The DTM is A multi-instrument displacement tracking tool to provide a panorama on the general situation and specific characteristics of migratory flows, including people who are in transit, crossing the border, and staying in a given country. In Colombia, the DTM was applied from October 2016 to December 2016 in 3 municipalities to track returned men, women, and children of all socioeconomic levels, normal residents, and people crossing the Venezuelan border. 70% of people identified were Colombian, while 26% were Venezuelans and 4% had other nationalities. 52% indicated crossing the border for purchases, 17% to visit family, and 14% for work.
