Fiji 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 (IDMC). It tracks two primary metrics: the stock of people living in displacement at year-end and the flow of new displacement incidents. This specific dataset focuses on Fiji, with data last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Modeling trends in forced migration based on annual stock and flow figures.
• Correlating new displacement incidents with reported conflict or disaster events in Fiji.
• Analyzing long-term displacement patterns using the validated, globally standardized GIDD methodology.

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 use with attribution.

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 Fiji.
