Kyrgyzstan – Quarterly Compilation Report #1 (Dec 2023)

The report aims to present migration dynamics in Kyrgyzstan, drawing upon data from 2022 and 2023 from national and international datasets on migratory movements. It covers recent major global and regional developments which will continue to have an impact on internal and international migration in the country. Collection and analysis of migration data is one of the action points of the Mid-Term Work Plan for 2022- 2025 to implement the Concept of State Migration Policy of the Kyrgyz Republic for 2021-2030. Specifically, action point No. 27 stipulates that a national system of collection of migration-related statistical data shall be developed at the local and national levels. To support the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic to implement this task and contribute to evidence-based migration management IOM Kyrgyzstan Mission has established a Mobility Tracking Matrix team (MTM) in 2022.

The MTM is adapted to Kyrgyzstan context from the global DTM methodology and it is a system that tracks and monitors displacement and population mobility. It is designed to regularly and systematically capture, process and disseminate information to provide a better understanding of the movements and evolving needs.
