IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has become an increasingly important source of data for us. In some countries, such as Iraq, we have collaborated with IOM in designing the DTM questionnaire and methodology. Even when this does not happen, it is the tool used to collect much of the data we analyse, even when we obtain it from another source (see figure 3.4). For example, in the DRC we obtain conflict-related displacement data from the Commission Mouvements de Population (CMP), who in turn relies on the DTM for part of its data collection. The same is true for Burundi, CAR, Mali, Somalia, Syria, Yemen and several other countries. Dem. Rep.

Some notable exceptions include Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines in 2013 and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, for each of which IOM collected time-series data over a period of several years. The DTM has played a contributing role even when we receive data from government authorities. For example, the data-collection system used by the Philippines’ Department of Social Welfare and Development was based on the DTM and set up with support from IOM.
