Angola Internal Displacement Updates: Daily Conflict and Disaster Flows

IDMC's Internal Displacement Updates (IDU) dataset provides provisional daily data on new internal displacements in Angola caused by conflicts and disasters. The dataset focuses on displacement flows and is updated daily with initial assessments from various sources. Finalized and validated estimates are available in the separate annual Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD).

Use Cases

• Track daily displacement trends based on provisional conflict and disaster event data.
• Model displacement triggers based on reported causes of forced movement.
• Compare provisional daily flow estimates with annual validated stock data from the GIDD.

Strengths

• Updated daily, providing near real-time insights.
• Focuses on displacement flows, capturing new movements.
• Sourced from the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), a recognized authority.

Limitations

• Data is provisional and requires preprocessing to avoid double-counting.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
