Niger: Population Flow Monitoring Dashboard #41 (Period: November 2020) Format INTRODUCTION In order to better understand migratory movements and trends in West and Central Africa, IOM, through the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), implements the activity of Monitoring flows of populations (Flow Monitoring, FM). Flow monitoring, which is implemented in close collaboration with the authorities and national and local partners, is made up of two tools: the Flow Monitoring registry (FMR), which collects key data on the extent, origin, destination and methods of mobility flows, and individual surveys (Flow Monitoring Survey, FMS), conducted among travelers in order to obtain information on the profiles, migratory routes and intentions of migrants. The monitoring of population flows thus collects data on migratory flows and trends, the profiles of travelers and the journeys and intentions of migrants, in order to provide a better understanding of mobility in West and Central Africa.
