DRC – Activities Carried Out by DTM in 2023

The DRC is facing one of the largest, most complex and longest-running humanitarian crises in the world. Marked by massive displacement, critical needs for basic services and human rights violations, this crisis is the result of persistent armed and inter-ethnic conflicts, epidemics and natural disasters. The constant threat of violence and the deteriorating security situation are exacerbating the humanitarian situation in an increasingly critical way, generating several million internally displaced people. In the eastern provinces in particular, the resurgence of armed conflict and inter-communal violence is hampering access to and the delivery of humanitarian services, while needs remain extremely high.

In order to respond in a timely manner to urgent humanitarian needs and provide targeted assistance adapted to the context, humanitarian actors require information on recent population movements, their locations and the profile of the population. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has set up the DTM, designed to capture, process and disseminate this information regularly and systematically. The aim is to give decisionmakers a better understanding of migration trends and the changing needs of displaced populations, and to facilitate decision-making. This report summarizes the key activities undertaken by DTM DRC alongside the team's principal achievements of 2023.
