Neglected displacement crises report: Methodology

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.

In 2026 a further amendment to the methodology was made to better incorporate the scale of displacement associated for each crisis. 

This document provides a detailed overview of this revised methodology, which will be used for the report analysing the year 2025 and going forward.
