“Introduction to the International Recommendations on Refugee, IDP and Statelessness Statistics” is a free, self-paced online course developed by EGRISS in collaboration with the United Nations Statistical Institute for Asia and the Pacific (UN-SIAP) as part of the Technical Subgroup on Regional Engagement and Capacity Development. It gives practitioners in national statistical systems the concepts, methods, and tools to compile official statistics on refugees, internally displaced persons and stateless populations, aligned with the content of the IRRS, IRIS, and IROSS
Upon successful completion of the final assessment and evaluation of the content, participants will be eligible to receive a certificate.
Course Objectives
EGRISS first ran the course in March–April 2023, combining live webinars with five online modules on the IRRS and the IRIS. Given its success and demand, a self-paced version was released in May on SIAP’s online platform. After the IROSS was endorsed, the course was updated to include statelessness. This revised edition was rolled out between April and May 2024, and the self-paced version launched in June of the same year.Â
In 2026, the course was translated into French and Spanish, and EGRISS delivered its third facilitated edition between August and October.
