Comoros Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

The Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) provides annual estimates of internal displacement in Comoros, maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). It tracks two primary metrics: the year-end stock of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and the flow of new displacement incidents. The dataset was last updated on 2026-03-18 and is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO.

Use Cases

• Modeling displacement trends over time based on annual stock and flow data.
• Analyzing the impact of conflict or natural disasters on internal displacement in Comoros.
• Validating displacement figures for humanitarian reporting and resource allocation.

Strengths

• Data is validated and maintained by the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct, standardized metrics: stock of IDPs and flow of 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 is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update timestamp is from the future (2026-03-18).
