Displacement tracking - rename

People Targeted: Indirect beneficiaries 3,420,643 IDPs, returnees from internal displacement, seasonal returnees, returnees from abroad and foreign nationals that will receive services based on the information provided.

Entities Targeted: 150 government counterparts, UN agencies, INGOs/NGOs, for more credible, comprehensive, and evidence-based situational analysis.

IOM will use the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) to regularly capture, process, and provide humanitarian actors with multi-layered information products, including sex and age disaggregated data, and the locations, composition, vulnerabilities such as disability and needs of displaced and mobile populations in order to deliver more targeted humanitarian assistance and response, as well as produce an evidence base for programme design, strategy, and operational planning across the country. The following methodologies will be used in Sudan in 2021 to provide this critical information management service:

  • Mobility Tracking (MT): Utilise key informant networks to systematically track mobility in locations of interest over consistent data collection rounds. Enumerators revisit each location and interview key informants to update and verify population presence on a quarterly basis.
  • Early Warning Flash Alerts and Emergency Event Tracking (EET): Deploy to track sudden displacements and population movements, provide more frequent updates on the scale of displacement that occurs between MT rounds, and quantify affected populations when needed. Early Warning Flash Alerts are disseminated within the first 24-48 hours of incidents to notify partners on sudden events where EET activities will subsequently take place. EET is activated within 72 hours of an incident induced by conflict or natural disaster to assist in rapid response planning.
  • Situation Assessments: Supplement EET, Situation Assessments collect data on populations in non-emergency settings or protracted situations caused by conflict or natural disaster, utilising a broad network of key informants to provide an overview of the context and inform response planning.
  • Multi-Sectoral Location Assessments (MSLA): Enhance and provide accurate and up to date information on the availability of services at major sites of displacement. Key indicators recorded will include population presence, shelter, food security, education, health, WASH, and protection, amongst other services.
  • Registration Activities: Provide rapid emergency and biometric registrations and data verifications with a priority of meeting immediate information needs for guiding direct assistance to vulnerable people – implemented in response to government or humanitarian partner requests. Registration data is used for beneficiary selection, vulnerability targeting and programming.
  • Flow Monitoring Registry (FMR): Capture movements of populations at key transit points and borders to quantify and provide regular updates on internal and cross-border flows.
  • COVID-19 Data Collection: If needed, re-activate DTM data collection on mobility restrictions at airports, border crossing points, land border crossing points, as well as internal transit point restrictions; as well as data collection from IDP camps including impediments to camp access, the impact of COVID-19 on IDPs and IDPs affected by mobility restrictions.  DTM will also collect information on additional indicators reflecting the socioeconomic impact of the pandemic on mobile populations.

Entities Targeted: 25 INGOs/NNGOs.

To build the capacity of partners to provide life-saving humanitarian assistance, IOM will:

  • Manage a flexible, efficient and needs-based fund disbursement mechanism - “Rapid Response Fund (RRF)” - to further support humanitarian actors, mainly international and national non-governmental organizations (NGO), who are providing assistance to people affected by natural and/or human-made disasters in Sudan in an effective and timely manner. Provide training on proposal writing grants for NGOs under the following sectors of emergency response: non-food items (NFI), water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services, shelter and settlements, protection, health, and humanitarian coordination assistance.  Provide training on proposal development, reporting, and humanitarian principles such as protection from sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA) and accountability to affected populations (AAP) to ensure that funds are used effectively for NGOs.
  • Fill identified gaps in the emergency logistics and transportation capacity of humanitarian partners in close coordination with the Logistics and Emergency Transportation (LET) sector lead, WFP, OCHA and other UN agencies at the field level by providing logistics services and transporting relief items to support the humanitarian community's response to emergency needs of vulnerable populations affected by natural disasters and/or by conflict, particularly those living in rural areas with limited access to services.
  • Support capacity building of government counterparts on logistics-related training.
