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.
In order to support countries and their partners in designing successful responses to internal displacement, IDMC is seeking to collect examples of initiatives that have resulted in positive outcomes for IDPs and helped them reach durable solutions, either returning to their area of origin, integrating in their host community or resettling elsewhere.
