Cameroon IOM Displacement Tracking Matrix: IDP Figures by Admin 2 Level

Aggregated Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) figures for Cameroon provided by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) via the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) API. The data covers subnational administrative levels including states and provinces as of March 2026. It serves as a standardized resource for humanitarian organizations and researchers tracking forced displacement.

Use Cases

• Mapping IDP distribution across Cameroon using Admin 2 subnational boundaries
• Monitoring displacement trends over time at the provincial level
• Informing humanitarian resource allocation based on aggregated population figures

Strengths

• Official IOM DTM source
• Standardized Admin 1 and Admin 2 geographic identifiers
• Directly sourced from the DTM API for humanitarian consistency

Limitations

• Aggregated nature prevents micro-level analysis
• Excludes sensitive protection data
• Specific column headers and row counts are not detailed in the source metadata
