The SC meets every six weeks at technical level to guide priorities and coordinate activities.

Annual High-level Meeting

Annual High-level Meeting

Senior representatives convene once a year to strengthen strategic direction and collective decision-making.

EGRISS’ work is overseen by a Steering Committee (SC) that guides the group’s activities and collectively makes key strategic decisions on behalf of it. Representatives from 15 institutions including national statistical offices, regional organisations, and international partners sit in the SC and meet regularly to discuss progress and activities. In addition, a high-level meeting is planned on an annual basis, bringing together senior leadership with the objective of strengthening EGRISS’ ability to further the common agenda to improve official statistics on refugees, IDPs, and stateless persons.

Under this guidance, activities are undertaken by the broader membership and organised as thematic subgroups, each responsible for the implementation and coordination of the work and providing a platform for information sharing and exchange. The Steering Committee and subgroups benefit from support and coordination of the EGRISS Secretariat, hosted by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).
