Mali Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Annual estimates of internal displacement in Mali, tracking both the stock of people living in displacement at year-end and the flow of new displacement incidents. The data is maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) and aligns with the 1998 Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement. It was last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Analyze long-term trends in internal displacement based on annual stock figures.
• Model the impact of conflict or disasters on displacement flows based on new displacement incidents.
• Assess humanitarian needs by tracking the number of people living in displacement at year-end.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Distinguishes between population stock and flow metrics, accounting for multiple displacements.
• Released under the CC-BY-3.0-IGO license for open use.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
