PROJECT AND SCOPE OF WORK

Established in 1951, IOM is the leading inter-governmental organization in the field of migration and 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.
The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Regional Evidence for Migration Analysis and Policy (REMAP) project was developed in response to the critical need to collect and analyze information on (protracted) displacement and human mobility in, to and from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan and to contribute to evidence-based humanitarian and development programming in these countries and in the region.
With the growing recognition of the complex, non-linear interplay between climate change and human mobility, IOM aims to initiate a DTM survey focused on understanding the linkages between environmental degradation/climate change and human mobility in Pakistan. This survey seeks to investigate both internal mobility within Pakistan's borders and international migration patterns of Pakistani and non-Pakistani nationals.
The primary objective of this consultancy is to design a robust methodology, including a detailed sampling plan, household survey instrument, and an overall implementation plan for the DTM environmental/climate change and human mobility survey. The consultant will play a pivotal role in shaping the framework that will guide the collection, analysis, sampling, and interpretation of data on how climate change impacts human mobility in Pakistan.

    • Design a conceptual model that visually represents the various factors, drivers, and interactions between climate change, environmental stressors, and different forms of human mobility (internal and international).
  2. Household Survey Instrument:
    • Design a comprehensive, longitudinal household survey instrument that captures socio-demographic information, climate-related vulnerabilities, migration histories, decision-making processes related to mobility, and perceptions of climate change impacts.
    • Collaborate with local experts and stakeholders to ensure the survey instrument is culturally sensitive and contextually appropriate for Pakistan.
    • Incorporate survey questions to collect quantitative data (e.g., statistical indicators) from surveyed households that explain longer-term mobility decision-making.

I. BACKGROUND

 

Humanitarian response should be based on relevant, reliable data, as well as a shared understanding of context and needs. However, even when data and analysis are produced with the aim of informing a response, they are not always fully utilized or some necessary data may be missing. This depends on several factors, including insufficient and unstructured engagement of data users and other actors during the data collection planning, analysis and dissemination phases. This often results in resources being invested in collecting data that does not fully correspond to the information needed by decision makers.
The DTM & Partners Toolkit contains practical tools and guidance to a common approach that supports DTM and partners obtain useful and usable data and analysis in their humanitarian response.
It is the implementation of the joint outcomes of the EDAUUR WG. The Working Group on Useful and Usable Data and Analysis (EDAUUR) under the Grand Bargain work stream on Needs Assessments developed tools and guidance to address these challenges. The EDAUUR WG was composed of:

  • Global Clusters and AoRs (including the Global CCCM Cluster, the Global Child Protection AoR, the Global Education Cluster, the Global Food Security Cluster, the Global GBV AoR, the Global Health Cluster, the Global Protection Cluster, the Global Shelter Cluster, the Global UNICEF Cluster Coordination Team and the Global WASH Cluster)
  • UN Offices and Agencies (including UNHCR FICS, IOM DTM, WFP VAM, OCHA FIS and OCHA NAAS)
  • Donors (including DIFD, ECHO and OFDA)
  • NGOs (including DRC, Geneva Centre for Humanitarian Demining, MapAction, REACH – Impact and Terre Des Hommes Lausanne) and
  • Other organizations and initiatives (including ACAPS, JIPS, PIM, IDMC and ICRC)

The approach proposed by EDAUUR WG aims at structuring engagement between data producers and data users before, during and after the data collection, analysis and dissemination processes. This approach will help humanitarian responders obtain information they can use through effective, predictable and clear engagement of all necessary actors according to their roles and skillsets. Data and analysis obtained through a predictable process with clear roles and responsibilities will provide responders with the right information to make decisions and better meet the needs of affected populations.

DTM & Partners Toolkit and the EDAUUR Approach


DTM and Partners began implementing and operationalizing the results from EDAUUR’s work by jointly developing a toolkit that applies the approach developed by the working group to the work of DTM teams and Partners in the field to support cooperation.
DTM worked with the many Partners, including: Global CCCM Cluster, Global Child Protection AoR, Global Education Cluster, Global GBV AoR, Global Health Cluster, Global Protection Cluster, Global Shelter Cluster, Global UNICEF Cluster Coordination Team, Global WASH Cluster, Geneva-based Cash Working Group, Global AAP and PSEA experts from IOM, the IASC Task Force and Translators Without Borders. Partners are those who participate in the humanitarian response, and include Clusters, Sectors, WGs, NGOs, International Organizations, Authorities, UN agencies, IOM Programmes and more.
A Common Objective: The common objective of DTM and Partners is to ensure that DTM collects data that Partners can use. After common challenges faced by field colleagues were identified, DTM and Partners worked jointly to find ways to overcome said challenges. The resulting approach and tools are now in the jointly developed and publicly available DTM & Partners Toolkit (https://displacement.iom.int/dtm-toolkit/dtm-partners-toolkit).
In line with the results of the EDAUUR work, a predictable approach was defined to be consistently rolled out in all responses. The approach is based on the common assessment process, which was identified by EDAUUR Partners as commonly recognized as effective, as well as agreed upon by most actors.


Tools:
The DTM & Partners Toolkit contains tools that facilitate implementation in the field: presentations on DTM; methodology documents; FAQs; lists of DTM datasets used for strategic, programmatic and operational decision-making; guides on the effective use of DTM data for specific sectors; and the DTM Field Companion. The Field Companion is an analysis plan for DTM Multi Sectoral Location Assessment information needs and proposed question phrasing in English, that were agreed upon by DTM and Global Clusters, AoRs and WGs; it links information needs to appropriate questions, analysis and use of results.
Approach and main tools are included in the DTM & Partners Cooperation Pocket Guide available at: https://displacement.iom.int/dtm-partners-toolkit/predictable-approach. An exemplification illustrated in comics is also available at the same link.
Based on feedback from DTM and Partners during the last two years, a report was produced, and a new version of the Toolkit will be developed starting from October 2022. This position supports the improvements to the toolkit.
