Activity
  • Flow Monitoring
174,654 migrants were tracked between June and December 2017 through the network of 25 flow monitoring points in Yemen (7), Somalia (12) and Djibouti (6). Two main migration trends were
observed: one was to reach the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia or other Gulf Countries (46%), the other is the 1 circular movement between Somalia (20.3%) and Kenya (14.1%). Migrant Response Center (MRC) and 2 Migrant Response Point (MRP) data shows that of the 6,080 contacts which were registered across the 8 facilities present in the region, almost 99% were Ethiopians. Regionally, 80% of contacts were male and 20% were female, but with significant differences in the proportion of females across countries (Somalia 32%, Ethiopia and in Djibouti 20%, and Yemen only 11%).
