IDP

Displaced but domestic

IDP is an acronym with several common meanings depending on context.

In humanitarian usage, it stands for internally displaced person—someone forced from their home by conflict or disaster but remaining within their country's borders, distinguishing them from refugees who cross international lines.

In technology, IDP often means identity provider, a service that authenticates users: The company uses Okta as their IDP.

In software development, it can refer to an internal developer platform.
