Protracted Displacement

The Refugee Studies Centre (RSC), Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI), and Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC)/Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) collaborated on a research project designed to "to assist policy makers in unlocking conditions of protracted displacement, the scale and dimensions of which demand an urgent global response."

One initial result is the publication of these three case studies:
