Americas Mixed Migration Monitoring: Trends and Needs for Q1 2023

The Americas region experienced significant mixed movements of people in early 2023. This monitoring project by UNHCR and WFP, later joined by UNICEF, collected data on drivers, profiles, risks, and needs of asylum-seekers, refugees, and vulnerable migrants. The data aims to inform evidence-based decision-making and humanitarian responses.

Use Cases

• Profiling vulnerable populations based on the description of asylum-seekers, refugees, and unaccompanied children.
• Assessing protection and food security needs based on the stated project objectives.
• Evaluating child-related indicators based on UNICEF's contribution to nutrition, health, and education data.

Strengths

• Data is produced by authoritative UN agencies (UNHCR, WFP, UNICEF).
• Focuses on multiple critical dimensions: drivers, profiles, risks, and needs.
• Project launched in 2023 with UNICEF joining in Q2 2024, indicating ongoing collaboration.
