This is the third issue of the EGRISS Methodological Paper Series. The collection of documents is intended as the Expert Group’s input to ongoing methodological debates and do not constitute consensus or represent the official views of EGRISS, its members, TSG 2 on ‘Methodological Research and Guidance Development’, or the institutions with which the authors are affiliated.
The current paper provides an analysis of data collection practice and computation methods for 14 prioritized Sustainable Development Goals indicators and identifies specific considerations that may be required to produce better data on refugee, IDP and stateless populations for these SDG indicators. This includes primarily an assessment of existing metadata and a review of the planning, design, and data collection phases for household surveys to identify technical and operational considerations.
The findings are targeted at supporting countries in their efforts to collect granular socio-economic data on refugees, internally displaced and stateless persons, which can enrich national SDG indicator data and ensure the visibility of these vulnerable groups using globally comparable methods.
