**Background Information**

IOM established the Global Data Institute to harness the power of its data for operations,
making meaning of global migration patterns, and providing foresight. The Global Data Institute
capitalizes on synergies between its two units-the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) and the
Global Migration Data Analysis Center (GMDAC)-and collaborates with a network of regional
data specialists to illuminate the global data story of human mobility.

The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has been IOM’s main operational tool for tracking and
monitoring the movements and evolving needs of displaced populations since 2004. It has been
systematically deployed in medium to large-scale humanitarian response operations in the last
four years, including in all Level 3 emergencies. As of 2023, DTM was active in 100 countries,
tracking and monitoring over 57 million internally displaced persons (IDPs).

Under the overall supervision of the Global DTM Coordinator and direct supervision of the Data
Science Support Officer, the DTM Visualization and Data Management Intern will be responsible
and accountable for providing support to the activities and services provided by DTM support
team in headquarters for DTM implementation in the field worldwide, to support development
and implementation of supplementary and interoperable systems for quality assurance and
further improvement of global DTM data and analysis.
