IDRC recently launched a network of research chairs based in 12 universities across three continents. The IDRC Research Chairs on Forced Displacement<\/a> will strengthen the institutional base of knowledge production locally by developing context-relevant knowledge that enables more effective, sustainable and rights-based solutions to forced displacement challenges. The establishment of these research chairs illustrates the IDRC approach to localize knowledge production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UNHCR reports<\/a> that the number of forcibly displaced people \u2014 including refugees, internally displaced, stateless, economic and climate-change migrants \u2014 has doubled in a decade. Yet while the vast majority of the forcibly displaced reside in the Global South, the bulk of research, knowledge and capacity to identify evidence-based solutions is produced in the Global North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
