Ethiopia — Rural to Urban Movements in Somali Region, Internal Flow Monitoring Dashboard (June 2023)

In order to increase the availability of evidence on rural to urban migration flows and trends, as well as needs, coping mechanisms and motivations of drought-affected persons, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Data and Research Unit (DRU), through the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) methodology, set up two internal Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) in Gode and Jigjiga, two major urban centres in the Somali region of Ethiopia.

This dashboard focuses on data collected in June 2023 through the Flow Monitoring Registry (FMR) tool in Gode and Jigjiga FMPs. In June 2023, 11,228 movements were observed, 7,006 of which were through Gode FMP (62.40%) and 4,222 through Jigjiga FMP (37.60%).
