GAIN TABLES 2025

GAIN Tables is a publication developed in response to increased demand for data from the Global Annual Inclusion (GAIN) Survey. As the survey has expanded in scope, so has the use of its data — now supporting methodological work, capacity-building efforts, stakeholder data needs, and other workstream. Following the scope and structure of the 2024 first edition, this second iteration is based on data published in the EGRISS 2025 Annual Report and the interactive dashboard available online. It also provides additional tables, maps and snapshots of the GAIN Survey’s 2025 results.

The publication is organized begins with a series of tables displaying overall trends on examples and the use of IRRS, IRIS and IROSS (Section 1), followed by example implementation analysis, including country-led and institution-led examples disaggregated by policy use, inclusion of national population, components of IRRS, IRIS and IROSS most frequently used, as well as challenges (Section 2). The document continues with tables on methodological developments (Section 3), EGRISS publications and their visibility (Section 4), Global Refugee Forum pledges (Section 5), and future examples (Section 6). The publication concludes with a maps section providing supplementary visual geographical information.
