Mozambique Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

The Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) from the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) provides validated annual estimates of internal displacement in Mozambique. It tracks two primary metrics: the year-end stock of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and the flow 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 drivers based on conflict and disaster triggers mentioned in the description
• Analyzing long-term displacement trends based on annual stock figures
• Estimating humanitarian needs based on new displacement incident counts

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC)
• Tracks two distinct metrics: stock of IDPs and flow of new displacement incidents
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, allowing for open use and adaptation

Limitations

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