Job Description

1. Consultancy assignment backgroundThe Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) is the world's definitive source of data and analysis on internal displacement. Since its establishment in 1998 as part of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), it has offered a rigorous, independent and trusted service to the international community. Its 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. Each year, IDMC provides validated estimates of the magnitude of displacement due to disasters and violence at global, regional and country levels, following IDMCs data model for capturing the total number of internally displaced people (IDPs) and the total number of cumulative internal displacements. These estimates are published in IDMCs Global Report on Internal Displacement (GRID) and the Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD).Building on IDMCs experience collating, aggregating, verifying and analysing internal displacement data during the past 26 years, government capacity strengthening on internal displacement data is a growing area of work in IDMC. In both project-based and programmatic work, IDMC is managing a range of capacity-strengthening activities, including conducting training of government actors on internal displacement data metrics and on research methodologies and indicators use to capture internal displacement, developing guidance documents reflecting global best practices on data on internal displacement mapping, and providing recommendations on current data practices by governments and their partners.This consultancy is for a part-time, 6 months Capacity Strengthening Tool Designer.
