Eswatini Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

The Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) from the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre provides validated annual estimates of internal displacement. It tracks two primary metrics: the year-end stock of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and the flow of new displacement incidents. This dataset focuses on Eswatini and was last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Modeling displacement trends over time based on annual stock and flow figures.
• Analyzing the impact of conflict or disasters on internal displacement in Eswatini.
• Comparing validated displacement figures from Eswatini with other regional data.
• Forecasting humanitarian needs based on historical new displacement incidents.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct, standardized metrics: stock of IDPs and flow of new displacements.
• Uses the internationally recognized 1998 Guiding Principles definition of IDPs.

Limitations

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