DTM Niger monitors migration flows at seven key transit points around the country: Arlit, Séguédine/Madama, Magaria, Dan Barto, Dan Issa and Tahoua. In November 2019, 1,707 individuals were on average observed crossing FMPs daily. This represents a 3 per cent increase when compared to the previous month. The majority of travelers (60%) were men, while 19 per cent were women and 11 per cent were children. Niger and Nigeria were both the main countries of provenance (81% and 8%) and of destination (70% and 9%) of travellers. Nationals from Niger and Nigeria accounted for 95 per cent of all the migrants recorded at the FMPs. Economic migration, including but not limited to long-term migration of more than six months (38% of flows), seasonal migration (37%) and short-term movements (25%) were the primary types of movements observed.
