2025 All Members Meeting 

The 2025 All Members Meeting of the Expert Group on Refugee, IDP and Statelessness Statistics (EGRISS) will take place in Warsaw, Poland, from the 28th to the 30th of October. Representatives from all current members are invited to attend the event, which will also welcome a selection of external partners to discuss the need for inclusive, high-quality, and harmonised national statistics on forced displacement and statelessness. The agenda is still under development and will be shared closer to the date.

Capitalising on the substantial outcomes from the successful 2022 All-Members Meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the next convening will provide a vital opportunity to review the Group’s achievements, share experiences and lessons learnt from implementation of the IRRS, IRIS and IROSS, and define our future direction, as our current mandate (2020–2025) draws to a close.

Why Poland?

Statistics Poland is proud to host the event in their headquarters in Warsaw. Poland’s experience hosting displaced people, particularly from Ukraine, has given rise to meaningful statistical inclusion efforts and highlighted the importance of evidence-based policies and response.

Objectives of the meeting

●   Review progress made against the 2020–2025 TOR, including major deliverables and institutional growth;

●   Highlight successful implementation of IRRS, IRIS, and IROSS and lessons learnt at national, regional and global levels, including through country case studies and peer-learning;

●   Co-develop priorities and scope of work for a fourth mandate (2026–2030) in advance of EGRISS’ official report to UNSC in 2026.
