. This report presents findings from data collected between December 2025 and March 2026 across ten Flow Monitoring Points (FMPs) in CRR-S, CRR-N, NBR, and LRR. Data collection was conducted through direct observation and interviews by DTM enumerators, with financial support from the United Nations
Key takeaway Similarly, 90 per cent of recorded livestock movements were cross-border, highlighting the strong regional dimension of transhumance in The Gambia.
Why this matters
The transhumance movements in The Gambia, as documented in this report, have significant implications for regional stability and humanitarian response. The fact that 90% of herders are Senegalese nationals and 90% of livestock movements are cross-border highlights the need for coordinated efforts between The Gambia and Senegal to address the challenges and opportunities presented by these seasonal migrations. The strategic coordination of herder movements, with family members assessing security conditions before relocating herds, suggests a level of adaptability and resilience among these communities. However, it also underscores the importance of accurate and timely data collection, such as that provided by the Flow Monitoring Points, to inform humanitarian planning and response. As the region continues to experience seasonal transhumance movements, it will be crucial to monitor these flows and respond to the needs of both the herding communities and the host populations in The Gambia.
