Environ 910 000 personnes sont estimées avoir traversé la frontière vers le Tchad depuis le début de la crise au Soudan, incluant 222 743 parmi eux qui sont des retournés tchadiens depuis fin septembre. L’OIM s’attend à ce que ce nombre passe à 240 000 d’ici fin décembre 2024, en raison de la reprise du conflit au Darfour.

An estimated 910,000 people have crossed into Chad since the onset of the crisis in Sudan, of which 222,743 are Chadian returnees as of end of September 2024. IOM expects this number to rise to 240,000 through to December 2024. This is due to ongoing conflict and food insecurity in Darfur, owing to the current suspension of the humanitarian corridor between Chad and Darfur.

Costa Rica, al igual que otros países de Centroamérica, sigue siendo un corredor migratorio clave para el flujo de personas en movilidad a través de las Américas. Este flujo está compuesto principalmente por personas de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, así como de otros países de Sudamérica, África y Asia. Según estimaciones de la OIM Costa Rica, aproximadamente 25,964 personas ingresaron al país en septiembre de 2024, con un promedio diario de 865 personas. Esto representa un aumento significativo del 57% en comparación con agosto de 2024. Aunque el número total de personas en tránsito por Costa Rica ha aumentado, los datos reflejan una diferencia notable en las condiciones de aquellos varados en espacios públicos en comparación con los que se encuentran en albergues. En septiembre de 2024, los migrantes varados en espacios públicos aumentaron un 28% (de 870 en agosto a 1.115 en septiembre), mientras que las personas en albergues experimentaron un aumento del 37% (de 260 en agosto a 357 en septiembre). Aunque los albergues aún tienen capacidad para acoger a más personas, muchos migrantes prefieren continuar su viaje hacia el norte y permanecer en espacios públicos. Este cambio resalta la compleja dinámica de la migración.

Costa Rica, like other Central American countries, continues to be a key migratory corridor for the flow of people on the move across the Americas. This flow mainly consists of individuals from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, as well as other countries in South America, Africa, and Asia. According to estimates by IOM Costa Rica, approximately 25,964 people entered the country in September 2024, with an average of 865 people per day. This represents a significant 57% increase compared to August 2024. Although the total number of people transiting through Costa Rica has increased, the data reflect a notable difference in the conditions of those stranded in public sites versus those in shelters. In September 2024, migrants stranded in public spaces increased by 28% (from 870 in August to 1,115 in September), while people in shelters experienced a 37% increase (from 260 in August to 357 in September). Shelters still have the capacity to accommodate more people, but many migrants prefer to continue their journey northward and remain in public spaces. This shift highlights the complex dynamics of migration.

Los movimientos migratorios de personas nicaragüenses hacia Costa Rica son una tendencia constante en     América Central, intensificándose por factores políticos, económicos y sociales.

Entre enero y septiembre del 2024, se registraron 414.123 movimientos regulares de personas de nacionalidad nicaragüense (52 % ingresos, 48 % egresos). En el mismo periodo durante el 2023 se registraron 380.315 movimientos regulares (53 % ingresos y 47 % egresos). Esto representó un aumento del nueve por ciento en el 2024 con respecto al 2023.

Entender la dinámica fronteriza de quienes la transitan es fundamental en la comprensión de las necesidades de población migrante y la formulación de propuestas para su atención. Ante estos desafíos, es esencial disponer de información actualizada sobre el perfil sociodemográfico, motivos de migración, necesidades y la dinámica de los movimientos migratorios de persona nicaragüenses en la frontera norte de Costa

The migratory movements of Nicaraguan people to Costa Rica are a constant trend in Central America, intensified by political, economic, and social factors.

Between January and September 2024, there were 414,123 regular movements of people of Nicaraguan nationality (52% entries, 48% exits). In the same period in 2023, 380,315 regular movements were recorded (53% entries and 47% exits), representing a nine percent increase in 2024 compared to 2023. On the other hand, through unofficial border points, 68,320 migration movements were recorded from May 15, 2024, to September 30, with 52% being exits and 48% entries.

Additionally, 379 Nicaraguan individuals were surveyed (191 at official border points and 188 at unofficial border crossings), along with 291 companions (126 at official border points and 165 at unofficial border crossings).

Understanding the border dynamics of those who transit it is essential in comprehending the needs of the migrant population and formulating proposals for their assistance. In the face of these challenges, it is essential to have updated information on the sociodemographic profile, reasons for migration, needs, and the dynamics of the migratory movements of Nicaraguan people on the northern border of Costa Rica.

This latest round of Emergency Trends Tracking was initiated in April 2024 to monitor displacements movements during the Gu rainy season. From April to September 2024, DTM teams collected data in up to 22 districts: Afgooye, Afmadow, Baardheere, Baidoa, Balcad, Belet Weyne, Belet Xaawo, Cabudwaaq, Dayniile, Dhuusamarreeb, Doolow, Gaalkacyo, Garoowe, Hodan, Jamaame, Jowhar, Kahda, Kismaayo, Luuq, Waajid, Xudur and Hobyo. During week 28, data collection occurred in only 4 districts: Huddur, Wajid, Galckayo and Hobyo districts.

The objective of ETT is to help prioritize humanitarian response and to enable partners to deliver rapid assistance. Based on previous shock induced displacement patterns, the humanitarian community expects that people will continue to move toward urban areas in search of humanitarian services. Consequently, the ETT coverage focuses on the main urban centers and surrounding villages for each assessed district. The data is collected through Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) at the location level, from Sunday to Wednesday every week. It includes information on new arrivals, numbers and demographic of IDPs, reasons for displacement, intentions, humanitarian assistance and priority needs among others.

To facilitate the joint analysis of the CCCM (Camp Coordination and Camp Management) Cluster’s New Arrivals Tracker (NAT) and ETT data, the assistance and needs indicators are identical in both tools.

Over the reporting period, a total of 822 cross-border movements were observed at the Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) between Malawi and the United Republic of Tanzania. The average daily number flows was 46. This represented a 38 per cent decrease compared to July, during which 74 individual movements were observed on a daily basis. Malawi (55%), United Republic of Tanzania (45%) and Burundi (<1%) were the main countries of departure, while Malawi (58%) and United Republic of Tanzania (42%) were the main countries of intended destination of individuals passing through the different FMPs. Out of 822 individuals observed, 68 per cent were males and 32 per cent were females. There were six (6) women who were visibly pregnant. Boys and girls (males and females below 18) made up 14 per cent of individuals observed. Of the 119 children observed, 17 were unaccompanied boys and 5 were unaccompanied girls. However, this information is based on direct observation and self-reporting, and therefore is likely under-reported.

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.
