The estimation of population denominators of internally displaced people (IDP) and other crisis-affected populations is a foundational step that facilitates all humanitarian assistance. However, the humanitarian system remains somewhat tolerant of irregular and inaccurate estimates of population size and composition, particularly of IDPs. In this commentary, we review how humanitarian organizations currently approach the estimation of IDP populations, and how field approaches and analytical methodologies can be improved and integrated.
估算国内流离失所者（IDP）及其他受危机影响人群的人口基数，是推动所有人道主义援助的基础性步骤。然而，人道主义系统对人口规模和构成的估算不规范、不准确的情况仍有所容忍，尤其是针对国内流离失所者的估算。在本评论中，我们审视了人道主义组织目前估算国内流离失所者人口的方法，以及实地方法和分析方法如何能够得到改进和整合。
