Tajikistan Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stocks

Annual data on internal displacement in Tajikistan, sourced from the Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). It provides validated estimates for two primary metrics: the stock of people living in displacement at year-end and the flow of new displacement incidents. The dataset is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling displacement trends over time based on annual validated estimates.
• Analyzing the impact of conflict or natural disasters on internal displacement flows.
• Comparing year-end internally displaced person (IDP) stock figures across different years.
• Understanding displacement dynamics where individuals may be displaced multiple times, as the data tracks incidents rather than unique individuals.

Strengths

• Data is validated and maintained by the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct, standardized metrics: year-end IDP stock and new displacement incidents.
• Uses the internationally recognized 1998 Guiding Principles definition of an internally displaced person.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic or temporal bias inherent to the source platform and reporting mechanisms.
