Based on Real Needs
Support offer builds on experience accumulated since 2021 and on articulated demand from members.
EGRISS is uniquely positioned to provide targeted technical support to national statistical institutions working to improve data on forcibly displaced and stateless populations. As a group that brings together a hub of relevant expertise — spanning national statistical offices, international organisations and technical specialists — EGRISS can mobilise peer support, methodological guidance and hands-on assistance tailored to the specific context of requesting institutions.
Technical support is available to all institutions within national statistical systems working in the area of forced displacement or statelessness, or seeking to strengthen their engagement with the international recommendations. Requests are assessed collectively by EGRISS members, who contribute their expertise on a voluntary basis and coordinate responses through the Secretariat.
This service complements — rather than replace — the more comprehensive technical assistance that EGRISS members provide through their own institutional mandates, ensuring that the group’s collective offer is targeted, demand-driven, and grounded in practical experience.
What can be requested?
Our technical support is structured around three core services:
How to submit a request?
Please send an e-mail to the EGRISS Secretariat and include "Technical support request from [Name of institution]" in the subject line. In the body of the e-mail, include the institutional and contact details of at least one focal point, and a description of the support needed.
What happens once the request has been submitted?
Requests for technical support are received by the EGRISS Secretariat, which carries out an initial review to assess the nature and scope of the request before consulting with the Steering Committee and relevant EGRISS members. This consultation process is essential to ensuring that each request is matched with the right combination of expertise, and that the level of support offered is realistic given the Group's current workload and available capacity.
All requests are handled in line with an established Standard Operating Procedure, designed to ensure a consistent, transparent and accountable process from receipt to delivery. You can expect an initial response within 5 to 10 weeks of submission, though the timeline will depend on the nature and complexity of each case.
For further information or if you have any questions, please contact the Secretariat directly.
