DTM’s Return Analysis Report aims to provide an insight into the potential return patterns of those displaced. The analysis for the report is developed through the data collected in July’s multi-sectoral Rapid Response Assessments (RRA). DTM has recently finished a new round RRA data collection covering the periods of 11-18th August. DTM’s Round II RRA and Round II Return Analysis Report are scheduled for publication (pending endorsement) for the first week of September 2018. Simultaneously DTMhas launched third Round of RRA data collection starting from the 27th of August until 7th September. In light of the dynamic mobile patterns being observed in the Gedeo and Guji, DTM has enhanced its RRA tools to include a greater number of indicators on return patterns with the aim of enriching future publications of the Return Analysis Report.
