About Guatemala
The DTM was activated in Guatemala as a response to the Fire Volcano eruption in 2018. Displacement sites were monitored for living conditions, and multisectoral needs in June and July of 2018 as part of a rapid response under CERF. In January of 2019, follow-up surveys were carried out in order to monitor the access to livelihoods and the participation of the displaced population. These DTM rounds were conducted in coordination with the Secretary of the President’s Spouse (SOSEP). In addition, IOM also undertakes information management activities as part of the NTMI, which produced a nationwide perception survey on migration, transit and internal displacement in 2016. Finally, human mobility tracking activities are complemented by the continuous monitoring of migrant returns into the country, information which is available on the following website: https://mic.iom.int/webntmi/
