Americas Mixed Movements Monitoring: Trends and Needs, 2023 Q3

UNHCR and WFP launched a regional monitoring project in 2023 to track mixed movements in the Americas. The data focuses on drivers of mobility, individual profiles, risks, transit conditions, food security, child protection, and intentions. UNICEF joined the project in Q2 2024, contributing to child-related indicator analysis.

Use Cases

• Assessing protection and food security needs in transit countries based on the stated data collection objectives.
• Evaluating child-related humanitarian assistance based on UNICEF's contribution to nutrition, health, and education indicators.

Strengths
