This information is used to update the DTM database accordingly. In Average household size in IDP sites has decreased in 2012: 3.4 cases where the site cannot be visited for security concerns, IOM uses aerial imagery as individuals per household compared to 4.3 in 2010. This is also the basis for population estimates.

This report presents the results from field assessments that were conducted between November and December 20124. The release of the December 2012 figures was postponed to January 2013 in line with the third year commemoration of the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti in January 2010.

The DTM v2.0 gathers more concise information than the previous DTM v1.0, narrowing the focus and providing basic information on IDP sites and IDP populations for the benefit of humanitarian actors carrying out interventions in the earthquake affected areas across the country. This rapid camp-based assessment is implemented by a team of about 200 staff, of which 100 are field staff that carryout the data gathering activities. During a bi-monthly DTM cycle, assessments of all identified IDP sites are conducted within a six week period which includes all activities, such as: data collection, verification, data-processing and analysis. The DTM field teams use the DTM v2.0 - IDP Site/Camp Information form for each assessment. The teams use various methods, including key respondent interviews with camp managers and camp committees, and observation and physical counting in order to collect all data to complete the form. The field teams approach each individual IDP site in a targeted manner, meaning that the method of data collection can vary depending on the situation of that specific IDP site. After the data is gathered, consultation is carried out with actors that have a regular presence on the ground, namely, IOM Camp Management Operations (CMO) teams, representatives from the DPC, and other actors carrying out interventions in IDP sites. The IOM Data Management Unit’s call centre is also engaged to verify data directly with IDP Camp Committees or other relevant respondents. Google Earth, aerial imagery and other available technology are also used to assist in validating a variety of data, such as location and area. It is important to highlight that though estimates of the IDP individual population are provided through DTM, assessments are carried out at the household level with representatives reporting the number of individuals included in their household.
