DTM Field Companion for Protection
Global Protection Cluster (GPC) and DTM identified common Information needs that the Protection cluster colleagues in countries may have and developed suggested questions and options for reply for each information need, that are appropriate to the DTM MSLA methodology.
These are accompanied by descriptive analysis, and possible use of data and available in the DTM Field Companion for Protection, in: https://displacement.iom.int/dtm-partners-toolkit/field-companion-sectoral-questions-location-assessment

Using DTM MSLA data for Protection
In addition to the DTM Field Companion, DTM and GPC have been closely collaborating at a global level and developed the "Frequently Asked Questions on DTM for the Global Protection Cluster, including the Child Protection, GBV, Mine Action, HLP AoRs and other members of the cluster", available in: https://displacement.iom.int/dtm-partners-toolkit/protection, to support field colleagues on:
-
Explaining what DTM MSLA is and can and cannot do to support the work of protection colleagues
