Cambodia Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Cambodia-specific data from the Global Internal Displacement Database provides annual estimates of internal displacement. The dataset includes two primary metrics: the number of new displacement incidents and the year-end stock of internally displaced persons (IDPs). It is maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre and uses definitions aligned with the 1998 Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement.

Use Cases

• Modeling displacement drivers based on conflict and disaster events mentioned in the description
• Tracking long-term displacement trends based on annual stock and flow figures
• Assessing humanitarian needs based on validated displacement figures for Cambodia

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Distinguishes between population stock and new displacement flows, a key methodological feature.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, permitting open use 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.
