Angola Internal Displacements: New Displacement Incidents and IDP Stock

Internally Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) data tracks forced displacement within Angola. The Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) provides validated annual estimates for two primary metrics: the year-end stock of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and the count of new displacement incidents. This dataset, last updated in March 2026, is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO.

Use Cases

• Modeling annual trends in new displacement incidents based on the 'New Displacements' metric.
• Analyzing the long-term stock of displaced populations based on the 'People Displaced' year-end figures.
• Correlating displacement flows with conflict or natural disaster events mentioned in the description.

Strengths

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

Limitations

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