HIGHLIGHTS DISPLACEMENT TRACKING MATRIX : NEPAL EARTHQUAKE DTM ROUND : PUBLISHED NOVEMBER WHAT IS DTM? This Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) report is produced by the International Organization for Migration in its role as Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster Lead Agency. The DTM monitors the status and location of displaced populations in temporary displacement sites, gathering information about humanitarian needs and gaps of persons displaced by the earthquake. The data is collected primarily through key informant interviews, observations, small group discussions with both men, women and children. For more information on DTM in Nepal, please visit: www.tinyurl.com/nepaldtm in districts,, active sites hosting or more households assessed between October and November people from, households were living in sites hosting or more households new sites had become active after Round assessments and sites which were active in Round had been found closed in Round Number of persons living in sites with households or more by districts:,,,,,,,,,,,,, Dursa Gaang - DTM Round From mid-september through to November, the DTM team identified and visited potential displacement sites across the affected districts. Of these, were active and hosting households or more in camp-like settings while remaining were found closed or below DTM criteria ( or more households). These sites were hosting an estimated, households (, people). Of this population,, were female,, male and, were children under years old.

This could mean that a number of households had either return to repair or rebuild their homes, or gone in search of livelihood opportunities elsewhere. It was also noted that there had been a slight decrease in proportion of female individuals living in displacement sites - from % in Round to % in Round which was initially noted increased in Round as compared to Round (%).

DISPLACEMENT TRACKING MATRIX : NEPAL EARTHQUAKE DTM ROUND : PUBLISHED NOVEMBER DTM METHODOLOGY This Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) report is produced by the International Organization for Migration in its role as CCCM Cluster Lead Agency. Data was gathered by field staff and analysed by a team in. Prior to data collection, the DTM team contacts local authorities, humanitarian partners, and key informants to gather information about sites to be targeted for each round of the DTM. Criteria for conducting on-site assessments are as follow:. households or more the number of households living on site exceed.. Higher density tents/shelters in camp-like setting excluding villages that have scattered shelter within.. Cross-district displacement Groups of IDPs that have been displaced from another district, even if they do not comply to having households or more. IDPs living on site accessing basic services and infrastructure on site. Accessing toilets/latrines on site, or using a nearby toilet that is NOT their own. Possession of their belongings look for things like cooking pots and stoves. Clear indications that they are cooking on site (gas cylinders, communal cooking area). The data is collected primarily through key informant interviews, observations, small group discussions with both men, women and children. For every site, the team completes a standard assessment form (available on link below). The field teams approach each individual camp in a targeted manner, so the method of data collection can vary depending on the situation of the specific site.
