Chad Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

The Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) provides validated annual estimates of internal displacement worldwide, maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre. It tracks two primary metrics: the total number of people living in displacement at year-end (IDP stock) and the count of new displacement incidents (new displacements). This dataset for Chad serves as a resource for understanding long-term trends in forced migration.

Use Cases

• Modeling trends in new displacement incidents based on annual flow data.
• Analyzing the year-end stock of internally displaced persons (IDPs) for resource planning.
• Correlating displacement figures with conflict or natural disaster events mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct metrics: population stock and new displacement flows.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, allowing for open use and redistribution.

Limitations

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