DRC Subnational Displacement Forecasts API
Subnational displacement forecasts, intended for humanitarian organizations, policymakers, researchers and stakeholders involved in displacement response and planning.
The Subnational Displacement Forecast API provides structured and secure access to forecasted displacement data across countries and different administrative levels to support decision-making, preparedness, anticipatory action and operational planning.
The API is designed for humanitarian organizations, analysts, governments and partners to integrate displacement insights into planning systems, dashboards and analytics tools.
Scope and Data Availability
The API provides forecast data for Somalia, Uganda, South Sudan, Sudan, eastern DR Congo, Mali and Yemen at admin levels 1, 2 or 3, depending on the country.
Frequency
DRC produces 3-month forward subnational displacement forecasts every month. As an example, forecasts published in mid-June produce estimates of displacement for June, July and August. API forecast data will be updated as new forecasts are released on a monthly basis.
