The Global Engagement Network on Internal Displacement (GENIDA) is an international collaborative
project on internal displacement. It is a network geared towards the protection of internally displaced persons in
Africa by bringing together academics, policymakers and civil society to address the paucity of research on internal
displacement in sub-Saharan Africa; and the inadequate response to internally displaced persons (IDPs) in law,
policy and practice in these countries. The project is an international collaboration between the Centre for Human
Rights, University of Pretoria, South Africa, and the Refugee Law Initiative at School of Advanced Study, University
of London, United Kingdom, supported by the UK Research and Innovation through its Global Challenges Research
Fund.
