IDU: Daily Internal Displacement Flows for Mauritius

Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) provides daily provisional data on new internal displacements in Mauritius caused by conflicts and disasters. The IDU dataset offers initial assessments of displacement flows, updated daily with information aggregated from various sources. Finalized and validated estimates are published separately in the annual Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD).

Use Cases

• Monitor daily displacement trends based on provisional conflict and disaster event data.
• Analyze displacement flows for early warning and humanitarian response planning.
• Cross-reference provisional IDU data with validated annual GIDD stock and flow estimates.

Strengths

• Updated daily, providing timely event data.
• Sourced from the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Covers displacements from both conflict and disaster events.

Limitations

• Data is provisional and requires careful preprocessing to avoid double-counting.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
