INTRODUCTION ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT The development and implementation of policies and programs in West and Central Africa promoting safe, orderly and humane migration require a better understanding of human mobility in the region. Human mobility in the region take many different forms. Transhumance, seasonal migration conducted during the harvesting season, travel during religious festivities, tourism, economic migration to North Africa and Europe, the search for employment in the mining industry, forced displacements due to conflict natural disasters or climate change, rural exodus, are all examples of movements observes in West and Central Africa and show the many faceted nature of mobility in the region. This document is an attempt to provide a dynamic and regularly updated portrait of mobility within and from the West and Central Africa region, using data collected by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) but also from United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The maps contained in this document are not only meant to inform on ongoing mobility patterns, but also provide information to support direct programming (protection of migrants, support to transhumance movements, enhancement of economic opportunities existing in the region, support to safe returns of displaced people, etc.) METHODOLOGY AND DATA SOURCES Data sources for the information displayed in the following pages are provided at the bottom of each page. When reference is made to IOM data, the data was collected during: 1) Flow Monitoring Exercises, 2) Mobility Tracking, 3) Data collection exercises with individuals who benefited from voluntary returns and reintegration programs (AVRR), 4) Search and Rescue activities conducted in Niger and 5) individual interviews with IOM key informants.

Travellers moving within the region, headed for North Africa, and migrating to Europe showcase significant differences in age, marital status, education level and employment status (in country of habitual residence). The variation of the unemployment rate is also very much linked with the nature and destination of the movement (movements to WCA are more likely to be done for actual job opportunities rather than movements heading to Europe or North Africa). Further information on methodology is available at the end of the document.

NOTES This section provides additional details on data sources used on this mobility mapping FLOW MONITORING METHODOLOGY This report presents an analysis of 17,628 surveys conducted with mobile populations in the West and Central Africa region between January and June 2018. These surveys are part of IOM DTM's Flow Monitoring activities, which gather information on the numbers and characteristics of travellers observed in high mobility areas of origin, transit and destination. Surveys are conducted at Flow Monitoring Points on a sample of travellers on a daily basis (travellers may or may not be nationals). The purpose of these surveys is to collect more in-depth information on travellers, such as their nationalities, educational and vocational backgrounds, reasons for departure and intended destinations. The slide 10 present cross-border movements based on the flow monitoring registry and the slide 11 of this report presents a regional analysis by intended destinations indicated by the respondents from the flow monitoring surveys. METHODOLOGY: A Flow Monitoring Point (FMP) collects information on the number, frequency and defining features of individuals transiting a particular location. Prior to the establishment of an FMP, it is essential to identify key migration-prone areas. These locations are identified based on assessments of main migration routes at national and local levels, conducted in partnership with national and local authorities. To date, more than 30 FMPs are active in seven countries of the West and Central Africa region (Burkina Faso, Chad, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal). FMPs rely on two main tools: The Flow Monitoring Registry (FMR) and the Flow Monitoring Survey (FMS). The FMR includes direct observations at places of entry, transit or exit, as well as interviews with key informants (including transportation workers, housing workers, and migration officials) to assess movement trends, routes, and countries of origin and destination. The FMS entails more detailed individual surveys to profile people on the move, including education levels and skills/employment; drivers of migrations; and needs, risks and vulnerabilities. This document presents an analysis of surveys conducted using the FMS tool (slide 11). A similar methodology is used in other regions (Horn of Africa and Europe) to allow for comparative analysis of flows and individuals characteristics. LIMITATION: The data presented on these two slides (slides 10 and 11) is indicative of surveys conducted with individuals at FMPs in Senegal, Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Niger and Chad during the timeframe indicated. The data should not be generalized and does not represent a full picture of inter and intra-regional migration, but rather a snapshot of migration flows at specific locations. For example, while IOM aims to establish Flow Monitoring Points at locations with high transit flows (based on information from key informants), flows are fluid and FMPs can only provide a partial picture. The monitoring of flows in assessed locations should not lead to assumptions about flows in areas without flow monitoring points. DATA ON RETURNS THROUGH ASSISTED VOLUNTARY AND HUMANITARIAN RETURN PROGRAMMES Data collected on the regions of origins of migrants provides details on regions of origins of migrants that have been assisted to voluntary or humanitarian return by IOM. It is based on databases from Libya and Niger that have been aggregated and uses more than 18,000 entries dating from 2016 and 2017. An update for 2018 is currently ongoing. It does not necessarily presents the origins of all migrants identified through IOM FMP but, given the number of entries in this database, it s a fairly strong data source. EXTERNAL SOURCES UNDESA: the United Nations Departement for Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) provides regular update on its migrants stocks. Data presented do not reflect all migration stocks in each country and are likely underestimating total migrants population in the region. i.e. in Côte d Ivoire, though the total is at 2,2 million migrants, it s believe that nearly 5,5 million foreigners are living in the country. ARRIVALS IN ITALY, GREECE AND SPAIN: data presented in the slide 12 are taken from Greece, Italy and Spain national authorities. However, full nationality data is not provided and only presents top 10 nationalities of arrival. Therefore, nationality figures presented are likely underestimated. 17
