The International Organization for Migration (IOM) Pakistan’s FM provides key insights into cross-border migration trends, returning Afghan nationals to Afghanistan, their profiles, mobility patterns, routes, vulnerabilities, demographics and other social characteristics.
Between 1 and 15 March 2025, DTM border monitors (BMs) interviewed 80 heads of households1 through a Flow Monitoring Registry (FMR) form, while 2,070 Afghan returnees were identified through five border crossing points (BCPs) (see map 1). For more information on FM methodology, see page 5.
