UN Statistical Commission

The Expert Group on Refugee, IDP
and Statelessness Statistics (EGRISS)

 

The United Nations Statistical Commission (UNSC) established the Expert Group on Refugee, IDP and Statelessness Statistics (EGRISS) at its 47th session in 2016, with the initial mandate to develop International Recommendations on Refugee Statistics (IRRS). EGRISS’ mandate was later extended to develop the International Recommendations on Internally Displaced Persons Statistic (IRIS) and a Compilers’ Manual. Currently, EGRISS is on its third mandate, focusing on the implementation of both sets of recommendations at national, regional and international levels as well as the development of the International Recommendations on Statelessness Statistics (IROSS), successfully endorsed at the 54th session of the UNSC, in 2023. EGRISS is a multi-stakeholder group comprised by members from 60 national authorities and 37 regional and international organisations.
