Nigeria Displacement Site Assessments: 10 North-Central and West States

Giving access to site-level assessment data for internally displaced persons (IDP) across 10 states in Nigeria's North-Central and North-West zones. Produced by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), the records cover locations in Benue, Nasarawa, Kogi, Niger, Plateau, Kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, Katsina, and Zamfara. The data was last updated in March 2026 and follows the Humanitarian Exchange Language (HXL) standard.

Use Cases

• Analyzing site-level humanitarian needs using IOM DTM assessment indicators
• Cross-referencing displacement locations with regional conflict data using HXL tags

Strengths

• Primary source data from the IOM Displacement Tracking Matrix
• Includes HXL tags for automated humanitarian data integration
• Covers 10 high-priority states in conflict-affected zones

Limitations

• Specific row counts and column headers are not defined in the metadata
• Geographic bias toward North-Central and North-West zones only
