The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has released Movement Alert Report No. 168 on Mozambique, covering the reporting window of 21 September to 2 October 2026.

The report forms part of IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix programme, which records population movements in and through Mozambique on a recurring basis. Movement Alert reports monitor flows at designated observation points and publish the recorded figures at fixed intervals.

What does the report cover?

• Country: Mozambique
• Report number: 168 in the Movement Alert series
• Reporting period: 21 September to 2 October 2026
• Publishing agency: International Organization for Migration

Each numbered instalment in the series documents movements observed during a roughly two-week window. The series has run long enough to reach 168 editions, indicating sustained, continuous monitoring rather than a one-off assessment.

Who uses these figures?

Movement Alert data feed into humanitarian planning, border management and return monitoring. Governments, United Nations agencies and aid organisations rely on the series to track displacement trends, size relief operations and plan reintegration support for people on the move.

Mozambique has experienced recurring displacement driven by conflict and natural disasters, and the Displacement Tracking Matrix provides the baseline numbers that international partners use to allocate resources.

Where can readers find the numbers?

The full report, with its movement figures for the 21 September to 2 October 2026 window, is available through the International Organization for Migration's published outputs. Readers seeking the exact totals recorded during this period should consult the report directly, as the figures appear in the document itself.
