Key takeaway During April 2026, the team tracked a total of 27,449 individual movements.
Why this matters
The Flow Monitoring Registry's latest report on cross-border movements in South Sudan highlights the complex dynamics of migration in the region. With over 27,000 individual movements tracked in April 2026, the data reveals that family-related reasons are the primary driver of movement, accounting for 38% of respondents. This suggests that humanitarian organizations and development partners should prioritize support for family reunification and social services. The significant proportion of economic reasons, such as searching for livelihood opportunities, also underscores the need for targeted interventions to address poverty and income loss. Furthermore, the fact that 57% of movements were internal suggests that displacement and migration are not solely cross-border issues, but also require attention to domestic displacement and mobility patterns. As humanitarian organizations and governments respond to these needs, they must consider the intersection of family, economic, and security factors that drive migration in South Sudan.
