Between 17 September and 30 December 2024, 6,264 migratory movements were observed at DTM Kenya’s four Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) in and around Nairobi: Eastleigh, Kangemi, the Roysombu-Thika road and Athi River.
The migrants were primarily youth. Nearly half (49%) of all interviewed migrants were in the 18–29 age group, with 44 per cent of all female migrants and 53 per cent of all male migrants between 18 and 29 years old. Among younger age groups, around a fifth of females (21%) and just over one in ten males (13%) were between 5 to 17 years of age. A smaller proportion—roughly one in ten females (12%) and one in twenty males (5%)—were children aged 0–4 years. Taken together, it is noteworthy and important for protection-focused interventions, that 18 per cent of all male, and 33 per cent of all female migrants, were children. Among the migrants interviewed, children under five (44%) represented the largest ‘vulnerable’ group, followed by individuals with chronic physical health conditions (25%).
