  • Flow Monitoring

Over the reporting period, a total of 2,100 cross-border movements were observed at the Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) between Malawi and Mozambique. The average daily number of flows was 124. This represented a five (5%) per cent decrease compared to July, during which 131 individual movements were observed on a daily basis. Mozambique (57%), Malawi (42%), United Republic of Tanzania (1%) and Somalia (<1%) were the main countries of departure, while Malawi (56%), Mozambique (44%) and Zambia (<1%) were the main countries of intended destination of individuals passing through the different FMPs. Out of the 2,100 individuals observed, 61 per cent were males and 39 per cent were females. There were 57 women who were visibly pregnant. Boys and girls (males and females below 18) made up 14 per cent of individuals observed. Of the 287 children observed, 22 were unaccompanied boys and 21 were unaccompanied girls. However, this information is based on direct observation and self-reporting, and therefore is likely under-reported.
