Afghanistan Border Mobility Flow Monitoring Data from 2024 to 2026

DTM Flow Monitoring by IOM Afghanistan tracks mobility patterns at border points with Iran and Pakistan. The data covers ten crossing points, including four on Afghanistan's National Highway, from January 2024 to May 2026. It counts total movements, not unique individuals, meaning a person leaving and returning counts as two separate flows.

Use Cases

• Analyze seasonal migration patterns based on inflow and outflow counts at border points.
• Model border crossing traffic based on data from ten specific crossing points.
• Assess the impact of regional events on mobility based on movement data spanning over two years.

Strengths

• Data collection covers ten specific border crossing points.
• The reporting period spans from January 2024 to May 2026.
• Data is collected by the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
