IDU: Internal Displacement Updates for Turkmenistan (Event Data)

The Internal Displacement Updates (IDU) dataset from the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) provides provisional event data on new internal displacements caused by conflicts and disasters. It is updated daily and covers a rolling 180-day period, focusing on displacement flows. The dataset for Turkmenistan currently contains no recorded displacement events for the last 180 days.

Use Cases

• Monitor new conflict-induced displacement flows based on provisional event data.
• Track disaster-related internal displacement updates within a 180-day window.
• Analyze trends in forced migration patterns using initial assessments from multiple sources.
• Compare provisional IDU data with validated annual stock and flow estimates from the GIDD.

Strengths

• Updated daily, providing near-real-time provisional data.
• Covers a defined 180-day rolling time window for recent events.
• Sourced from the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Data is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO for open use.

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 require preprocessing to avoid double-counting, as noted in the description.
