Background

The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) is an information management tool developed by the International Organization for migration to gather baseline information on displaced populations and the conditions in the areas in which they have temporarily settled. DTM has been rolled out in over 30 countries including Haiti, Pakistan, Mali, the Philippines, and South Sudan. DTM was first implemented in Iraq in 2006 to track the movements of internally displaced people (IDPs) during the wave of sectarian violence.
