Eritrea Internal Displacement Data: Annual Stock and New Displacement Figures

The Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) provides validated annual estimates of internal displacement, maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). It tracks two primary metrics: the total number of people living in displacement at year-end and the count of new displacement incidents recorded annually. The dataset for Eritrea was last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Modeling long-term displacement trends based on annual stock figures.
• Analyzing the frequency of displacement incidents based on new displacement flow data.
• Correlating displacement figures with conflict or disaster events in Eritrea.
• Benchmarking Eritrea's displacement situation against global patterns.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), a leading authority.
• Adheres to the 1998 Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement for definitional consistency.
• Distinguishes between population stock (year-end totals) and flow (new incidents) metrics.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description does not specify the exact temporal coverage for Eritrea.
