DTM’s Flow Monitoring Registry (FMR) conducts surveys on individuals in transit at strategic points within South Sudan (SSD) and its borders. The FMR aims to provide valuable insights into mobility patterns, reasons for migration, and characteristics of travelers. This data is utilized by humanitarian organizations, development partners, and the government to enhance their programs. Additionally, the FMR complements DTM’s monitoring efforts during natural disasters.

As of August 2024, a total of 14 Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) were operational, monitoring both internal movements and cross-border travel with neighboring countries such as Uganda (UGA), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Sudan (SDN), Ethiopia (ETH), Kenya (KEN), and the Central African Republic (CAR). The figures provided are indicative of trends observed among respondents at the active FMPs only, as DTM’s coverage does not encompass all cross-border or internal flows. Participation in the survey is voluntary and anonymous, with groups of individuals traveling together often surveyed collectively, typically representing a household.
