Assessment Report

Since October 8 there has been an increase in cross-border incidents between Israel and Lebanon, resulting in the displacement of people both within the South and elsewhere within the country. Since October 10, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has been conducting the daily monitoring of population movements. The objective of the exercise is to inform preparedness and response planning.

Mobility Tracking Matrix (MTM) implements the Baseline Mobility Assessment (BMA) in Tajikistan to track mobility, provide information on population estimates, geographic distribution of migrant workers and return migrants, reasons for migration and countries of return. Data is collected at the village level from key informants and direct observations.

The Baseline Mobility Assessment (BMA) was conducted in all five provinces in 12 districts/cities of Tajikistan (including Ismoili Somoni, Sino, Firdawsi, Shohmansur districts of Dushanbe city, Vahdat city, Rudaki district of Districts of Central Subordination, Khujand city of Sughd region, Bokhtar, Kulob cities and Panj district of Khatlon region, Khorugh city and Vanj district of Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast (GBAO). This assessment covered 935 communities through interviews with 3,459 key informants. Based on the key informants' estimates, 4,010 international migrant workers were hosted in the assessed communities in Tajikistan during 2020 and April 2024. Concurrently, 3,133 internal migrants were hosted in the assessed communities and 271,059 Tajik nationals were reported to be residing abroad as international migrants. In addition, 299,834 return migrants have returned from abroad.

This report presents findings on data collected by the IOM Data and Research Unit (DRU) through its DTM methodology and Household-Level Survey (HLS) tool. The objective of this HLS is to measure parity between Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and non-displaced residents and assess IDPs’ progress towards durable solutions in the Somali region of Ethiopia. The survey took place in Dawa, Doolo, Nogob and Shabelle zones. The data allows the identification of gaps for more targeted interventions to support the attainment of durable solutions.

While local integration was the preferred durable solution for IDPs in the four assessed zones, as it can be seen from the analysis of the results of the assessment, various factors including displacement status might be hindering access to services and participation, which ultimately impacts the ability of IDP households to progress towards a durable solution through local integration.

Бул баяндама төмөндөгү методология бөлүмүндө түшүндүрүлгөндөй Миграциялык Маалыматтарды Картага түшүрүү боюнча машыгуу иш-чаранын негизги жыйынтыктарын аныктайт, жана Кыргызстандагы миграция жөнүндө азыркы учурда болгон жеткиликтүү маалыматтарды аныктайт. Каралып чыккан миграция маалыматы Кыргызстандагы активдүү жана тиешелүү мамлекеттик маалымат базаларынын, ошондой эле БУУнун агенттиктеринин жана өнүктүрүү мекемелеринин картасын камтыйт. Тактап айтканда, маалыматтарды карап чыгууда иммиграция, эмиграция, кайра кайтып келүү миграциясы, документсиз миграция, Кыргызстанда жашаган качкындар, Кыргызстандан келген качкындар, ички миграция, ири маалымат жана акча которуулар боюнча тематикалык багыттар камтылган. Бул баяндама ошондой эле негизги улуттук миграция саясатын жана тиешелүү кызыкдар тараптарды баса белгилейт.

Кыргыз Республикасындагы иммиграция боюнча учурдагы маалымат туралуу топтомдорун карап чыккандан кийин, иммигранттардын агымы боюнча маалымат мамлекеттик органдар тарабынан жыл сайын чогултулуп, баяндама берилип жатканы такталды. Жыл боюнча бөлүштүрүлгөн иммигранттардын агымынын саны тууралуу маалымат Кыргызстандын Улуттук статистикалык комитетинде (КР УСК) кыргыз, орус жана англис тилдеринде жеткиликтүү. Бирок, иммигранттардын жынысы, билими, туулган жери, жашы жана жумушу боюнча маалыматтын бөлүштүрүлүшү коомго ачык жеткиликтүү эмес, бирок мындай маалыматтарды КР УСКнен расмий маалымат өтүнүчү аркылуу алууга болот. КР УСКсы жана Кыргызстандын Эмгек, ссоциалдык камсыздоо жана миграция министрлиги (КР ЭСКжММ) тарабынан билдирилген иммигранттардын агымы тууралуу маалымат КР УСКки тарабынан билдирилген маалыматтан кыйла айырмаланат, ал дегени ар мекеме тарабынан колдонулган иммигранттардын аныктамалары ар түрдүү болушу мүмкүн дегенди билдирет билдирет. Өлкөдө туруктуу жашап жаткан иммигранттардын саны боюнча так маалымат жок, бирок маалыматты БУУнун Экономикалык жана Cоциалдык иштер департаментинин маалымат платформасынан табууга мүмкүнчүлүк бар. Келечектеги изилдөөлөр өлкөдөгү туруктуу жашап жаткан иммигранттардын санын аныктоого багытталышы керек.

Башка өлкөлөргө Кыргызстан жарандарынын эмиграцияга кетуу тууралуу маалыматтарды талдоо көрсөткөндөй, эмиграциялык агымдар жөнүндө маалыматтардын көпчүлүгү административдик маалыматтардын негизинде түзүлөт. КР УСКсы жыл сайын өзүнүн веб-баракчасында эмигранттардын агымы жөнүндө баяндама маалыматтарды берип турат, анда эмигранттар этностук таандыктыгы, жынысы, жаш курагы, өз өлкөсүндө келип чыккан жери жана барган өлкөсү боюнча маалыматтар менен бөлүшөт. Бул маалымат жалпы коомчулукка ачык, негизинен орус тилинде жеткиликтүү. Кыргызстандын чет өлкөдөгү дипломатиялык өкүлчүлүктөрү жана консулдук мекемелери да эмигранттарды каттоого, маалыматтарды чогултууга жана эмигранттардын болжолдуу саны жөнүндө баяндама берүүгө катышат. Бирок, эмигранттардын социалдык профили тууралуу маалымат жок. Өнүгүү уюмдары тарабынан жүргүзүлгөн ар кандай сурамжылоолор жана изилдөөлөр эмигранттардын социалдык профили жөнүндө маалымат берет, бирок бул изилдөөлөрдүн ар биринин өз чектөөлөрү бар. Кийинки изилдөөлөр административдик маалыматтардын негизинде алынган мигранттардын саны жөнүндө маалыматка багытталышы керек.

This report summarizes the key findings of the Migration Data Mapping Exercise, as explained in the methodology section below, and identifies existing and available migration data in Kyrgyzstan. The reviewed migration data includes a mapping of active and relevant government databases as well as UN Agencies and development actors in Kyrgyzstan. Specifically, the data review captured thematic areas on immigration, emigration, return migration, undocumented migration, refugees hosted in Kyrgyzstan, refugees from Kyrgyzstan, internal displacement, internal migration, big data, and remittances. The report also highlights key national migration policies and stakeholders.

After reviewing existing datasets on immigration to Kyrgyzstan, it was found that data on the flow of immigrants is collected and reported annually by government agencies. Data on the number of immigrant flow distributed by year is available at the National Statistics Committee of Kyrgyzstan (NSC KR) in Kyrgyz, Russian, and English. However, data breakdowns by immigrants’ gender, education, place of origin, age, and employment is not available publicly but can be obtained through formal data request from NSC KR. Data on the flow of immigrants reported by NSC KR and the Ministry of Labour, Social Security, and Migration of Kyrgyzstan (MoLSSM KR) significantly differs from the data reported by NSC KR because of different definitions of immigrants used by different agencies. Data on the number of stock of immigrants is missing in the country but can be found on the UN DESA data platform. Further research should focus on the stock of immigrants in the country.

The data review on the emigration of Kyrgyz citizens to other countries revealed that most of the emigration outflow data is generated from administrative data. NSC KR reports on the outflow of emigrants annually on its website with data breakdowns such as emigrants by ethnicity, gender, age group, place of origin in home country, and by country of destination. These data are publicly accessible, mostly in the Rus-sian language. Diplomatic missions and consular offices of Kyrgyzstan in foreign countries are also involved in registration, data collection, and reporting on the estimated emigrants’ stock. However, information on the social profile of emigrants’ stock is missing. Different surveys and studies implemented by different de-velopment actors provide information on the social profile data of emigrants, but each of these studies has its own limitations. Further research should focus on the stock data of emigrants generated from adminis-trative data.

he Return Index report (Arabic translation) provides triannual updates on the severity of conditions in locations of return using 16 indicators across two domains: (1) livelihoods and basic services, and (2) social cohesion and safety perceptions.

The Master List report (Arabic translation) provides triannual updates on the number of IDPs and returnees in Iraq, recent movements and overall trends, shelter type, IDP areas of origin and areas of no return.

This factsheet on Sinjar District is an extension of the original pilot project in Ninewa Governorate aimed at assessing progress towards durable solutions to displacement for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees in the governorates with the largest shares of displaced populations in Iraq. The goal is to understand where IDPs and returnees in Sinjar District stand five years after the end of the 2014–2017 crisis and in which aspects they are still struggling. In this respect, this project contributes to a broader discussion and Action Agenda around measuring progress towards solutions and determining the end of displacement. The assessment measured progress along five criteria stemmed from the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Framework for Durable Solutions: 1) safety and security; 2) adequate standards of living; 3) access to livelihoods; 4) restoration of housing, land and property (HLP) and compensation and 5) personal documentation and participation.

Data collection for this factsheet took place in November 2022, across 3 sub-districts and 17 locations in the district of Sinjar. The focus of the study was on both IDPs and returnees within the district, including IDPs who are displaced within the district itself. Data were collected through IOM’s Rapid Assessment and Response Teams (RARTs), composed of over 73 staff members (40% of enumerators are female). They collected data through structured face-to-face interviews with a sample size of 310 IDP and 336 returnee households in Sinjar district.

The IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) collected data through Surveys with Refugees in the Ukraine Response region from April to June 2024. In Estonia, a total of 654 surveys were collected. This report explores different aspects of the economic integration, employment profiles, and prospects of the adult respondents, specifically those who have an intention to stay or have already established themselves in the country. These individuals, who intend to stay in Estonia for the foreseeable future, are actively using their skills and resources to fully integrate into the host community. The report offers insights into their involvement in the labour market and detailing their experiences, needs, and intentions concerning employment in Estonia for the duration of their displacement.

Key findings:

• 85% of respondents were active, while 15% were inactive.
• Within the active population, 77% were employed and 23% were unemployed and looking for a job.
• Among the inactive population, 31% were on parental leave, 38% were retired, 20% were students and 11% were unemployed and not looking for a job.
• The majority of Ukrainian refugees depend on their income (81%) as the main source for daily expenses. However, over half (55%) of respondents rely on the authorities’ support, 15% on familial support and 6% on their savings.
• 24% did not attend any type of language classes for Estonian. However 41% are attending language classes at schools, over one quarter (23%) have classes with migration authorities and 29% receive online classes.
• The majority of respondents have not received any remittances (83%). 17% received 20 to 2,000 euros. Among recipients, 49% stated they have spent from 10 to 2,000 euros, whereas 51 per cent haven’t spent any of their remittances.
• Regarding entrepreneurship, many displaced Ukrainians are interested in opening their own business (28%). 3% already own their own business and 5% are unsure of wanting to. A significant proportion (64%) are not interested in having their own business.
• IOM’s DTM questioned respondents regarding workplace exploitation in Estonia, uncovering that 6% of those surveyed had encountered some degree of labour exploitation.
