Malawi — Flow Monitoring of Migrants in Karonga - Round 8 (31 August 2024)

Over the reporting period, a total of 822 cross-border movements were observed at the Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) between Malawi and the United Republic of Tanzania. The average daily number flows was 46. This represented a 38 per cent decrease compared to July, during which 74 individual movements were observed on a daily basis. Malawi (55%), United Republic of Tanzania (45%) and Burundi (<1%) were the main countries of departure, while Malawi (58%) and United Republic of Tanzania (42%) were the main countries of intended destination of individuals passing through the different FMPs. Out of 822 individuals observed, 68 per cent were males and 32 per cent were females. There were six (6) women who were visibly pregnant. Boys and girls (males and females below 18) made up 14 per cent of individuals observed. Of the 119 children observed, 17 were unaccompanied boys and 5 were unaccompanied girls. However, this information is based on direct observation and self-reporting, and therefore is likely under-reported.
