30 Missing Migrants Project Tracking dead and missing migrants worldwide
31 About IOM's Missing Migrants Project Aim: To provide accessible data tracking migrant deaths and disappearances worldwide Only global database on migrant deaths and disappearances Compile information on age, gender, origin, location and manner of death of migrants Information sourced from government bodies, international institutions, NGOs, and media reports Provides comparison of trends by year in data briefings and annual reports
32 Methodology: 4 main sources of data Official reporting IOM reporting NGO collaboration GMDAC team Missing Migrants database Media sources Missing Migrants Project counts migrants who have died or gone missing at the external borders of states, or in the process of migration towards an international destination.
33 Who uses MMP data? Media: Estimates for worldwide and regional migrant deaths regularly used by most major news agencies IGOs & NGOs: information requests from humanitarian actors Academia: used inacademic projects in3 continents in2016s Families: contacted by more than 25 individuals in search of missing family members in 2016
34 How complete is Missing Migrants data? Data on fatalities during the migration process is challenging to collect for several reasons: The nature of irregular migration means that routes are often chosen in order to evade detection and migrants may be unwilling to give accurate information Migrant deaths at sea mean that an unknown number go missing and may not be recovered Disaggregated data on deaths means that it is difficult to find official data on a global scale Incomplete information may mean that deaths are over- or undercounted
35 What are the plans for Missing Migrants Project? Identification of key underreporting regions Annual estimates in key regions Hiring of regional researchers to act as key informants in identified regions
