ABOUT MIGRATION TRACKING MATRIX
Migration Tracking Matrix (MTM) is a system based on the IOMs Global Displacement tracking matrix – DTM (https://dtm.iom.int/), which is aimed at tracking and monitoring displacement and population mobility, providing critical information to decision-makers and responders during crises and contributing to a better understanding of migration flows. DTM was first conceptualized in 2004 to monitor internal displacement in Iraq and has since been adapted for implementation in over 120 countries.
OBJECTIVES
Migration reports provide governments with policy-relevant information on migration trends, including migration flow estimates and historical data. Coordinated data activities can inform relevant actors about patterns related to fragility, mobility solutions, etc. This quarterly report is dedicated to the first quarter of 2023. It is designed to offer an update on the most recent migration patterns in Kazakhstan, including migration flow, number of residence permits and remittance, as well as the regional distribution of migrants.
METHODOLOGY
The compilation report on migration in Kazakhstan is developed by collating secondary data obtained from various sources such as government agencies, international organizations, non-profit organizations, and other entities. The compilation report for the first quarter of 2023 was sourced from organizations such as the National Statistics Committee, Border Service, Ministry of Internal Affairs, National Bank, and the Bureau of National Statistics. The data were gathered through a combination of published sources and direct requests to the government.
