This evaluation was commissioned by the UNHCR Evaluation Service to generate evidence and insights regarding UNHCR’s work to support States to end statelessness and was timed to inform potential adjustments for the remaining years of the implementation of the Global Action Plan to End Statelessness: 2014-2024 (GAP). The evaluation covered the period of 2001 to 2020 with particular focus on actions and advocacy efforts of UNHCR and partners to support the GAP since 2014. It highlights the development of the International Recommendations on Statelessness Statistics (IROSS) as an important action to support improving data on stateless population groups.
