Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre
2024
The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) is the leading source of information and analysis on internal displacement, playing a unique role as a global monitor and evidence-based advocate to influence policy and action by governments, United Nations (UN) agencies, donors, international organizations and NGOs. The IDMC provides verified, multi-source data on the number of people who are internally displaced and then performs detailed, interdisciplinary research to examine the drivers of displacement for populations. Using the information gathered, IDMC provides customized policy recommendations for specific situations. The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre gathers data and information through thousands of published articles and UN and government reports, as well as through satellite imagery analysis.
IDMC publishes an annual flagship report entitled The Global Report on Internal Displacement. The report features displacement spotlights and up-to-date global and regional displacement figures. In addition to this main publication, the organization also produces themed research papers exploring different areas and dimensions of internal displacement. The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre creates interactive country profiles, providing an overview of the internal displacement situation within the country, along with a wide variety of data and data analysis. IDMC hosts a data portal holding displacement data, a global displacement risk model, and a displacement data exploration tool based on GapMinder. In addition to these sources, the organization also provides a news portal.
