IOM Lebanon - Migrant Presence Monitoring (August 2025)

Attachments

This report presents the findings of the Migrant Presence Monitoring (MPM) data collection exercise conducted by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Lebanon between June and July 2025. The MPM is an annual assessment designed to estimate the number of migrants in Lebanon to support humanitarian assistance and planning efforts.

To ensure accuracy, the MPM relies on key informants (KIs), including representatives from migrant communities and local leaders such as mukhtars and municipal officials. The assessment focuses on neighborhood level (Admin 4) to gather detailed and precise information. It categorizes migrants by nationality, sex, and age, while also considering their living situations, distinguishing between “live-in” and “live-out” migrants.

Overall, the MPM provides valuable insights into Lebanon’s migrant population, contributing to informed decision-making and effective support for those in need.
