- Flow Monitoring
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 July 2023 through the FMR tool in Gode and Jigjiga FMPs. In July 2023, 13,467 movements were observed, 7,850 of which were through the Gode FMP (58.29%) and 5,617 through the Jigjiga FMP (41.71%).
