BACKGROUND
The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is the global leader in the provision of data, information and analysis on internal displacement. IDMC monitors all situations of internal displacement, provides quantitative estimates of the numbers of IDPs worldwide, and develops research and analysis, which seeks to better inform policy and operational decisions that affect the lives of internally displaced people.
Every year, IDMC publishes a Global Report on Internal Displacement (GRID) which presents key figures on the number of people living in internal displacement as a result of conflicts, violence and disasters, on the numbers of internal displacements and analyses specific situations of internal displacement around the world. IDMC also releases thematic reports (on children, women, IDPs with disabilities, education, climate change…) and bi-annual regional reports. In December 2024, IDMC will release a report on internal displacement in Africa.
These reports are usually launched in public events, including key note speakers, presentations of key findings and panel discussions. IDMC is looking into organizing more impactful events and learning about interactive ways to engage with the participants.
