The most recent Emergency Trends Tracking campaign began in February 2025 to observe population displacement during the Jilaal dry season. From February 2025 onwards, DTM teams have gathered information in 25 districts: Afgooye, Afmadow, Baardheere, Baidoa, Balcad, Belet Weyne, Belet Xaawo, Bu’Aale, Bulo Burto, Cabudwaaq, Dayniile, Dhuusamarreeb, Diinsoor, Doolow, Gaalkacyo, Garoowe, Hodan, Jamaame, Jowhar, Kahda, Kismaayo, Luuq, Qansax Dheere, Waajid and Xudur. It should be noted that since week 26, assessments have been limited to 5 districts due to funding constraints: Baidoa, Dayniile, Diinsoor, Doolow, and Kahda.

ETT serves as a crisis monitoring system that records abrupt population movements caused by specific incidents or developing emergencies. The purpose of ETT is to assist in prioritizing humanitarian responses and enabling aid partners to provide swift support. According to historical displacement patterns triggered by shocks, the humanitarian sector anticipates continued migration to urban areas seeking humanitarian aid. As a result, ETT monitoring concentrates on principal urban hubs and neighboring villages within each evaluated district. Information is gathered via Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) at the local level from Saturday to Wednesday each week. The data encompasses new arrivals, quantity and demographics of internally displaced persons (IDPs), displacement causes, future plans, humanitarian aid received, and primary requirements, among other elements. To support combined analysis between the CCCM (Camp Coordination and Camp Management) Cluster’s New Arrivals Tracker (NAT) and ETT information, the assistance and need metrics are standardized across both systems.
