To better understand the demographic profiles, living conditions and reintegration processes of Afghan returnees, IOM, under the EU-funded project “Displacement Tracking Matrix Regional Evidence for Migration Analysis and Policy (DTM REMAP)”, developed the Returnee Longitudinal Survey (RLS).

This report provides a snapshot of the seventh round of RLS data collection, which took place from 20 August to 3 September 2022 among Afghan migrants who had returned from Türkiye or the EU between January 2018 and July 2021. A total of 575 returnees (499 from Türkiye and 76 from the EU) were interviewed over the phone across 94 districts in 16 provinces.
