**Introduction**

Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations, and as the leading UN agency in the field of migration, works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.

**Context**

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 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.
