Advocacy & Monitoring Goals
Focus on promoting/monitoring the IRRS, IRIS, and IROSS to improve data quality, comparability, and availability.
Global Community of Practice
Working together fosters a collaborative platform that enables coordination, peer exchange, and shared learning.
Member-driven Approach
Activities organised through technical subgroups, task teams, and the EGRISS Secretariat enable coordinated delivery.
EGRISS’ fourth phase (2026–2030) focuses on supporting the implementation of the International Recommendations on Refugee, IDP, and Statelessness Statistics (IRRS, IRIS, and IROSS). Through a range of activities organised and implemented by the EGRISS Secretariat and a series of Technical Subgroups under the guidance of our Steering Committee, we aim to improve the availability of quality data on these populations produced in coordination with national statistical systems.
In the long run, improved official statistics can inform policymaking, planning, and monitoring for refugees and IDPs, both nationally and globally. Activities span from e-learning and technical support to methodological research and regional engagement — all designed to support countries in building statistical systems that count everyone.
