As part of the training enumerators were also trained on rapid response assessment tools and methodologies. DTM will deploy rapid assessments in incidences of large sudden displacement to assess the impact on local populations and identify immediate needs. Data collected will include the numbers and locations of those displaced, the identification of most vulnerable populations, the immediate needs of those displaced, and the shelter settings in which they are staying.
“It was great to know the mechanism of the work in a practical way before operating in the field as meeting all the team members will support the process of collecting the data and the information on the local and regional level,” said one of the enumerators 26-year-old Ibrahim Agila from Tripoli.
DTM’s operations are made possible by the support of the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and the European Commission’s Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection department (ECHO).
Libya’s Displacement Tracking Matrix collects data on mobile populations in Libya to support evidence-based humanitarian responses. All reports, methodologies and datasets are available at www.globaldtm.info/libya
