This session explains: • Purpose of the DTM&Partners Toolkit • Structure of the toolkit • Type of tools in the toolkit • The 3 tools to start from

Acknowledgement and thank-you The approach and tools described here were not developed in isolation: they were developed based on best practices in the humanitarian sector and through consultations with DTM, Global Cluster /Ao. R/WGs and other partners. In addition, approach and tools are adapted from work done by the Working Group on Useful and Usable Data and Analysis (EDAUUR) under the Grand Bargain work stream on Needs Assessment. The EDAUUR working group is composed by: Global Clusters and Ao. Rs (including Global CCCM Cluster, Global Child Protection Ao. R, Global Education Cluster, Global Food Security Cluster, Global GBV Ao. R, Global Health Cluster, Global Protection Cluster, Global Shelter Cluster, Global UNICEF Cluster Coordination Team, Global WASH Cluster UN Offices and Agencies (including UNHCR FICS, WFP VAM, OCHA FIS, OCHA NAAS & IOM DTM) Donors (including DIFD, ECHO, OFDA) NGOs (including Map. Action, REACH - Impact, DRC, Geneva Centre for Humanitarian Demining, Terre Des Hommes Lausanne) and Other organizations and initiatives (including ACAPS, JIPS, PIM, ICRC) This work is the result of years of combined experience and months of targeted effort: DTM team is grateful to all those who contributed.

Purpose of the DTM & Partners Toolkit helps effective cooperation for useful and usable data • Tools help DTM and Partners in the field effectively cooperate to obtain useful and usable data from DTM. • Tools are designed to accompany DTM and Partners through the common approach (explained in previous briefing). • Most tools are of interest to both DTM and Partners. • Tools guide and help IM/data experts, Subject.
