IOM works with national and local authorities and local partners to identify and understandmigration movements in West and Central Africa. Flow monitoring is an activity that quantifiesand qualifies flows, migrant profiles, trends and migration routes at a given point of entry, transitor exit. Since February 2016, IOM Niger has been monitoring migration flows at two points acrossNiger: Séguédine and Arlit.The data collected provides an overview of migration in the region. The information is collectedfrom primary sources. However, this monitoring of migration flows does not replace bordersurveillance. Similarly, the results presented in this report do not reflect the total flow of migrantsthrough the Agadez region due to the size of the Sahara Desert, which covers more than 700,000km2 and has a large number of roads crisscrossing the region.
In addition to the 3 FMPs (Dan Barto,Magaria and Tahoua) activated in August, anew FMP was also set up in Niger (Dan Issa)in September. The aim was to betterunderstand migration routes along thesouthern part of Niger and to complementthe existing FMPs in Arlit and Séguédine.There are now three cross border FMPs (DanIssa, Dan Barto and Magaria) on the borderbetween Niger and Nigeria, which stretchesover 1000 km. The FMP at Tahoua was setup to help understand internal movementflows as it is situated in central Niger,sharing a border with the Tillabery region inthe east, Nigeria in the south and theAgadez region in the north.
FLOW MONITORING POINTS
METHODOLOGY : Flow monitoring is an investigative work that aims to highlight and increaseunderstanding of internal, cross-border and intraregional migration. Areas of high mobility areidentified across the country. DTM teams then conduct assessments at the local level to identifystrategic transit points. Enumerators collect data using key informants at the flow monitoringpoints; they may be staff at bus stations, police or customs officials, bus or truck drivers ormigrants themselves. A basic questionnaire mixed with direct observations makes it possible tocollect disaggregated data by sex and nationality. In Niger, the flow monitoring points were chosenafter consultation with national and local stakeholders involved in migration management, andaccording to the locations and characteristics of the flows transiting through the Sahara Desert.The data collection is done at times when the flows are the most frequent.LIMITS : The data used in this analysis including the maps is an estimate and represents only a partof the existing flows on the routes Agadez - Arlit – Assamaka; Agadez - Séguédine – Sebha; andsouthern routes. The spatial and temporal coverage of these surveys is partial, although thecollection is done daily and during periods when flows are significant. Finally, no information iscollected on existing flows outside the times covered. Vulnerability data is based on directobservations by the enumerators and should be understood only as an estimate.

The four new FMPs will be piloted in the coming months to understand the added value of theFMPs towards a more holistic understanding of migration trends in Niger. Based on the initialfindings from the new FMPs, there may be adjustments made to the new FMPs based on anincreased understanding of migration patterns and routes.

SEPTEMBER 2018*
During the month of September 2018, 35,379individuals were observed transiting through the6 active FMPs.Outflows observed (17,127 individuals) represent49 per cent of all flows, while incoming flows(12,118 persons) represent 34 per cent. Inaddition, 6,134 individuals or 17 per cent of flowswere observed moving internally.The observed outgoing flows were observed at:Séguédine (17%) followed by Magaria (10%), DanIssa (9%) and Arlit (8%); 4 per cent of outgoingflows were observed at the Dan Barto FMP and 1per cent at the Tahoua FMP.Most of the incoming flows were observed atSéguédine (11%), Magaria (10%), Dan Issa (6%),Arlit (4%) and Dan Barto (3%) FMPs.Internal movements are mainly observed at theDan Barto FMP (12%), followed by Magaria (3%)and Arlit (2%).
The data in the graph below presents thetotal number of migrants identified at theFlow Monitoring Points (FMP) of Arlit andSéguédine for the period January 2017 –September 2018. The month of June 2018had the lowest overall number ofindividuals observed at the FMPs thus farin 2018. In contrast, the month of May2018 recorded the highest number ofobserved individuals during the first halfof the year.The increase in flows in Niger inSeptember 2018 may be linked to the factthat migrants returning to Niger at thebeginning of the rainy season return backafter the harvest (August and September).Nigerien migrants, usually from rural areas,keep their crops in the granary and comeback when the rainy season approaches,usually between May and June.
MIGRATION TRENDS IN 2018* COMPARISON BETWEEN 2017 & 2018*
There is a general trend of more migrantsentering Niger rather than leaving Niger fromJanuary to August 2017 for the Arlit andSéguédine FMPs, with a peak of 27,239migrants entering in February 2017. Thisincrease in inflows may be attributed to threephenomena: a stricter control of migrationincluding the criminalization of personsinvolved in irregular migration; thedeterioration of the security situation in Libya;and the repatriation efforts of Nigeriennationals from Algeria. However, the trendreverses with more outgoing flows thanincoming flows from September 2017 untilApril 2018. Then in May 2018, the trendreversed again with the highest number ofmigrants recorded entering Niger during thefirst half of 2018.

The Arlit flow monitoring point captures both cross-border flows to and from Algeria, as well asinternal movements. The Arlit FMP has been active since February 2016.During this month, more outgoing flows (2,770) than incoming flows (1,317) were observed. Themain departure cities included Arlit, Assmaka and Agadez (Niger) while the main destinationcities included: Assamaka, Arlit and Algerian villages located near the boarder (Note: themajority of migrants passing through the Arlit FMP choose not to disclose their final destinationgiven the sensitivities. In reality, most migrants transiting through Assamaka intend to travel tocities within Algeria including Inguezzam). In comparison with the previous month, the numberof outgoing and incoming flows has increased. The outgoing flow increased by 60 per centwhile the incoming flow increased by 37 per cent. The increase may be due to the fact thatNigerien migrants coming back to Niger at the beginning of the rainy season tend to returnafter the harvest (August and September). Nigerien migrants, usually from rural areas, keep theircrops in the granary and go to exodus to come back when the rainy season approaches, usuallybetween May and June.The main reasons cited for movement continue to be seasonal migration (51%) and economicmigration (49%). The main nationalities observed crossing the Arlit FMP this month includedNigerien (63%), Nigerian (5%), Chadian and Malian (4% each) nationals, other nationalitiesinclude Guinean, Sudanese, Cameroonian and Senegalese among others.

The Séguédine flow monitoring point captures cross-border flows to and from neighbouringcountries, mainly Libya. The Séguédine FMP has been active since February 2016.
A daily average of 335 individuals were observed crossing through the Séguédine FMP this month,which is an increase of 44 per cent compared to the previous month when 233 were crossing theboarder each day. During this month, more outgoing than incoming flows were observed. The maindeparture and destination cities included Agadez (Niger) and Sebha (Libya). This increase may bedue to the fact that Nigerien migrants engaged in farming activities usually return back afterharvest, which generally starts in August and ends in September.
The main reasons for movements observed remain the same as in previous months: economicmigration (34%), short term local movement (33%) and seasonal migration (33%) this monthand the previous month for each type of flow. Nigerien (88%), Libyan (8%) and Nigerian (2%)nationals were the main population groups observed.

The Magaria flow monitoring point was established to observe cross-border flows between Nigerand Nigeria, as well as internal flows. Magaria is a town on the border between Niger and Nigeria,through which high volumes of flows originating from Nigeria pass; Nigeria is one of the mainsending countries for migrants traveling towards the Mediterranean. The Magaria FMP has beenactive since August 2018.
A daily average of 274 individuals passing through the Magaria FMP was observed during thismonth with equal outgoing flows (43%) and incoming flows (43%) and a smaller proportion ofinternal movements (14%). All flows observed were heading towards Niger and Nigeria. Primarilycoming from the departure cities of: Magaria, Zinder and Dachi (Niger); and Kano, Babura andGarki (Nigeria). The reasons for migration for the majority of flows were classified as short termlocal movement (74%) and economic migration (25%); seasonal migration which represented40 per cent of flows last month dropped to 1 per cent of observed flow this month.
Magaria is used mostly by Nigerien and Nigerian traders who have traditionally maintained aneconomic exchange.
The main nationalities passing trough this FMP are : Nigerien (79%), Nigerian (20%), as well asother nationalities (Cameroonian, Beninese and Mauritanian) that represent 1 per cent.
The main means of transport used are private vehicles (92%), followed by trucks (5%), motorbikes(2%) and bus (1%).

The Dan Barto flow monitoring point captures cross-border flows between Niger and Nigeria.Dan Barto is a town near the border with Nigeria through which high volumes of flowsoriginating from Nigeria pass, often traveling towards the Mediterranean via Agadez andLibya. The Dan Barto FMP has been active since August 2018.
A daily average of 220 individuals passing through the Dan Barto FMP was observed duringthis month with more outgoing flows (21%) than incoming flows (16%). The majority ofindividuals transiting trough the Dan Barto FMP are doing short term local movements (95%).
The main reasons cited for migrating were overwhelmingly short-term local movements(95%) and seasonal migration (4%), while the remaining 1% cited economic migration as themain motivating factor. Dan Barto is mostly used by Nigerien and Nigerian traders whomaintain a close economic relationship. Nigerien nationals travel to Nigeria to purchase goodswhile Nigerian nationals travel to Niger to purchase items, such as animals and food (millet,beans, etc.).
The main nationalities observed crossing the FMP include: Nigerien (79%), Nigerian (20%) andBeninese (1%). The majority were observed using buses (42%) and private vehicles (27%),followed by motorbikes (21%) and trucks (10%).
