Zambia IOM Displacement Tracking: Subnational IDP Figures for Admin 1 and 2

Zambia subnational displacement data from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) provides aggregated figures for internally displaced persons (IDPs) as of March 2026. The records cover national, Admin 1 (provinces), and Admin 2 (districts) levels sourced directly from the DTM API.

Use Cases

• Mapping IDP concentrations across Zambia's provinces using Admin 1 location names
• Calculating district-level humanitarian needs based on aggregated IDP figures
• Comparing displacement trends between different subnational administrative areas (Admin 2)

Strengths

• Official data from the International Organization for Migration (IOM)
• Standardized administrative levels (Admin 1 and Admin 2) for subnational analysis
• Sourced from a public API ensuring consistent data structure

Limitations

• Aggregated data only, lacking granular site-level or individual-level details
• Excludes sensitive protection data which may limit specific vulnerability assessments
• Unknown total record count and specific column headers in the provided metadata
