Understanding DTM Multi-Sectoral Location Assessment for Partners

Briefing for Partners.
Partners include Clusters,
Authorities, WGs, Sectors,
Donors, IOM Programmes
and other organizations
 
What is DTM?
How can DTM 
Multi-Sectoral
Location Assessment be useful for
Partners?
 
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
 
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 small-
scale & short-term to large-scale and protracted displacement & migration crises.
DTM OPERATIONS OVERVIEW
 
DTM Components
 
MOBILITY TRACKING
 
SURVEYs
 
REGISTRATION
 
Sub-components:
Baseline Area/ Sub Area
Multi Sectoral 
Location  Assessment
(Stock population)
Emergency Event Tracking (Sudden
large movement of population)
 
Examples:
Return Intention
Community Perception
Displacement Solutions
Flow Monitoring Surveys
 
 
Sub-components:
High mobility location
assessment
Flow Monitoring Registry
 
FLOW MONITORING
Households
and
Individuals
Groups
and
Location
 
Tracks movement of
flows at specific points
 
Tracks mobility and cross-
sectoral needs in locations of
interest (systematically)
 
Sub-components:
Rapid Emergency Registrations
Biometric Registration
 
Registers individuals or
households for beneficiary
selection, vulnerability
targeting and programming
 
Gather specific
information using
sample from
population of interest
 
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.

How is DTM 
Multi-Sectoral 
Location
Assessment implemented?
 
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
 
DTM Location Assessment:
 
Obstacles to meeting basic
needs are normally related
to 
quality
, 
availability
awareness
, 
use
 of or
access
 to goods or services.
Issues related to 
awareness
and 
use 
generally require
household-based
assessment approaches
DTM Location Assessment
uses primarily Key
Informants Interviews:
therefore it mostly focus
on issues related to 
access,
availability
 and 
quality
 of
goods and services.

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
 
 
Cannot ask questions that
require a 
specific sectoral
knowledge
Cannot provide 
statistically
representative information
Cannot replace 
sectoral, in-
depth assessments /monitoring
tools
Is not 
programme monitoring

How do Partners use DTM 
Multi-
Sectoral 
Location Assessment Data?
 
 
Use DTM estimates of p
opulation 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

DTM, or Displacement Tracking Matrix, is a comprehensive tool used in 80 countries to track movements in various contexts like conflicts and natural disasters. The Multi-Sectoral Location Assessment within DTM involves components like Flow Monitoring, Mobility Tracking, and Registration Surveys to gather data for partner organizations. This briefing aims to provide an overview of DTM components, strengths, limitations, and practical uses for partners like Clusters, Authorities, WGs, Sectors, Donors, IOM Programmes, and other organizations. The assessment can be valuable for understanding population movements in emergency situations, aiding in beneficiary selection, vulnerability targeting, and programming decisions.
