Solomon Islands Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stocks

The Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) from the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) provides 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 is validated and follows the 1998 Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement.

Use Cases

• Modeling displacement trends over time based on annual estimates.
• Analyzing the impact of conflict and natural disasters on internal displacement flows.
• Comparing year-end IDP population stocks across different regions or years.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct metrics: population stock and new displacement flows.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, allowing for 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.
