Mongolia Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Mongolia-specific data from the Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD), maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). The dataset provides validated annual estimates for new displacement incidents and the stock of internally displaced persons (IDPs) at year-end, following the 1998 Guiding Principles definition. It was last updated on March 18, 2026.

Use Cases

• Tracking annual trends in new displacement incidents based on the 'New Displacements' metric.
• Analyzing the long-term burden of displacement based on the year-end 'IDP Stock' figures.
• Modeling displacement drivers by correlating displacement figures with conflict or disaster events mentioned in the description.
• Assessing humanitarian needs by monitoring the population living in displacement over time.

Strengths

• Data is validated and maintained by the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Distinguishes between new displacement incidents and the total population stock, a key methodological feature.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, permitting open sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic or temporal bias inherent to the source platform and collection methodology.
