Algeria Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Internally Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) data provides validated annual estimates of internal displacement in Algeria. The dataset tracks two primary metrics: the stock of people living in displacement at year-end and the flow of new displacement incidents. It is maintained by IDMC and last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Modeling displacement drivers based on conflict and disaster events mentioned in the description
• Analyzing long-term displacement trends based on validated annual stock figures
• Estimating humanitarian needs based on new displacement incident counts

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct metrics: population stock and new displacement flows.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, allowing for open use and adaptation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
