About ISMI & This Factsheet An initiative of The IDP Situation Monitoring Initiative (ISMI) is an initiative of the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster, implemented by REACH and supported by Syria Relief Network (SRN) and other cluster members. Feedback: CCCM Cluster Following a baseline assessment conducted between 23 October and 21 November 2016, weekly/bi-weekly data Northern Syria collection cycles have been initiated to provide regular updates on IDP movements. Based on 1,183 communities in the Email: syria.cross.border.info@ governorates of Aleppo, Ar-Raqqa, Deir-ez-Zor, Hama, Homs and Idleb during the baseline, this factsheet presents a cccmcluster.org, Info: http://www.globalcccmcluster.org, summary of reported inward and outward movements of IDPs in the month of September 2017. From 31 August to 15 https://www.humanitarianresponse.info September 2017, such displacements were reported in 302 communities out of all ISMI-covered communities. Implemented by Displacement was identified through an extensive key informant (KI) network, either through alerts initiated by KIs or follow-up by enumerators. A range of 2-3 KIs were interviewed in each community, while collected information was further triangulated through other sources, including CCCM member data and humanitarian updates. This approach allows for regular updates on IDP movements at a community level across ISMI coverage areas. However, movement updates are limited to areas covered by ISMI and there are, therefore, displacements that are not reported here. 4
