Montenegro Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Annual data on internal displacement in Montenegro, sourced from the Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). It provides validated estimates for two primary metrics: the year-end stock of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and the count of new displacement incidents. The dataset is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO and was last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Modeling displacement trends based on annual stock and flow figures.
• Analyzing the impact of conflict or disasters on internal displacement in Montenegro.
• Comparing validated displacement figures with other regional or global datasets.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Distinguishes between population stock (year-end IDPs) and new displacement incidents (flows).
• Uses the standardized 1998 Guiding Principles definition of an IDP.

Limitations

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