Bosnia and Herzegovina Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Bosnia and Herzegovina data from the Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD), maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). It provides validated annual estimates for new displacement incidents and the total number of people living in displacement at year-end, in line with the 1998 Guiding Principles. The dataset was last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in new displacement incidents based on the 'New Displacements' metric.
• Model the long-term stock of displaced populations based on the 'People Displaced' or 'Stock' figures.
• Assess the impact of conflict, violence, or disasters on internal displacement within Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct, standardized metrics: new displacement incidents and year-end stock figures.
• Released under the CC-BY-3.0-IGO license, allowing for reuse with attribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
