Description:
This project seeks to support the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) primary data collection program, which helps track and monitor displacement and population mobility, provide critical information to decision-makers and responders during humanitarian crises, and deepen understanding of population flows around the world. The project will target the following countries: Myanmar, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Ukraine, Yemen, and South Sudan. The list of countries identified aligns with IOM’s assessment of where DTM needs are most critical and where funding can have the greatest impact. The list of countries was also consulted with OCHA.
The proposed allocation will enable IOM’s DTM to strengthen its capacity for comprehensive data collection and in-depth analysis on displacement. This investment will generate timely, reliable, and actionable information for decision-makers, enhancing the effectiveness of humanitarian planning and response. The allocation will contribute to saving lives, reducing suffering, and safeguarding human dignity in countries affected by crises by improving evidence-based prioritization of resources, particularly for donors.
Expected Results:
Canada’s support to IOM-DTM will enhance responses to, and preparedness for?crises through better integration of data systems and humanitarian action, strengthening national and local capacities on displacement tracking, and enhancing predictive analytics, ethical data collection and accountable data use promoting accountability towards affected populations. Overall, the DTM primary data collecting serves?as a key response and accountability tool. DTM assessments highlight persistent gaps and serve to inform relevant actors where?assistance?is most needed.?
Support will be country specific depending on relevant needs. The overall expected result is to enhance humanitarian partners’ ability to meet affected populations’ needs and strengthening donor capacity, including Canadian donors, to target resources effectively.?
