About Burundi

In response to the great need for information on internally displaced persons (IDPs), their humanitarian profile and needs, as identified by the humanitarian community and the Burundian authorities, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) implemented DTM since 2015 to effectively and systematically track and assess internal population flows in Burundi and therefore provide reliable information on the current situation of IDPs.

The Displacement Tracking Matrix monitors IDPs on a national level and to identify their humanitarian needs. The DTM’s main objective is to maintain a comprehensive system of data collection and sharing on IDPs. The project relies on the synergy between IOM's DTM and the Burundi Red Cross (BRC), who are jointly responsible for data collection on internally displaced persons. The collected data includes figures on displacement, as well as displacement centres, provenance locations, approximate duration of displacement and humanitarian needs of the displaced populations. The information collected at various levels contributes to the construction of an overall profile of the displaced population in targeted provinces, which can then be used by the government and the humanitarian partners in order to protect, assist and advocate for IDPs.

In November 2018, DTM Burundi also began to collect data on movement at unofficial points of transit on the Burundi - Tanzania border. The information collected at the flow monitoring points enable the government, humanitarian partners and policy stakeholders, to understand migration trends on the national and regional levels.
