JDC

Improved protection and wellbeing of forcibly displaced persons and those affected by forced displacement is achieved through coherent implementation of evidence-informed humanitarian and development action and inclusive policies. The Joint Data Center on Forced Displacement (JDC) was set up by the World Bank and UNHCR to enhance the ability of stakeholders to make timely and evidence-informed decisions that can improve the lives of affected people. The JDC brings together the staff, resources and capacities of both organizations to enable sustainable change for affected populations by improving the evidence-base for national policy, development, and humanitarian operations. Ultimately, the JDC will also serve as a global public good addressing the needs of both affected governments and populations, while ensuring results are made widely available.
