Somalia IOM Displacement Tracking: IDP Figures by Admin 1 and 2 Levels

Supplying aggregated figures for Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) in Somalia, sourced from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) API. It contains non-sensitive displacement statistics updated as of March 2026, organized by administrative levels 1 and 2. The data is maintained by the IOM to support humanitarian community and government response efforts.

Use Cases

• Mapping IDP distribution across Somalia using Admin 1 and Admin 2 geographic identifiers
• Analyzing displacement trends using aggregated non-sensitive IDP figures
• Allocating humanitarian resources based on subnational displacement counts

Strengths

• Official data sourced directly from the International Organization for Migration (IOM)
• Provides subnational granularity at Admin 1 and Admin 2 levels
• Standardized for humanitarian interoperability via the DTM API

Limitations

• Aggregated nature prevents micro-level analysis of specific displacement incidents
• Excludes sensitive protection data which may be necessary for specific case management
• Specific column headers and row counts are not explicitly defined in the API metadata
