The IRC generates robust evidence across crisis-affected contexts that is based on, and contributes to, an existing body of knowledge; fills critical gaps in our understanding; and can inform decision-making and be translated into action. This document summarizes the IRC’s ongoing and completed research studies. The research presented here is organized by outcome area, with each study listed only once. However, many studies are crosscutting and could apply to more than one outcome.

Our analysis shows that millions of ‘people caught in crisis’ - people living in conflict, and/or who are displaced within their own countries or across borders – are in fact being left behind.
