Key takeaway In South Sudan, DTM plays a key role in biometric registration by collecting essential household and individual-level information to inform assistance at the local level.
Why this matters
The biometric registration and cash assistance efforts in Bentiu IDP camp demonstrate the critical role of data collection in humanitarian response. By verifying the identities of over 110,000 individuals, DTM has helped ensure that aid reaches those who need it most, while also reducing the risk of duplication or fraud. The registration process, which includes the collection of household and individual-level information, enables partner organizations to target assistance to vulnerable groups, such as newborns and households with specific protection needs. This targeted approach is essential in South Sudan, where resources are limited and the needs of affected populations are complex and varied. As humanitarian organizations continue to respond to the crisis in South Sudan, the accuracy and reliability of beneficiary data will be crucial in informing assistance at the local level and ensuring that aid is delivered efficiently and effectively.
