Vanuatu Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

The Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) provides validated annual estimates of internal displacement in Vanuatu. It tracks two primary metrics: the stock of people living in displacement at year-end and the flow of new displacement incidents. The data is maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) and was last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Modeling displacement risk based on conflict and disaster events mentioned in the description
• Analyzing long-term trends in internally displaced persons (IDPs) based on annual stock figures
• Assessing the scale of new humanitarian crises based on the count of new displacement incidents
• Comparing displacement drivers (conflict, violence, disasters) over time for Vanuatu

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct, standardized metrics: stock and flow of displacement.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, allowing for open use and sharing.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update timestamp is 2026-03-18.
