Nepal Internal Displacements: New Displacement Incidents and IDP Stock

Nepal-specific data from the Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) provides annual estimates of internal displacement. The dataset includes two primary metrics: the number of people living in displacement at year-end (IDP stock) and the count of new displacement incidents (new displacements). It is maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling displacement trends based on annual stock and flow figures.
• Analyzing correlations between conflict, violence, or natural disasters and new displacement incidents.
• Tracking long-term internal displacement stock figures for population impact assessments.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct metrics: year-end population stock and new displacement incidents.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, permitting open use with attribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update timestamp is from March 2026.
