Madagascar IOM Displacement Tracking: Aggregated IDP Figures by Admin 2

A source of aggregated figures for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Madagascar, sourced from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) API. It contains non-sensitive displacement statistics organized by national and subnational administrative levels (Admin 1 and Admin 2). The data was last updated in March 2026 to support humanitarian and academic research.

Use Cases

• Mapping IDP concentrations across Madagascar using Admin 1 and Admin 2 geographic identifiers
• Analyzing temporal trends in displacement figures at the provincial level
• Allocating humanitarian resources based on aggregated IDP counts per district

Strengths

• Official data from the International Organization for Migration (IOM)
• Provides subnational granularity at Admin 1 and Admin 2 levels
• Standardized humanitarian reporting format for interoperability

Limitations

• Aggregated nature prevents micro-level analysis of individual displacement drivers
• Excludes sensitive site-specific location data
• Specific column headers and row counts are not detailed in the API summary
