Technical Subgroup 1:
Regional Engagement and
Capacity Development
Technical Subgroup 1 brings members together to advance EGRISS’ capacity development goals with a view to supporting the implementation of the International Recommendations on Refugee, IDPs and Statelessness Statistics. The group aims to function as a platform where displacement and statelessness statistics experts can connect for discussing challenges, information sharing, and coordinate on capacity development at global, regional and national level on the IRRS, IRIS and IROSS. This collective effort contributes to the development of robust statistical frameworks that inform evidence-based policies and humanitarian responses.
The group’s main objectives include:
• Map opportunities, existing platforms and interests from EGRISS members to promote capacity development activities to implement the IRRS, the IRIS and the IROSS.
• Promote the implementation of capacity development activities at regional and country level, making use of the methodologies and tools provided by EGRISS.
• Develop and update a tool kit of EGRISS materials for capacity development purposes.
• Reinforce a collaborative approach to improving displacement and statelessness statistics.
