In Central America, North America and the Caribbean, the effects of natural disasters, climate change, violence, and insecurity drive internal displacement as people move to seek safety within their own countries. However, the lack of information on internal displacement in some areas of the region limits visibility on the magnitude of this phenomenon and the ability to address its effects. There is a substantial need for official IDP statistics and operational data in the region, including the necessary infrastructure to collect and maintain such data.

DTM activities focused on identifying and tracking internal displacement in Central America, North America and the Caribbean are currently being conducted in Haiti and Honduras. Both countries face a complex internal displacement context shaped by violence and natural disasters. The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the information available on internal displacement in Haiti and Honduras obtained through data collection activities conducted between August 2022 and October 2023. It will also highlight capacity building efforts to strengthen existing data collection systems and to expand data collection on IDPs into other countries of the region.
