WASH Emergency Response for Refugees from the Central African Republic (CAR), Returnees and Hosting Communities in Um Dafoug, South Darfur Lack of available resources in Um Dafoug, Sudan, undermines the ability for refugees from the Central African Republic (CAR), Sudanese returnees and host communities to equitably access basic services and increases the risks of inter-communal tensions. To mitigate the resource strain and ensure equitable access to basic services for affected communities, it is critical that support is provided to refugees, returnees and hosting communities to increase their capacity to absorb new influxes and decrease the risk of tensions over the already limited resources. In this project, the IOM will address the most critical gaps in water supply, sanitation and hygiene in Um Dafoug town and at the new refugee site through the provision of emergency water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) assistance to refugees, hosting communities and returnees, ensuring that affected populations in Um Dafoug will have improved and equitable access to WASH services.
Strengthening Assistance to Returnees, IDPs and Mobile Populations in Afghanistan Through the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) The overall goal of this project is to contribute to the social cohesion and stabilisation of Afghan communities affected by displacement, return and chronic poverty. The project will use an evidence-based approach, through Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), to identify locations with high concentrations of returnee, internally displaced and migrant populations.

The DTM information will enable IOM and its partners to understand the mobility patterns and needs of IDPs, returnees, migrants and host communities, strengthening their ability to deliver mobility-sensitive, better-targeted, sustainable humanitarian assistance, reintegration, and community stabilisation programming.

Global migration data portal (phase III) One of the most apparent shortfalls in the current migration data space until recently was the absence of a comprehensive, one-stop-shop for migration information and data, both in the form of timely textual analysis, including the strengths and weaknesses of the data sources, and, in particular, for data access and analysis purposes. Many public policy communities, over the years, have suffered from a diffuse and confusing approach to information. At the same time some areas account for very advanced information. Economic development data is available, for example, on dozens of websites, as is information on public health issues. Since the launch of the Global Migration Data Portal, from herein after referred to as the Portal, in December 2017, the Portal has pursued a long-term strategy to become the primary point of departure for all stakeholders interested in migration data and to become an exchange platform for the international community of migration experts and agencies developed by IOM's Global Migration Data Analysis Centre, in partnership with key international experts and UN agencies, the portal strives to meet three goals: it must be useful, comprehensive andtimely. In this context, 'useful' means that the content is valuable to users, and that they will want to come back frequently for updates. 'Comprehensive' means that the Portal covers the widest range of countries and migration topics possible. This means that the Portal is not limited, as are other migration data-related websites, to a certain region or topic. Timely' means that the Portal uploads new migration data indicators as they are released, publishes blogs that cover emerging topics and videos with migration experts to explain ongoing migration topics in Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America. In order to become a global reference point on migration data, the Portal must be expanded.
