Le suivi des flux de populations (Flow Monitoring, FM) est un exercice qui vise à identifier les zones de forte mobilité interne et transfrontalière à fin de mieux comprendre les caractéristiques des flux migratoires.

Ce rapport présente les données obtenues pendant le mois de Décembre 2021 au niveau des FMPs de Boundoufourdou dans la préfecture de Koundara au Nord du pays et de Kourémalé dans la préfecture de Siguiri au Nord-Est de la Guinée. Ces données sont collectées lors de l’enregistrement des flux effectués auprès des voyageurs.  ​

During the COVID-19 pandemic, IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), monitors the movements to and from Nigeria's Adamawa and Borno States in north-east Nigeria. Assessments are conducted at Points of Entry located along the border with Cameroon.

During the period 01 - 07 January 2022, 174 movements were observed at three Points of Entry in Borno state. Of the total movements recorded, 126 were incoming from the Far North Region in Cameroon and 1 incoming from Ndjamena in Chad republic, while 47 outgoing movements were recorded from Borno State to the Far North Region in Cameroon.

Between the 10th and 16th of January 2022, a total of 3,287 movements were recorded in Adamawa and Borno States. The recorded movements consisted of 2,829 arrivals and 458 departures. Arrivals were recorded at locations in Askira/Uba, Bama, Biu, Gwoza, Hawul, Kala/Balge, Monguno and Ngala Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the most conflict-affected Borno State and in Fufore, Gombi, Hong, Lamurde, Maiha, Michika, Mubi South, Song, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa State.

Departures were recorded in Askira Uba, Kala/Balge LGA of Borno, and Demsa, Fufore, Hong, Maiha, Michika, Mubi South, Numan, Song, Yola North and Yola South LGAs of Adamawa State.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), monitors the movements to and from Nigeria's Adamawa and Borno States in north-east Nigeria. Assessments are conducted at Points of Entry located along the border with Cameroon.

During the period 08 - 14 January 2022, 265 movements were observed at three Points of Entry in Borno state. Of the total movements recorded, 139 were incoming from the Far North Region in Cameroon and 18 incoming from Bol and Adre in Chad republic, while 107 outgoing movements were recorded from Borno State to the Far North Region in Cameroon and one

IOM works with national and local authorities in order to gain a better understanding of population movements throughout Southern Africa. Through the setup of Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs), IOM seeks to quantify migration flows, trends and routes and to gain a better understanding of the profiles of observed individuals at entry, transit or exit points (such as border crossing posts, bus stations, rest areas, police checkpoints and reception centres). This report is an overview of the data collected in these FMPs from 1 to 31 December 2021.*

Inter-regional migration from and within the Southern Africa is categorized along the following corridors. The Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) were set-up in several key transit locations along the corridors to track the movements of passengers: 

•Zimbabwe (Mutare) – Mozambique (Manica)

•Zimbabwe (Chirundu) – Zambia

•Zimbabwe – Botswana (Plumtree)

•Zimbabwe – South Africa (Beitbridge)

•Malawi (Mchinji) – Zambia (Mwami)

•Malawi (Karonga) – Tanzania

•Malawi (Mwanza) – Mozambique (Zobue) 

•Malawi – Mozambique (Mulanje)

During December 2021, a total of 116,051 movements were observed across 44 FMPs in the region. 

The Zimbabwe – South Africa corridor hosted the largest number of movements with 90,133 (78%) followed by the Malawi (Mwanza) – Mozambique (Zobue) corridor with 12,033 (10%) and the Malawi – Zambia corridor with 4,569 movements reported (4%).

*Due to operational constraints over the holiday season, enumeration activities were paused on certain days which may not be reflective of flows in each corridor.
