We are pleased to announce that the Global IDP Project of the Norwegian
Refugee Council has changed its name to Internal Displacement Monitoring
Centre (IDMC). The name change is accompanied by a relaunch of the IDMC's
website and its online IDP database. Please go to <http://www.internal-displacement.org/>
to visit the new website and the IDP database.
New name
We believe our new name better reflects the main focus of our work: monitoring
situations of internal displacement, advocating for solutions to the plight of
the world's 25 million internally displaced people, and strengthening the
capacity of actors on the ground to improve their responses to IDP crises. The
Centre continues to be an integral part of the Norwegian Refugee Council and
its mandate remains unchanged.
Improved website
The IDMC's new website provides free and easy access to comprehensive and
frequently updated information and analysis on all situations of conflict-
induced internal displacement worldwide. The new inter-active IDP map opens an
additional gateway to the over 50 country pages currently featured on the
IDMC's website. Each country page serves as a portal to a host of IDP-related
reports, news, maps and other resources. Several thematic resource pages are
also available on the new website.
