2023 es generar información estadística sobre las dinámicas migratorias y de recepción de remesas en los hogares de Honduras a nivel nacional, con el fin de apoyar la toma de decisiones basada en evidencia por parte de las instituciones gubernamentales, actores humanitarios, organismos de cooperación y sociedad civil.

En el período del 27 de febrero al 29 de marzo de 2023, se realizó el levantamiento de información de la ENMR, lo cual permite presentar hallazgos según los diez capítulos del reporte: I. Características de los hogares, II. Características sociodemográcas, III. Principales características socioeconómicas, IV. Migración interna, V. Inmigración, VI. Migración internacional, VII. Emigración reciente, VIII. Intención de migrar, IX. Remesas familiares y X. Análisis comparativo.

In response to recent movements, IOM Afghanistan re-launched its DTM Flow Monitoring activity at the beginning of 2024 to better understand the mobility dynamics at Afghanistan’s borders. On 10 January 2024, DTM began deploying field teams at four border crossing points with the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRN) and Pakistan (PAK), expanding to another border crossing point, Ghulam Khan, as of 11 February (see map below for the locations of all five crossing points), to conduct two interlinked exercises. The first is a headcount of all individuals entering or leaving Afghanistan (including returnees), also called Flow Monitoring Counting (FMC), to gauge flow volume. The second is a survey of randomly selected Afghan national individuals or groups entering or leaving Afghanistan, also called the Flow Monitoring Survey (FMS), to understand the profiles, motivations, and vulnerabilities of the target population. This snapshot provides key findings combining various IOM data sources, including DTM Afghanistan’s FMC and FMS activities, DTM Pakistan’s Flow Monitoring of Afghan returnees, and IOM Afghanistan’s Cross-Border Post-Arrival Humanitarian Assistance (CB-PAHA) program, for the period 10 to 16 March 2024. For more information about methodology, see the section in the last page of this report titled “IOM INFLOW DATA.” 

The quarterly migration situation report is developed by combining secondary data obtained from different sources, including government agencies, international organizations, non-profit entities, and other types of organizations. More specifically, the report on the third quarter of 2023 was derived from data of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Bureau of National Statistics, and Border Service of Kazakhstan. The data was compiled through a combination of published sources and direct requests to the partners and government agencies.

Between 23 September and 19 October 2023, IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) conducted a Village Assessment Survey (VAS) in Wau County, Western Bahr el Ghazal. The Survey aims to support planning for transition and recovery programs by mapping the availability of basic needs, services, and infrastructure. The VAS data collection was successfully completed in five payams (Bagari, Beselia, Kpaile, Wau North, and Wau South) and forty-two bomas within Wau County. However, three bomas including Hai Jadid, Gittan and Rafili wer not assessed due to either being deserted or poor road conditions.

IOM Afghanistan launched the first round of the DTM Baseline Area Assessment B1 in January 2024 as part of its ongoing efforts to collect crucial data on population mobility dynamics, specifically displacement and returns. In particular, the B1 activity seeks to map the presence of mobile population groups, such as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), returnees, and internal migrants, to enable further understanding of conditions, vulnerabilities, and humanitarian needs through targeted data collection and analysis. After implementation of the B1, a subsequent assessment, the Baseline Village Assessment B2, will target all locations that report presence of mobile population groups to verify the results of the B1 and collect more granular information on reasons for mobility, shelter types, and places of origin. 

The following report covers data collected for the B1 in January and February 2024, during which the IOM DTM Afghanistan team was able to completely cover two thirds (23 out of 34) of the provinces in the country. Further data collection to cover the remaining provinces is anticipated in the coming days. For a provisional look at baseline mobility figures for all 34 provinces, see the annex on pages 9 and 10, which combines the current B1 data with data collected during previous DTM activities.
