Malawi IOM Displacement Tracking Matrix: Subnational IDP Figures

Supplying aggregated figures for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Malawi, sourced from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) API. It contains non-sensitive displacement metrics at the national, Admin 1 (provinces), and Admin 2 (districts) levels. The data is maintained by IOM and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing IDP population trends across Malawi's Admin 1 and Admin 2 regions
• Integrating subnational displacement figures into humanitarian response dashboards
• Correlating conflict-violence events with regional displacement counts

Strengths

• Official IOM DTM source
• Standardized administrative levels (Admin 1 and Admin 2)
• Aggregated for immediate humanitarian response use

Limitations

• Lacks granular site-level or individual-level data
• Restricted to non-sensitive figures only
• Specific column headers and row counts are not defined in the metadata
