Executive Summary

The primary objective of this assessment is to improve the understanding of migration trends and challenges faced by migrants in Musina and its surrounding areas, in order to address needs and improve a coordinated response among key stakeholders. The vulnerability and needs assessment covers a wide-rage of issues. For example, it examines migrants' access to basic services such as healthcare and shelter. It further explores the specific situations that migrants face during transit, repatriation and detention, including aspects of gender-based violence, safety, and protection. The sample of 1,155 respondents is drawn from migrants in Musina and surrounding areas. They were sampled using a convenience/quota sampling technique across 8 different field sites. Based on the collected data and analysis, this assessment makes specific recommendations to address the identified gaps. These recommendations are made for the benefit of IOM, its partners, and key stakeholders assisting vulnerable migrants in Musina and surrounding areas, including humanitarian organizations and government departments.
