Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM)

The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) is a tool used by organizations to monitor the movement and location of people affected by crises, such as conflicts or natural disasters. It collects data through surveys, reports, and field assessments to map where displaced populations are living, how they are moving, and their needs. This information helps authorities and aid agencies plan effective responses, allocate resources, and provide support tailored to those displaced. In essence, DTM offers a real-time overview of displacement patterns, ensuring that assistance reaches the right people, at the right time.
