While assessing communities, enumerators also displaced, return and migrant populations, as well as refugees, observe the living conditions and availability of multi-sectoral nomads, cross-border tribal groups, and both domestic and services. In the rare case that DTM’s District Focal Points cannot international labour migrants. DTM captures additional mobility physically reach a community, due to insecurity, conflict, or risk of information, including reasons for displacement and return, retaliation, DFPs meet the focus groups at safe locations outside places of origin and destination, times of displacement and their communities or conduct the assessments by phone. return, secondary displacements, and population demographics, vulnerabilities and multi-sectoral needs. By actively recruiting more female enumerators, though challenging, DTM has made significant strides to improve DTM predominantly employs enumerators who originate from gender inclusion in focus group discussions, although there is the areas of assessment. Enumerators collect quantitative data much room for improvement. While women only represent 11% at the settlement level, through focus group discussions with key of the female key informants, this is significant compared to the informants (KIs). Through direct observations, enumerators also national average of 4%. collect qualitative data on living conditions, basic services, and security and socio-economic situation. 1,764 79 Due to security risks, enumerators cannot carry smart-phones key informants (KIs) key informants are IDPs or tablets in the field, therefore they collect data, daily, using interviewed or returnees (4%) a paper-based form, which is pre-filled with data from the 39 465 previous round for verification of existing data and to expedite female key informants KIs from host the assessment process. Completed forms are submitted weekly (2%) communities (26%) to the provincial DTM office and verified for accuracy by the team leader and data entry clerk. Once verified, the data is 1,725 363 entered electronically via mobile devices, using KoBo forms, and male key informants KIs from multi-sectoral submitted directly into DTM's central SQL server in Kabul, where (98%) and social services (21%) it is systematically cleaned and verified daily, through automated and manual systems. This stringent review process ensures that 5.5 808 average number of KIs KIs from local DTM data is of the highest quality, accuracy and integrity. per focus group authorities (46%) When DTM assesses a province for the first time, enumerators collect data through two rounds of two-layered assessments: Key Informants by Type | Kunduz 1.

Additional villages are also 4% identified and assessed, based on referrals from KIs.
