INTRODUCTION
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is part of the United Nations System and stands as the leading intergovernmental organization in the field of migration. The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) is IOM’s primary data collection programme. Operational in over 100 countries since 2004 and in 91 countries in 2024, DTM gathers and analyses data to disseminate critical multi-layered information on the mobility, vulnerabilities, and needs of displaced and mobile populations, enabling decision makers and responders to provide these populations with better context specific assistance.
PURPOSE
The DTM Insight report seeks to enhance accessibility to DTM data and analysis by providing monthly updates on human mobility in locations where DTM is operational. Structured according to the IOM Strategic Plan (2024-2028), the report is organized by the Plan’s three key priorities: saving lives, delivering solutions and facilitating regular migration pathways. Under each strategic priority, the DTM Insight report presents a series of data updates that include a concise overview of the context, along with succinct summaries of key findings drawn from the latest DTM publications. The updates also specify the relevant data collection period and include a link to the DTM publication, allowing readers to further explore the full analysis. By aligning the report with the IOM's strategic framework and highlighting salient insights from DTM's data and analysis, the DTM Insight aims to provide readers with a clear and comprehensive understanding of recent mobility dynamics.
