The report tracks migrant flows within the country at key entry, exit and transit points for migrants. Data collected at each point includes the number of migrants present, migrant arrivals and departures observed, along with main nationalities, modes of transport used to arrive and depart, the last location where migrants came from and their next intended destination. Data was also collected on the length of stay of migrants at each point.
During the reporting period, 10,122 migrant arrivals and 11,091 migrant departures were observed across assessed Flow Monitoring Points in Libya. Findings indicate that 40% of migrants present had been at the observed points for 6 months or more. The majority of migrants were adult (97%) and male (97%). Of the minors observed, 60% were unaccompanied.
DTM Libya’s efforts have extended beyond displacement data. Capping 10 months of intensive work with Libya’s Central Bureau of Statistics, Ministry of Planning, OCHA and partner UN agencies, the programme helped develop an updated Common Operational Dataset for Libya. The dataset and associated files are available at https://data.humdata.org/dataset/admin-boundaries-villages-libya-cods
Co-funded by the European Union and DFID, Libya’s DTM regularly publishes data and reports on migration, displacement and return through Mobility Tracking and Flow Monitoring modules alongside a newly introduced biweekly Displacement Event Tracker dashboard.
