Africa Migration Report: Second Edition
Connecting the Threads - Linking Policy, Practice and the Welfare of the African Migrant
The Second Edition of the Africa Migration Report (AMRII) takes a regional approach on migration and human mobility by producing knowledge and analysis that will contribute to the African integration agenda. Building on the success and lessons drawn from the first edition, it will generate qualitative research, data and knowledge on migration in the continent to embed human mobility into broader development and continental integration policies as outlined in the African Union Agenda 2063. The report focuses on the different policy frameworks, processes and thematic areas on the status of continental integration. The report takes into consideration the cross-cutting topic of migration and health, climate-induced migration trends, data-based analysis of current and future human mobility trends, migration and trade, labour mobility, missing persons, and the role of new technology in facilitating interconnectivity and human mobility in Africa.
World Migration Report 2024
Since 2000, IOM has been producing its flagship world migration reports every two years. The World Migration Report 2024, the twelfth in the world migration report series, has been produced to contribute to increased understanding of migration and mobility throughout the world. The last two years saw major migration and displacement events that have caused great hardship and trauma, as well as loss of life. In addition to the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, millions of people have been displaced due to other conflicts, such as within and/or from the Syrian Arab Republic, Yemen, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Sudan, Ethiopia and Myanmar. There have also been large scale displacements triggered by climate- and weather-related disasters in many parts of the world in 2022 and 2023, including in Pakistan, the Philippines, China, India, Bangladesh, Brazil and Colombia. Further, in February 2023, south-east Türkiye and northern Syrian Arab Republic experienced powerful earthquakes, resulting in more than 50,000 deaths. By March, an estimated 2.7 million people had been displaced in Türkiye and many had been left homeless in the Syrian Arab Republic. This new edition presents key data and information on migration as well as thematic chapters on highly topical migration issues and is structured to focus on two key contributions for readers. Part I includes key information on migration and migrants (including migration-related statistics); and part II includes balanced, evidence-based analysis of complex and emerging migration issues.

Human Rights at International Borders: A Trainer's Guide
This is a joint publication of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the UN Office on Counter-Terrorism. This Trainer’s Guide seeks to help trainers prepare, organize and deliver a training course on Human Rights at International Borders. The course itself is a capacity-building tool for individuals working in border governance to adopt a human rights-based and gender-responsive approach to migration governance, including with a focus on migrants in vulnerable situations at international borders. The Trainer’s Guide is designed for UN and government officials, national human rights institutions, non-governmental organizations, trade unions, other relevant civil society actors and humanitarian actors.
Use of New Data Sources for Measuring International Migration
The publication discusses the ways in which big data and other new data sources (that is, different from conventional sources like sample surveys, population censuses and administrative data) can be used for measuring international migration and cross-border mobility. The publication presents national experiences with big data and new data sources collected through two surveys among national statistical offices. The publication concludes that national statistical offices have limited experiences in the use of new data sources for migration statistics. However, the potential of new data sources to address emerging migration issues and urgent data needs is promising. Sharing and updating of relevant information and tools will facilitate the use of big data and new data sources for measuring migration and cross-border mobility. The publication was prepared by a task force established by the Conference of European Statisticians.
Migration and Development Within and Across Borders
Research and Policy Perspectives on Internal and International Migration
Research and policy interest in the linkages between migration and development is probably at an all-time high, with numerous meetings, studies and publications devoted to the subject. At the international level there are renewed efforts to promote policy dialogue between states concerned with issues relating to migration and development. For example, the UN General Assembly organized in 2006 a High Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development in New York and in 2007, the Global Forum on Migration and Development was launched in Brussels.
International Dialogue on Migration No. 34
Overlapping Global Crises: The Impacts of Food Insecurity and Climate Change on Migration and Displacement
Food security, water security, environmental security and livelihood security are all affected by climate change and can influence mobility patterns. In 2022, we have witnessed the combined impacts of climate change and food insecurity, and the proliferation of acute situations across the world, leading to disruption in food supply chain and rising prices of grain, fertilizer and energy. This has resulted in compounded risks for communities already under severe stress, especially in low-income countries, and lead to protracted displacement and increased humanitarian needs. These situations call for longer-term development, adaptation and disaster risk reduction policies to avert and minimize displacement, strengthen the resilience of migrants and communities and promote sustainable societies and livelihoods.
Migration in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic: A Country Profile 2023
Instituted in 2005 by the European Commission, the Migration Profile serves as a foundational tool for collecting migration-related data, facilitating evidence-driven policy-making. The initiative seeks to emphasize the significance of integrating migration into broader policy planning through an evidence-based, collaborative approach. The formulation of the inaugural Migration Profile in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic is a substantial breakthrough, amplifying the policymaking capacity of the Government as it looks towards achieving the goals set out in the 9th National Socioeconomic Development Plan 2021–2025.
Ziway or Dubai: Can Flower Farms in Ethiopia Reduce Migration to the Middle East?
Authored by Kerilyn Schewel, this publication in the IOM Migration Research Series explores the aspirations, opportunities and constraints young women navigate as they transition into adulthood, and the rationale behind a decision to migrate as a domestic worker. Based on an in-depth study of the migration decision-making of young women in one rural district of Oromia, Ethiopia, it shows how migration to the Middle East is one way to avoid an early marriage and to access capital otherwise unavailable to low-skilled women in Ethiopia. It then evaluates work opportunities at one Dutch-owned flower farm in the same district, and shows why these jobs will not necessarily act as a substitute to international migration.
“We Are the Ones They Come to When Nobody Can Help” Afghan Smugglers' Perceptions of Themselves and Their Communities
Authored by Abdullah Mohammadi, Ruta Nimkar and Emily Savage, this publication in the Migration Research Series analyses the perceptions that Afghan smugglers have of themselves and of their relationships with their communities in Afghanistan. The paper is based on interviews with 23 smugglers in three sites in Afghanistan and considers community dynamics and low-level smugglers rather than high-level organizers of smuggling networks. It highlights that smuggling networks have a long-standing and respected place in Afghan culture. The paper also provides an analysis of factors that affect perceptions of and trust in smugglers among Afghan society. It concludes with some implications to support policy responses and programming concerning migrant smuggling and migration in Afghanistan.
Reimagining Migration and Mobility
New Ideas for an Age-old Human Phenomenon
In the face of the world’s unprecedented pace of change, the necessity for foresight in governance and multilateral cooperation has never been more acute. Recognizing this, IOM engaged School of International Futures, a global nonprofit organization, to draw upon its “three horizons” methodology and work with some of the leading migration practitioners and scholars in the world to “re-imagine migration and mobility”. Through a collaborative approach, involving a wide array of external partners and stakeholders, this project leverages IOM’s global convening power to foster strategic foresight on migration and mobility. This initiative aligns with the United Nations Secretary-General’s vision outlined in the United Nations Common Agenda and is one modest component of IOM’s contribution towards the United Nations Summit of the Future in September 2024. This publication offers the chance for reflection on migration and mobility in a highly competitive and contested world towards a more constructive and evidence-based narrative on migration that underpins informed decision-making going forward.
Region on the Move: Regional Mobility Report for the Middle East and North Africa 2021–2022
Migration is deeply ingrained in the lives and livelihoods of people in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The region witnesses three key migration patterns: labour migration, mixed migration, and displacement. Migration in the region in 2021–2022 was influenced by the pull of economic opportunity, push of conflict, environmental degradation, and youth unemployment. The Region on the Move report describes migration trends at the regional level with a particular focus on socioeconomic challenges and climate risks in the MENA region. It also discusses the multidimensionality of vulnerability impacting migrants as well as opportunities for migrants in MENA.
Mapping the Rwandan Diaspora in the United States of America
This report is on a mapping exercise that took place in the USA from November 2021 to March 2022. The study aimed to gain insights into the socioeconomic profile, professional skills and expertise of this population and assess their capacity, level of interest and motivation to participate and engage in development-related activities in Rwanda. Key informants and opinion leaders (including former community leaders and other, independent leaders), as well as ordinary diasporans, through their participation in focus group discussions, provided invaluable insights. These respondents represent the complex and diverse socioeconomic profiles and experiences of the Rwandan diaspora in the United States. The report proposes a list of recommendations on ways to match or align Government-led projects and initiatives with skills available in the Rwandan diaspora in the United States and enhance the substantial engagement already in place: (a) developing creative strategies to recruit diaspora talent; (b) devising incentive schemes to attract talent; (c) promoting short-term engagements to individuals already employed in the diaspora; (d) leveraging video conferencing technologies for synchronous e-learning and e-mentoring (strategies already mentioned in previous Rwandan diaspora mapping reports); and (e) establishing sustained and adequate communication strategies to reach the Rwandan diaspora in the United States.
