What is DTM How can DTM MultiSectoral Location

What is DTM? How can DTM Multi-Sectoral Location Assessment be useful for Partners? Briefing for Partners include Clusters, Authorities, WGs, Sectors, Donors,

Objective of this Session At the end of this session you will be able to: 1. List the 4 DTM components 2. List Strengths and Limitations of DTM Multi Sectoral Location Assessment 3. List uses of DTM Data by partners 4. Know where to find DTM Data and further information on DTM online

DTM OPERATIONS OVERVIEW Since its inception in Iraq in 2004, DTM has expanded its coverage to reach 80 countries. Past and present implementation contexts include conflicts, natural disasters and complex emergency settings, from smallscale & short-term to large-scale and protracted displacement & migration crises.

MOBILITY TRACKING DTM Components Tracks mobility and crosssectoral needs in locations of interest (systematically) Sub-components: • Baseline Area/ Sub Area • Multi Sectoral Location Assessment (Stock population) • Emergency Event Tracking (Sudden large movement of population) Tracks movement of flows at specific points Groups and Location REGISTRATION Registers individuals or households for beneficiary selection, vulnerability targeting and programming Sub-components: • Rapid Emergency Registrations • Biometric Registration FLOW MONITORING Sub-components: High mobility location assessment Flow Monitoring Registry SURVEYs Households and Individuals Gather specific information using sample from population of interest Examples: • Return Intention • Community Perception • Displacement Solutions • Flow Monitoring Surveys

Not all DTM components are always rolled out in every country: DTM is implemented according to need, so different components may be rolled out in different countries.

We look at Location Assessment MOBILITY TRACKING Sub-components: • Baseline Area Assessment • Baseline Sub Area Assessment • Multi Sectoral Location Assessment (Stock) • Emergency Event Tracking (Sudden large movement of population) Groups and Location When • Initial displacement • Protracted displacement • Regular monitoring How? • Key informants Interviews (Not sectoral experts) • Enumerators observation (Not sectoral experts) Where? • Locations: IDP Camps/Sites/Villages/Neighb ourhood

How is DTM Multi-Sectoral Location Assessment implemented? DTM Location Assessment: • It is implemented at regular intervals & can monitor changes over time • It collect inter-sectoral data (population, locations…), in addition to some sectors-specific data • Is carried out mostly through Key Informants Interviews and Observation • Does not interview samples of individual or HH • Is carried out at community level (not at facility level) • Does not interview sectoral specialists • Enumerators are not sectoral specialists • Information is triangulated with more key informants per location

Obstacles to meeting basic needs & DTM Location Assessment focuses on access, availability and quality • Obstacles to meeting basic needs are normally related to quality, availability Availability awareness, use of or access to goods or services. • Issues related to awareness Production and use generally require household-based Trade assessment approaches • DTM Location Assessment Stock uses primarily Key Informants Interviews: therefore it mostly focus on Transfer issues related to access, availability and quality of goods and services. Types of Obstacles to meeting basic needs Access Quality Use Awareness Physical Human resources Knowledge Message Financial Safety Attitude Channel Security Reliability Practice Frequency Social discrimina tion Diversity Dignity Visual is adapted from: Basic Needs Assessment Guidance and Toolbox, available at: https: //reliefweb. int/report/world/basic-needs-assessment-guidance-and-toolbox

Strengths and Limitations of DTM Location Assessment Strengths Limitations • Cannot ask questions that require a specific sectoral knowledge • Cannot provide statistically representative information • Cannot replace sectoral, indepth assessments /monitoring tools • Is not programme monitoring • Has often a very large territorial reach within the country • Is implemented in a large number of crisis (very likely you will find a DTM exercise in your country of operation) • It is flexible, and can be adjusted according to the needs of humanitarian actors: it provides useful data for response • Data are shared quickly. Most data are shared publically, some through Data Agreements. Data for urgent action can be shared in real time. • Global experts, including Global Cluster and DTM have agreed on a list of recommended questions for Location Assessments

How do Partners use DTM Multi. Sectoral Location Assessment Data? • Use DTM estimates of population and groups at location and national level for planning and advocacy • Use DTM geo coordinates of locations hosting IDPs for operational decision-making • Use results to monitor change over time by location, region and at national level for planning and operational response • Use DTM data to monitor access to services in locations on an ongoing basis • Use DTM data to monitor risks in locations on an ongoing basis • Use DTM data to spot sectoral red flags/alerts, and follow up • Use DTM data to prioritize locations for their in-depth assessments

Do you want to know more on DTM? DTM Frequently Asked Questions 2 -pager answers the main questions about DTM. You can downloaded it from DTM&Partners Toolkit Methodological Framework used in Displacement Tracking Matrix Operations for Quantifying Displacement and Mobility describes DTM components in details. You can downloaded it from DTM&Partners Toolkit

Where can you find DTM reports and data? DTM public data and reports are online and available at: https: //displacement. iom. int/, and http: //www. globaldtm. info/ (through a search by Country). For questions and support, contact the DTM coordinator in your country (ask DTMSupport@iom. int for his/her contact details).

Recap Exercise Can you… • Say where to find DTM Data & Reports online? • • • Say where to find more info on DTM online? List 3 ways Partners use DTM Data? List 3 Strengths of DTM Location Assessment List 3 Limitations of DTM Location Assessment List the 4 DTM components

How can DTM and Partners better engage & obtain useful data for response? • We identified common reasons for partial use of DTM data • We jointly worked on solutions that both DTM and Partners can implement • Next segment will introduce solutions to these challenges and explain how DTM and Partners can better work together DTM & Partners Toolkit: https: //displacement. iom. int/dtm-toolkit/dtm-partners-toolkit
