IDU: Daily Internal Displacement Flows in Gambia

Daily provisional data on new internal displacements in Gambia caused by conflicts and disasters, provided by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). The dataset offers initial assessments of displacement flows, is updated daily, and focuses on events reported since the beginning of 2025. Finalized and validated estimates are later published in the annual Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD).

Use Cases

• Track daily displacement trends based on provisional conflict and disaster event data.
• Model humanitarian needs based on real-time internal displacement flows.
• Analyze displacement triggers based on the conflict and disaster categorization.
• Compare provisional daily estimates with finalized annual data from the GIDD.

Strengths

• Updated daily for timely insights into new displacement events.
• Sourced from the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Covers displacement events reported since the beginning of 2025.
• Available under a CC-BY-3.0-IGO license for open use.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
