Ethiopia — Rural to Urban Movements in Somali Region, Internal Flow Monitoring Dashboard (August 2023)

In order to increase the availability of evidence on rural to urban migration flows and trends, as well as needs, coping mechanisms and motivations of drought-affected persons, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Data and Research Unit (DRU), through the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) methodology, set up and piloted two internal Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) in Gode and Jigjiga, two major urban centres in the Somali region of Ethiopia. The pilot ran from June 2023 through August 2023.

This dashboard focuses on data collected in August 2023 through the FMR tool in Gode and Jigjiga FMPs. In August 2023, 12,619 movements were observed, 7,029 of which were through Gode FMP (55.70%) and 5,590 through Jigjiga FMP (44.30%).
