    Description

    Abstract

    This multi-country harmonized dataset concerning forcibly displaced populations (FDPs) and their host communities was produced by the World Bank’s Poverty and Equity Global Practice. It incorporates representative surveys conducted in 10 countries across five regions that hosted FDPs in the period 2015 to 2020. The goal of this harmonization exercise is to provide researchers and policymakers with a valuable input for comparative analyses of forced displacement across key developing country settings.

    Geographic coverage

    The datasets included in the harmonization effort cover key recent displacement contexts: the Venezuelan influx in Latin America’s Andean states; the Syrian crisis in the Mashreq; the Rohingya displacement in Bangladesh; and forcible displacement in Sub-Saharan Africa (Sahel and East Africa). The harmonization exercise encompasses 10 different surveys. These include nationally representative surveys with a separate representative stratum for displaced populations; sub-national representative surveys covering displaced populations and their host communities; and surveys designed specifically to provide insights on displacement contexts. Most of the surveys were collected between 2015 and 2020.

    Description

    Internally displaced persons are defined according to the 1998 Guiding Principles (http://www.internal-displacement.org/publications/1998/ocha-guiding-principles-on-internal-displacement) as people or groups of people who have been forced or obliged to flee or to leave their homes or places of habitual residence, in particular as a result of armed conflict, or to avoid the effects of armed conflict, situations of generalized violence, violations of human rights, or natural or human-made disasters and who have not crossed an international border.

    "People Displaced" refers to the number of people living in displacement as of the end of each year.

    "New Displacement" refers to the number of new cases or incidents of displacement recorded, rather than the number of people displaced. This is done because people may have been displaced more than once.

    Contains data from IDMC's data portal.

    Description

    Conflict and disaster population movement (flows) data for South Africa.

    The IDU (Internal Displacement Updates) dataset, provided by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), offers timely event data and provisional information on new internal displacements caused by conflicts and disasters. Representing the most recent available information over a 180-day time period, the IDU is updated daily and focuses on "flows" (new displacements).

    Internally displaced persons (IDPs) are defined according to the 1998 Guiding Principles as people or groups of people who have been forced or obliged to flee or to leave their homes or places of habitual residence, in particular as a result of armed conflict, or to avoid the effects of armed conflict, situations of generalized violence, violations of human rights, or natural or human-made disasters and who have not crossed an international border. The IDMC's event data, sourced from the IDU, provides initial assessments of these internal displacements, reflecting continually updated provisional information from various sources.

    While the IDU offers early insights, the more thoroughly validated and curated "stock" (Total number of people leaving on internal displacement) and "flow" (population movements) estimates are available in the annual Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD). Both datasets are accessible via API, with specific guidance on data access, structure, and limitations, including important preprocessing considerations for the IDU to ensure accurate analysis and avoid double-counting. For further detailed information and complete API specifications, users are encouraged to consult the official documentation at https://www.internal-displacement.org/database/api-documentation/.

    The IDMC's Event data, sourced from the Internal Displacement Updates (IDU), offers initial assessments of internal displacements reported within the last 180 days. This dataset provides provisional information that is continually updated on a daily basis, reflecting the availability of data on new displacements arising from conflicts and disasters. The finalized, carefully curated, and validated estimates are then made accessible through the Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD). The IDU dataset comprises preliminary estimates aggregated from various publishers or sources.
