Malawi — Flow Monitoring of Migrants in Mangochi - Round 9 (30 September 2024)

Over the reporting period, a total of 2,174 cross-border movements were observed at the Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs). The average daily number of flows was 104. This represented a 17 per cent decrease compared to August, during which 124 individual movements were observed on a daily basis. Mozambique (59%), Malawi (40%), United Republic of Tanzania (<1%) and South Africa (<1%) were the main countries of departure, while Malawi (58%), Mozambique (41%), United Republic of Tanzania (<1%) and Zimbabwe (<1%) were the main countries of intended destination of individuals passing through the different FMPs. Out of 2,174 individuals observed, 58 per cent were males and 42 per cent were females. There was a number of women who were visibly pregnant. Boys and girls (males and females below 18) made up 17 per cent of individuals observed. Of the 345 children observed, 22 were children travelling without an adult (7 boys and 15 girls). However, this information is based on direct observation and self-reporting, and therefore is likely under-reported.
