Invitation to bid.

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.

IDMC monitors all situations of internal displacement, provides quantitative estimates of the number of internally displaced people worldwide, and develops research and analysis which seeks to better inform policy and operational decisions that affect the lives of internally displaced people. Our data and evidence are published on our website and via our Global Internal Displacement Database.

IDMC’s Research Hub focuses on analysing displacement drivers, patterns and impacts in specific contexts across different countries. As part of this work, IDMC is seeking to hire a research analyst consultant to support with compiling and analysing large datasets to better understand displacement patterns and impacts. The research analyst consultant will clean, format and analyse primary data and other large datasets to inform IDMC’s socioeconomic impact analysis.
