People Targeted: Indirectly reaching over 3,086,553 IDPs, 942,299 permanent returnees from internal displacement, 38,485 seasonal returnees, 92,644 returnees from abroad and 388,634 foreign nationals that will receive support based on the information provided on their needs, vulnerabilities, and gaps in services.

Entities Targeted: Directly reaching at least 20 partners and 496 active subscribers from Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) information product mailing list comprised of government counterparts, UN agencies, INGOs/NGOs, for more credible, comprehensive, and evidence-based situational analysis.

IOM will use 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 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 2022 to provide this critical information management service:

• Mobility Tracking (MT): utilizing 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): deploying and tracking sudden displacements and population movements, providing more frequent updates on the scale of displacement that occurs between MT rounds, and quantify affected populations when needed. Early warning flash alerts will be disseminated within the first 24-48 hours of incidents to notify partners of sudden events where EET activities will subsequently take place. EET is activated within 72-96 hours of an incident induced by conflict or natural disaster to assist in rapid response planning.
• Situation Assessments: supplementing EET, collecting data on populations in non-emergency settings or protracted situations caused by conflict or natural disaster, utilizing a broad network of key informants to provide an overview of the context and inform response planning.
• Multi Sectoral Needs Assessment (MSNA): providing an overview of the sectoral needs of affected populations in localities hosting displaced populations to inform the Humanitarian Needs Overview, as well as the Humanitarian Response Plan, and partners by identifying the needs and underrepresentation of vulnerable populations across Sudan and information gaps is services. MSNA is critical for improving the coordination and collaboration between humanitarian partners to ensure more effective and targeted humanitarian response planning.
• Integrated Local Assessment (ILA): providing a simultaneous and rigorous in-depth insight of displaced and returning populations in Sudan, putting a special focus on profiling the locations in which these groups live. This includes the demographic composition of locations, state of infrastructure, services, security, social cohesion, and movement intentions for IDPs and returnees to inform response planning.
• Registration Activities: providing 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): capturing 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-activating DTM data collection on mobility restrictions at airports, border crossing points, land border crossing points, internal transit point restrictions; as well as data collection from IDP camps including impediments to camp access, impact of COVID-19 and subsequent mobility restrictions on IDPs. DTM will also collect information on additional indicators reflecting the socioeconomic impact of the pandemic on mobile populations.
