Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC)

Overview

The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) is the world’s authoritative source of data and analysis on internal displacement. Since their establishment in 1998 as part of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC/IDMC), they offer a rigorous, transparent and independent service to the international community, and inform policy and operational decisions to improve the lives of people living in, or at risk of, internal displacement.

With a team of around 30 people in Geneva and an annual budget of over 5 million USD, they monitor all countries in the world for which they provide verified, consolidated and multi-sourced estimates of the number of people internally displaced or at risk of becoming displaced by conflict, violence, and disasters. They complement this global data with interdisciplinary research into the drivers, patterns and impacts of internal displacement. Using this evidence, they provide tailor-made advice and support to inform global, regional and national policy-making.
