About Chad

Since 2014, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has been working with the Government of Chad and other relevant partners to conduct displacement and flow monitoring across multiple provinces of Chad: Lac, Moyen-Chari, Logone Oriental, Borkou, Tibesti, Borkou and Ennedi Ouest.

The displacement dynamic analysis is rooted in the experiences of the 2011 response to the Libya crisis during which IOM supported more than 150,000 people arriving in northern Chad. Since then, numerous crises, including the Lake Chad Bassin crisis, the crisis in the Central African Republic and recurring displacement dynamics in Libya and Sudan have necessitated the development of a coherent approach to monitoring of migration flows to Chad. Most recently, the renewed interest in Chad as a transit and departure country for migrant flows towards Libya and potentially onwards to Europe, have inspired a new quality and coherence in IOM’s migration data management approach in Chad.

The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) is an information management system that tracks and monitors the displacement and population mobility. It is designed to regularly capture, process, and disseminate various layers of information to provide a better understanding of the evolving needs of mobile populations, on site or en route both of forced displacement and other migration flows. Adapted from the global methodology, relevant DTM components are being carried out in targeted locations to facilitate displacement management, the delivery of immediate humanitarian services and emergency response, informing transition and durable solutions and development-centred policy.

Since its launch, DTM has grown to a fully integrated component of the national and sub-national humanitarian information management architecture, informing the Government of Chad and international response both humanitarian and developmental across the majority of sectors/clusters and as part of the commitment of the international community and the Government of Chad to the New Way of Working (NWOW) as part of the humanitarian-development nexus.
