The grid square values were derived using the National Bureau of Statistics' 2019 population projection estimates that were adjusted to account for displacement of people. The locations people have been displaced to were directly obtained from IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM). The locations people have been displaced from were derived using DTM and the Armed Conflict Locations and Events Database (ACLED). Numbers of displaced people per location were calculated using recorded numbers of international refugees and internally displaced persons.
