DTM 4 Sudan DTM Sudan July - September 2019 Methodology Map 2 South Sudanese registered in Abyei, July to September2019 The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) is a system to track and monitor displacement and population mobility. It is designed to regularly and systematically capture, process and disseminate information to provide a better understanding of the movements and evolving needs of displaced populations, whether on site or en route. It is comprised of four distinct components; namely, mobility tracking, registration, flow monitoring and surveying. Registration data is used by site managers for beneficiary selection, vulnerability targeting and programming. During the months of July to September 2019, the DTM conducted registration activities within six states in Sudan – recording individual and household level information on IDPs, returnees and flood affected populations in North Darfur, East Darfur, South Darfur, West Darfur, Central Darfur and South Kordofan. As part of a global methodology, flow monitoring is used to track movements of displaced populations at key transit points when locations of origin are not accessible, and displacement is gradual. In Sudan, DTM operated one flow monitoring points during this period in Abyei – tracking the arrival of South Sudanese into the country. The DTM methodology refers to the following definitions: Internally Displaced Persons are considered all Sudanese persons who have been forced or obliged to flee from their habitual residence since 2003 and subsequently sought safety in a different location. Returnees are considered all Sudanese persons who were previously displaced from their habitual residence since 2003 and have now voluntarily returned to the location of their habitual residence – irrespective of whether they have returned to their former residence or to another shelter type.
