The ability to provide humanitarian assistance is highly dependent on trends and patterns of human mobility. The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) gathers and analyses data to disseminate critical multilayered information on displaced and mobile populations. DTM tracks mobility and displacement over time, monitoring trends and dynamics in populations, needs and flows. Humanitarian actors and governments require information on the location and composition of the affected population to deliver services and respond to needs in a timely manner. IOM, through DTM, will continue to deliver a variety of tools based on monthly data and regular analyses. The information provided will play an essential role, both in country and at regional and global levels, to enable decision makers and responders to make evidence-based decisions and provide crisis-affected populations with context-specific, therefore better, assistance.

Objective

Promote evidence-based decision-making through timely and accurate information on displacement and the needs of persons affected by crises.

Key Results
  • Information on displacement trends is available to partners.
  • The capacities of the Government and partners in data collection and information management are enhanced.
  • Data on cross-border movements is available to partners.
