MTT aims to gauge the pulse of movements in and out of sites in Baidoa. MTT figures should not be considered official updates to the population figures of the sites. Rather, the data represents the intentions of IDPs and points towards general trends in their movements. In Baidoa, IOM enumerators are positioned at the 4 main checkpoints in and out of town (shown on the map on the right) from 6:30am until 5:30pm, 7 days a week. From these checkpoints, the teams identify people who are moving in or out of Baidoa with luggage. Interviews are done with MTT checkpoints around Baidoa the individual or the head of town household. MTT aims to complement existing information management products on displacements and movements in Baidoa, by providing site level specific data on population movements on a regular basis, to assist agencies operating in sites and settlements with key information on: demographics of movement, area of origin, area of return/onward movement, reasons for movement and movement trends over time.
