IDMC Launches Global Report on Internal Displacement 2016 By Alexandra Bilak This is a key week for us at the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), as we publish our new Global Report on Internal Displacement (GRID 2016), marking a significant breakthrough for us as we synthesize all our reporting on global internal displacement into one report. This will be supported by a new Global Data Platform which will continually update the figures online. By reporting on all situations of internal displacement, regardless of their cause, our intention is to provide an ever more holistic picture of what has truly become a global crisis. The key findings of the report reveal that conflict, violence and disasters internally displaced 27.8 million people in 2015, subjecting a record number of men, women and children to the trauma and upheaval of being forcibly displaced within their own country.
