Mayotte Internal Displacement Data: Annual Stock and New Displacements

The Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) from the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) provides annual estimates of internal displacement. It tracks two primary metrics: the year-end stock of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and the count of new displacement incidents. The dataset is validated and maintained according to the 1998 Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement.

Use Cases

• Modeling long-term displacement trends based on validated annual stock figures.
• Analyzing the immediate impact of conflict or disasters based on new displacement incidents.
• Comparing displacement dynamics across different causes (conflict, violence, disasters) using the standardized metrics.

Strengths

• Data is validated and maintained by the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct, standardized metrics: population stock and new displacement incidents.
• Definitions align with the international 1998 Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
