Artisanal mineral extraction attracts high numbers of migrants within Mozambique, and the southern African region more widely. These informal mining points are particularly vulnerable to communicable diseases, and communities often have limited access to basic social infrastructure, including health facilities.

The Artisanal Miners' Demographic and Migration Profile Assessment (AMDM) aimed to explore the socio-economic and migratory patterns of artisanal miners in two significant locations: Gile, Zambezia, and Cahora Bassa, Tete. In focusing on these two remote mining areas in Zambezia and Tete respectively, the AMDM provides an evidence base that complements IOM's support to a migrant-friendly health service model that bridges gaps between migrants and host communities in vulnerable regions.
