Since 2017, the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has produced an annual report on the world’s most neglected displacement crises. The report is published in June each year and is designed to raise awareness and advocate about the ten most neglected displacement crises.

The list of ten countries is compiled using a methodology based on the key characteristics of neglect, namely: funding coverage, media attention and political will. The methodology has evolved over the years, and in 2024, NRC commissioned an external review with a view to making the methodology more statistically robust and enhancing the advocacy that NRC carries out related to the report.

This document provides a detailed overview of this revised methodology, which will be used for the 2024 report and going forward.
