1. Who is the Danish Refugee Council?
Founded in 1956, the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is a leading international NGO and one of the few with a specific expertise in forced displacement. Active in 40 countries with 9,000 employees and supported by 7,500 volunteers, DRC protects, advocates, and builds sustainable futures for refugees and other displacement affected people and communities. DRC works during displacement at all stages: In the acute crisis, in displacement, when settling and integrating in a new place, or upon return. DRC provides protection and life-saving humanitarian assistance; supports displaced persons in becoming self-reliant and included into hosting societies; and works with civil society and responsible authorities to promote protection of rights and peaceful coexistence.

**About MMC’s work in Latin America and the Caribbean**

The Mixed Migration Centre (MMC) is part of, and governed by, DRC. MMC engages in data collection, research, analysis and policy development on mixed migration in Latin America and the Caribbean. Our primary objectives are to fill the knowledge gap on mixed migration in the region; to inform programming for refugees and migrants, particularly in the area of protection; and to inform policy-making around the rights and protection of people on the move. MMC’s flagship data collection project ‘4Mi’ currently operates in Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico and Peru, focusing on people leaving Venezuela, as well as refugees and migrants from across Latin America and the Caribbean, and extra continentals, who are heading towards North America. This consultancy is part of a research project conducted by the MMC on the use of social media by migrants and refugees in Latin America and the Caribbean.

2. Purpose of the consultancy
The Mixed Migration Centre based in Colombia seeks proposals from a Consultant or consultancy network **to design and conduct a mixed movements research through social media data collection and analysis.**

3. Background
Social media is one of the main sources of information for Venezuelan refugees and migrants, before and during their journey1. An important proportion of them seek information from friends, family, and other migrants through social networks. Few of them mention using information from official sources to inform or to make decisions about their migration2. Social media is also being used by refugees, asylum seekers and migrants to get in contact with smugglers networks, who promote and sell their services using these platforms3.
Furthermore, a huge quantity of data is shared on social networks by people on the move. Studies show that, in some cases, it could be faster to obtain figures on mixed movement dynamics through social media monitoring, than through the analysis of traditional sources, such as government statistics4. Social media could also be used by researchers to monitor anti-immigrants' sentiments and observe dynamics and tendencies of mixed movements across the region5.
In Latin America and the Caribbean, humanitarian actors are facing difficulties to reach their population of interest and access up-to-date data on mixed movements dynamics. Research using data shared on social media could thus be used to:
1) Help to reach the population of interest and develop awareness strategies on protection risks or knowledge dissemination.
2) Protect the population against false or misleading information, and human trafficking networks.
3) Monitor mixed movements dynamics (routes, destinations, risk exposure) and support early warning systems.
For all the above, clear ethical standards are also needed to protect users’ data and privacy, to highlight potential risks in the use and management of the information obtain, and in general ensure Do Not Harm interventions. They also need to develop methodological tools to do the analysis of the information, following robust scientific procedures and respecting those ethical standards.

4. Objective of the consultancy
This research project seeks to better understand how Venezuelans refugees and migrants use social media before and during the journey and how humanitarian actors could, while adhering to high ethical standards, use social media platforms and posts as data sources in mixed migration research.
This project aims to inform policies on mixed movements dynamics and aim to consolidate an ethical approach to use a rich data source for improving our understanding of mixed migration dynamics.

The Consultant will be required to:

- Provide humanitarian sector legal and ethical guidelines for mixed movements research through social media data collection and analysis.
- Study the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) of Venezuelan refugees and migrants in utilizing social media before and during their journey.
- Design a framework of analysis for mixed movements research through social media data collection and analysis.
