DTM Niger monitors migration flows at seven key transit points around the country: Arlit, Séguédine/Madama, Magaria, Dan Barto, Dan Issa and Tahoua. In June 2020, 1,506 individuals were on average observed crossing FMPs daily. This represents a 11 per cent increase when compared to the previous month. The majority of travelers (66%) were men, while 21 per cent were women and 13 per cent were children. Niger and Nigeria were both the main countries of provenance (83% and 8%) and of destination (92% and 6%) of travellers. Nationals from Niger and Nigeria accounted for 96 per cent of all the migrants recorded at the FMPs. Seasonal migration (39% of the flows), Short-term movements (36%) and economic migration, including but not limited to long-term migration of more than six months (24%) were the primary types of movements observed.
