Guinea Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Annual estimates of internal displacement in Guinea, maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). The data tracks two primary metrics: the stock of people living in displacement at year-end 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 drivers based on conflict and disaster triggers mentioned in the description.
• Tracking long-term displacement trends based on the annual stock figures.
• Analyzing displacement volatility based on the flow of new incidents, which accounts for multiple displacements per person.

Strengths

• Data is validated and maintained by the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Distinguishes between population stock and flow metrics, a key methodological feature.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, facilitating open use and redistribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
