Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC)

NRC's activities are based on three main pillars, which all are directed towards strengthening international protection of refugees and IDPs. These are: Advocacy, Programme activities and the Emergency standby rosters.

NRC is an independent humanitarian non-governmental organisation. NRC is dedicated to providing assistance and protection to refugees and internally displaced persons through humanitarian interventions, and by facilitating durable solutions to forced displacement.

Description of activities
The IDMC has developed a training programme to support all relevant actors in their efforts to improve the protection and assistance provided to IDPs. Training is used to promote the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement. Training also aims at strengthening the capacity of these actors to contribute to the enforcement of IDPs’ rights, by providing training on how to make the Guiding Principles operational and improve the protection of IDPs concretely. In line with the “collaborative response” policy, which envisages joint efforts by international organisations, NGOs and national authorities to respond to the needs of IDPs on the basis of their respective mandates and expertise, the IDMC reaches out to all relevant actors and facilitates a dialogue between them. The IDMC has conducted training workshops in more than 20 countries affected by internal displacement. / Global
Five core areas of assistance: shelter, education, emergency distribution and food security, camp management, provision of information, legal assistance and counselling.
