IOM works with national and local authorities in order to gain a better understanding of population movements throughout West and Central Africa. To that end, it has set up Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) to quantify and qualify migration flows, trends and routes, at key entry, transit or exit points. Furthermore, FMPs gather qualitative information on travelers profiles, countries of provenance and intended destinations and modes of transport.
In Burkina Faso, Flow Monitoring is conducted at key transit points in Ouagadougou since 2017, as well as in Dori/Seytenga, Kantchari, Faramana and Yendéré since 2018.
The present report shows results from FMR and FMS.
