Online data resources
Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD)
This data dashboard displays global and country-level data on internal displacements (movements) and internally displaced people (IDPs) that we have validated for the previous year available. You can search by location, type of displacement and date range.
Our country profile pages provide additional validated country-specific data for recent years as well as links to additional information for each country.
Internal Displacement Updates (IDU)
Use this map to access the latest preliminary data on displacement events worldwide collected from our various sources. Note that this data is not validated and therefore subject to change as we get additional information.
Global Repository of Best Practices
This platform allows you to search examples of policies and programmatic approaches identified as supporting better solutions for internally displaced people worldwide.
Displacement severity assessments
IDMC’s severity assessments compare IDPs’ living conditions to those of their host community or non-displaced communities in the same country.
