IDU: Internal Displacement Event Data for Solomon Islands

A daily-updated dataset from the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) providing provisional information on new internal displacements (flows) caused by conflicts and disasters over the last 180 days. The dataset focuses on the Solomon Islands and offers initial assessments sourced from various publishers. Finalized and validated estimates are published separately in the annual Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD).

Use Cases

• Monitoring daily displacement flows based on the 180-day rolling event window.
• Analyzing conflict and disaster triggers for new internal displacements based on provisional event data.
• Comparing provisional IDU estimates with finalized GIDD stock data for validation studies.
• Tracking displacement trends in the Solomon Islands based on the geographic focus.

Strengths

• Updated daily, providing a near-real-time view of displacement events.
• Covers a defined 180-day time period for consistent temporal analysis.
• Sourced from the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Available via API for programmatic access and integration.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is provisional and may contain unvalidated estimates, with risk of double-counting noted in documentation.
