Lesotho Migration Profile: Supporting Evidence-Based Migration-Related Policy Making and Planning in Lesotho (Phase I) The United Nations (UN) and other international organizations, governments and regional stakeholders recognize deficiencies in data collection and analysis aimed at, amongst others, understanding the nexus between migration and development. The Government of Lesotho has requested the assistance of IOM to strengthen its capacity to collect, analyse and utilize migration data, and ultimately to prepare a migration profile, i.e. a data repository, coordination and capacity-building tool, which is country-owned and prepared in consultation with a broad range of relevant stakeholders. Improving migration management at a national level has been identified as their priority. The request from the Government comes at a time when migration dynamics in the country, region and indeed globally, have become increasingly complex; however, at present in Lesotho there is a severe lack of reliable migration data and analysis on which to base policy formulation and planning. The project aims to strengthen the Bureau of Statistics capacity to coordinate among stakeholders and produce migration related data and analytical report. The Phase I (this project) will be the basis for the Phase II (production of Migration Profile).

Missing Migrants Project: Global Data Collection and Analysis of Migrant Fatalities Since 2014, IOM's Missing Migrants Project has collected and analysed data on more than 32,000 migrant deaths and disappearances worldwide. However, data on missing migrants tends to be uneven, as there is far more media coverage and reporting of deaths occurring in the Mediterranean region than other parts of the world. Few data on migrant deaths are recorded in several regions with large volumes of irregular migrants, including much of Africa, Asia, and Latin America, despite reports that these pose many dangers to migrants. Gathering more and better-quality data on missing migrants is especially important at a time when states are discussing how best to achieve safer and more orderly migration. In order to overcome the challenges of collecting data on deaths during migration, the proposed project will improve upon the Missing Migrants Project's existing data sources and strengthen partnerships with relevant state and non-state actors in those regions where there is little information on migrant deaths and disappearances.
