About Djibouti
In Djibouti, DTM was activated in May 2017, in response to important migration movements mainly from Ethiopia heading to Yemen and Saudi Arabia through the Horn of Africa. DTM is operational in Djibouti to gather, analyse and disseminate critical, multi-layered information on the mobility, vulnerabilities and needs of migrants on the move that enables decision-makers and responding partners to provide targeted, context-specific assistance.
In order to facilitate humanitarian interventions, DTM works closely with IOM’s other programmes through referring identified populations in need of assistance at flow monitoring points to IOM’s Direct Assistance, Health, Voluntary Humanitarian Return (VHR), Protection and Migrant Rapid Response Mechanism (MRRM) programmes. Furthermore, DTM Djibouti supports Governmental partners such as the National Office of Assistance to the Refugees and the Disaster victims (ONARS), the Djibouti National Institute of Statistics (INSD), and other partners including but not limited to UNICEF, UNHCR, WFP, UNOPS, ICRC, DRC through providing better understanding of migration patterns through Djibouti for better response planning.
