News: "Routes Monitor" - New Tool from UNHCR

To support a route-based analysis of mixed movements, UNHCR has launched a new data platform that "brings together multiple sources of information – including from UNHCR, national authorities, UN and NGO partners, and media and social media monitoring – to show evolving trends, highlight protection needs and support more effective responses along entire journeys." 

Currently, users can view trends and patterns for five routes that have more abundant monitoring data available: Central Med., Eastern Med., Western Med., Western Africa Atlantic, South & South-East Asia. Each route also includes country-level figures. More general resource pages are provided for five other routes for which more limited data are available: Americas, Eastern Route to Yemen and the Gulf, Southern Africa, Western Balkans, Western Indian Ocean. 

A "Special Features" page also provides access to statistical info on "Main Nationalities," "Disembarkations" and the "Dead or Missing at Sea." 

For more information on the route-based approach to addressing mixed movements of refugees and migrants, visit this webpage in UNHCR's Operational Data Portal.
