Kenya - Internal Displacements Updates (IDU): Daily Conflict and Disaster Flows

Daily updated event data on new internal displacements in Kenya caused by conflicts and disasters, provided by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). The dataset contains provisional information on displacement flows, representing the most recent available data and is updated daily. Finalized and validated estimates are published separately in the annual Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD).

Use Cases

• Monitor daily displacement trends based on the daily update frequency mentioned in the description
• Analyze conflict-induced population movements based on the description of conflict as a cause
• Assess disaster impact on displacement based on the description of natural and human-made disasters as a cause
• Compare provisional and validated displacement figures based on the distinction between IDU and GIDD data

Strengths

• Updated daily, providing timely data
• Covers both conflict and disaster-induced displacement
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, allowing for open use

Limitations

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