International Recommendations on Statistics
Implementation examples
Since the endorsement of the International Recommendations on Refugee and Internally Displaced Persons Statistics (IRRS and IRIS), the EGRISS Secretariat has been monitoring their implementation at national, regional, and global levels. In 2023, since the International Recommendations on Statelessness Statistics (IROSS) were endorsed, the monitoring system was expanded to include statelessness statistics. Over 335 examples of planned, ongoing or completed initiatives have been identified so far.

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. During its third mandate International Recommendations on Statelessness Statistics (IROSS) were also developed. Currently, EGRISS is on its fourth mandate, focusing on the implementation of three sets of recommendations at national, regional and international levels. EGRISS is a multi-stakeholder group comprised by members from 62 national authorities and 40 regional and international organisations.
