Enhancing regional convergence of data collection, analysis and dissemination through the displacement tracking matrix (DTM) The proposed project aims to enhance regional convergence of data collection, analysis and dissemination through the implementation of three interconnected pillars of activities: I) to undertake in-depth studies on factors shaping different groups of migrants’ decisions to leave their country and chose a route and destination, with a particular focus on forced mobility (year 1) and II) to coordinate and strengthen cross-country and cross-regional data collection and data analysis which links information about mobility patterns with findings regarding the underlying factors that shape migration decisions, seeking to link debates on forced, irregular and regular migration, as well as making the connection between internal and cross-border mobility dynamics, with a strong gender component (year 1-3), and III) to strengthen IOM’s cooperation with OCHA-Hoxton further enhance data interoperability and information sharing mechanisms (year 1-3). This stands to contribute to a fuller and more comprehensive understanding of human mobility patterns that can inform operational actors as well as policy makers and academia on required actions to address and mitigate root causes and to enhance avenues for migration that mutually benefits migrants and society.
