The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) is the world's definitive source of data and analysis on internal displacement. Since our establishment in 1998 as part of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), we have offered a rigorous, independent and trusted service to the international community. Our work informs policy and operational decisions that improve the lives of the millions of people living in internal displacement, or at risk of becoming displaced in the future.
With a team of almost 40 people in Geneva, we monitor more than 252 countries in the world for which we provide verified, consolidated and multi-sourced estimates of the number of people internally displaced or at risk of becoming displaced by conflict, violence, disasters. Our data and evidence are published on our website and via our Global Internal Displacement Database.
Currently, IDMC’s core systems are essential for maintaining the Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) and enabling data-driven insights on internal displacement trends worldwide. To enhance and modernize its data infrastructure, IDMC is rolling out a three-phase transition plan. These terms of reference focus on the first phase of the transition plan implemented by IDMC.
Phase I of IDMC’s Transition Project is focused on preparing IDMC’s data systems and applications for work by multiple service providers. Key objectives include finalizing the migration from legacy systems that need to be decommissioned, into new systems currently in used, maintaining operational continuity, and establishing robust documentation.
The primary objective of Phase I is to prepare for a transition of IDMC’s data infrastructure and applications to a multiservice provider model, ensuring the separation of operations and development functions. This approach is designed to foster collaboration and accountability among service providers, reduce the dependency on any single vendor, and ensure that systems remain operational, secure, and scalable.
