Côte d'Ivoire Internal Displacement Data: New Incidents and Year-End Totals

Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) data for Côte d'Ivoire provides validated annual estimates of internal displacement. The dataset tracks two primary metrics: the year-end stock of people living in displacement and the flow of new displacement incidents, which accounts for multiple displacements of the same person. It is maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling long-term displacement trends based on validated annual estimates.
• Analyzing the impact of conflict and natural disasters on population flows using new displacement incident data.
• Comparing year-end internally displaced person (IDP) stock figures across different regions or time periods.

Strengths

• Data is validated and maintained by the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct, defined metrics: year-end population stock and new displacement incidents.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, permitting open sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic or temporal bias inherent to the source platform.
