COVID-19 - Flow Monitoring Registry: Mobility Trends – January - December 2020 – West & Central Africa | Publication date: February 2021
Format
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected mobility in West and Central Africa in the form of various travel disruptions, restrictions and bans. This report provides key information on the magnitude and types of changes to mobility observed regionally in the context of the COVID-19 crisis.
The Flow Monitoring Registry (FMR) is a tool of IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) which records movements crossing areas of high-density mobility (areas of departure, transit and destination). FMR gathers data on the numbers, profiles, provenance and destinations of travellers crossing these strategic transit points. To better understand the ways and the extent to which the COVID-19 crisis is impacting mobility in the region, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has been working to analyse Flow Monitoring Registry data co

INTRODUCTION
In order to gain a better understanding of mobility flows and trends through West and Central Africa, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) implements the Displacement Tracking Matrix’s (DTM) Flow Monitoring (FM) tool at key transit points across the region.
Flow Monitoring activities are conducted in close cooperation with national and local authorities, as well as local partners. The Flow Monitoring tool consists of two main components: the Flow Monitoring Registry (FMR), which captures key data on the magnitude, provenance, destination and mode of travel of mobility flows, and the Flow Monitoring Survey (FMS), individual surveys conducted with travellers to gather detailed information about the profiles, migration experience and intentions of migrants. Through these activities, the Flow Monitoring tool collects data on migration flows and trends, traveller profiles, migration journeys
DTM Somalia: Cross Border Movements – Somalia (December 2020)
Format
In December 2020, a total of 19,601 movements were observed at Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs). This represents an increase of 6% in comparison with November 2020 when 18,434 movements were observed.
Dhobley, Lowyacado, Cabudwaq, Bosasso and Doolow FMPs recorded an increase in movements between these two periods (25%, 14%, 10%, 5% and 5% respectively). Buuhoole and Harirad FMPs recorded a decrease in movements ( -5%, and -1% respectively).
Similar to November 2020, this month saw a majority of incoming flows (71%) against outgoing flows (29%). Bossaso, Harirad and Cabudwaq FMPs recorded the highest levels of incoming flows (25%, 20% and 16% respectively), while Dhobley, Doolow and Bossaso recorded the highest number of outgoing flows (30%, 28% and 25% respectively).
Flow Monitoring Points | Migrant Arrivals and Yemeni Returns in 2020
Format
IOM Yemen DTM’s Flow Monitoring Registry (FMR) monitors key migrant arrival and Yemeni return locations on Yemen s northern border with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and southern coastal border. Enumerators placed at Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) record arrivals of migrants and returning Yemeni nationals in order to identify different patterns and types of migration, and to provide quantitative estimates to help define the population of irregular migrants entering the country. FMR is not representative of all flows in Yemen and should be understood as only indicative of the individuals recorded at FMPs during the timeframe indicated. Access constraints limit the ability to collect data at some migrant arrival points.

Access constraints limit the ability to collect data at some migrant arrival points. IOM Yemen DTM estimates that 2,035 migrants entered Yemen during the month of December 2020. Currently, IOM Yemen DTM does not have access to Manfath Alwadeeah FMP, on the KSA-Yemen
