Burundi Displacement: IDP and Returnee Baseline Assessment at Admin2 Level

IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has monitored Burundian internally displaced persons (IDPs) since May 2015. The dataset includes IDP individuals and households at the admin2 level, as well as returnees from abroad who remain displaced within the country. It was last updated on 2026-07-04.

Use Cases

• Map displacement hotspots based on admin2-level IDP and household counts.
• Assess humanitarian needs for IDPs and returnees based on the DTM's registration methodology.
• Monitor displacement flows over time based on the DTM's ongoing monitoring since 2015.
• Analyze the situation of returnees who remain internally displaced based on their inclusion in the dataset.

Strengths

• Data is collected via IOM's established Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) methodology.
• Includes a specific population of returnees from abroad who are still displaced.
• Provides geographic granularity at the admin2 level for individuals and households.

Limitations

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