IDU: Daily Internal Displacement Flows in Bolivia from Conflict and Disaster

Internal Displacement Updates (IDU) data provides provisional daily estimates of new population movements (flows) within Bolivia caused by conflict and disasters. The dataset is produced by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) and is updated daily with information aggregated from various sources. Finalized and validated estimates are later published in the annual Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD).

Use Cases

• Monitor daily displacement trends based on the daily update frequency mentioned in the description
• Analyze displacement drivers based on the conflict and disaster event data described
• Compare provisional flow data with finalized stock data based on the relationship with the GIDD database described
• Assess humanitarian needs based on the population movement data

Strengths

• Data is updated daily, providing timely insights.
• Provisional information is sourced from the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), a recognized authority.
• Data is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO, allowing for open use.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic/temporal/source bias inherent to hdx.
