Our partners
Our donors and partners value us for…
Our provision of multi-source, verified global estimates of the number of persons internally displaced by conflict, violence, disasters, and development projects worldwide.
Our interdisciplinary research and expertise on the drivers, patterns, and impacts of internal displacement across different country situations, contexts, and scenarios.
Our independent voice, tailor-made advice and support that informs global, regional, and national policy-making
Why Support IDMC?
IDMC has been providing reliable data, information, research and analysis on internal displacement for the past 20 years. We offer an essential service to the international community through the maintenance of our Global Internal Displacement Database, and our flagship annual publication - the Global Report on Internal Displacement. We provide expertise and thought leadership to improve our understanding of the scale, scope and patterns of internal displacement. Our targeted messaging and political engagement serves to keep the issue high on the international agenda. Further, IDMC’s work has ensured that internal displacement is integrated as an issue of relevance across some of the world’s key global and regional policy frameworks.
While IDMC provides an essential global public good, we are entirely dependent on the generous support we receive from our funding partners. We welcome contributions for our general core budget, which enables us to fulfil our UN-endorsed mandate. We also actively seek support for specific project activities and offer tailored advice and analysis for partners, as aligns with our global strategy. We encourage our partners to enter multi-year funding agreements when possible to support our financial requirements with sustained funding.
IDMC invests all of the contributions we receive into the production of our global IDP figures, research, and analysis, informing humanitarian and development programming and ensuring the essential protection of IDPs throughout their displacement.
If you or your organisation are interested in making a contribution to IDMC, our team would be pleased to discuss the different ways you can support our work. For further information, please contact IDMC’s Business Development Manager, Dawn Marie Vout, at: dawn.vout@idmc.ch.
Read the IDMC Workplan 2022-2024 which outlines the organisation’s key activities.
"It's clear that adequate, timely and disaggregated figures are the essential basis for a much-needed comprehensive analysis of what IDPs' most pressing needs are, their specific vulnerabilities and coping strategies, the opportunities for and obstacles to durable solutions that they may encounter"
