Job Summary

The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) is a globally recognized system that monitors displacement and population mobility by regularly collecting, processing, and sharing critical data. This information offers valuable insights into the movements and changing needs of displaced populations, whether they are at specific sites or in transit. DTM is currently being implemented in Pakistan to support humanitarian efforts in high-mobility areas such as Chagai, Usta Muhammad, Killa Abdullah, and Naseerabad. To strengthen data collection in these regions, DTM is seeking enumerators on a contractual basis. These enumerators will conduct face-to-face and telephonic interviews to gather essential data that informs humanitarian response strategies.
