Through NPM’s broad information management framework, service providers can access and make use of comprehensive data and analysis on the needs and vulnerabilities of affected populations, promoting more informed and nuanced humanitarian programming. NPM successfully partners and cooperates with the Inter-Sector Coordination Group (ISCG), various sectors, such as Shelter and Camp Coordination and Camp Management (SCCCM), and humanitarian partners, particularly through designing and conducting a wide range of assessments and providing ad-hoc data collection services, as well as technical information management and GIS with Drone support. In addition. Since 2018, REACH Initiative and NPM closely collaborating in the implementation of the Multi-Sectoral Needs assessments in Rohingya refugee camps and host communities. NPM has also provided field and contextual expertise to Ground Truth Solutions and Translators without Borders. These partnerships serve to strengthen NPM as a key information provider of the response.

Since 2018, IOM, with funding from the European Union, established the Displacement Tracking Matrix Regional Evidence for Migration Analysis and Policy (DTM REMAP) project, to strengthen the evidence-based formulation and implementation of humanitarian and development policy and programming on human mobility, migration, return and displacement in Bangladesh. Under DTM REMAP, IOM Bangladesh conducts various activities in a variety of districts in Bangladesh including: i) Baseline Mobility Assessments (BMA) to inform on numbers and locations of Bangladeshi internal and international migrants; ii) Survey on Drivers of Migration (SDM) to improve the understanding of the drivers of out-migration among Bangladeshi (potential) migrants; iii) Returnee Longitudinal Studies (RLS) to monitor the sustainability of return and needs and vulnerabilities of returnees; iv) Community Based Needs Assessments (CBNA) to inform on characteristics, needs and vulnerabilities of Bangladeshi migrants and their communities.
