Morocco Internal Displacement Figures: New Displacements and IDP Stock

The Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD), maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), provides validated annual estimates of internal displacement. It tracks two primary metrics: the year-end stock of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and the flow of new displacement incidents. The data for Morocco is sourced from this global database and was last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Modeling displacement drivers based on conflict and disaster triggers mentioned in the description
• Analyzing long-term displacement trends based on validated annual stock figures
• Estimating humanitarian resource needs based on new displacement incident counts
• Comparing displacement patterns across different causal categories (conflict, disasters)

Strengths

• Data is validated and maintained by the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct, standardized metrics: stock of IDPs and flow of new displacement incidents.
• 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 and temporal coverage for Morocco are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic or reporting bias inherent to the source methodology.
