Globally Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Database - http://www.idpproject.org/IDP_project/Info_symposium.pdf Lessons learned in developing a global IDP information project. The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has since December 1999 offered the humanitarian community comprehensive and updated information on internal displacement around the world through its Global IDP Database. This information initiative is one component of the Global IDP Project (http://www.idpproject.org), which also provides training and its own publications on internal displacement. The dramatic growth in the availability of humanitarian information during this two-year period has not just enabled the Database to realize its advocacy role, but also to provide a valuable working tool for humanitarian actors to access IDP information in a cost-effective manner. Future development of the Database is now very much dependent on diminishing the gaps that exist in the reporting on internal displacement and improving the variable quality of existing information.
