The Development Research Centre (DRC) on Migration, Globalisation and Poverty is based at the Sussex Centre for Migration Research at the University of Sussex.

The DRC is a five-year programme funded by the UK Department for International Development.

IDS is one of a number of partners within the DRC and we are conducting research under three headings:
