Population Statistics and Surveys
Scope of forced displacement - facts and figures (end-2005)
• Estimated 38 million persons displaced globally – 8.7 million refugees (UNHCR)– 4.2 million Palestinian refugees in Middle East (UNRWA)– ≈ 24 million internally displaced (IDMC)
• 21 millions persons of concern to UNHCR, end-2005

An approach to IDP profiling: Surveys
• Increasing use of surveys for many purposes, including for estimating numbers and profiling of IDPs
• Provision of technical guidance on methodologies, sampling design, scope, questionnaire design, data management and analysis
• Working on generic methodologies & guidelines which could be adapted according to needs and contexts
• Key topics: – Identification of protection needs – Coping behaviors– MDGs– Provision of global estimates– Gender-related issues
• Scope and Definitions– Asylum migration nexus, national vs international– Terminology: Who is a refugee, an IDP? – Time, location, distance, causes
• Data sources and triangulation– Coverage: Key information are missing– Register updating– Sources for triangulation – Data collection methodologies and tools
• Data quality– Timeliness in rapidly changing situations– Comparability, scope– Compliance with recommendations (UN, UNECE, UNHCR)
• Human resources– Skills and training– Uses of data for informed decision making
Key challengesKey challenges
Refugee Registration
The recording, verifying and updating of information on persons of concern to UNHCR with the aim of protecting and documenting them and of implementing durable solutions.
What is Registration?
States bear the primary responsibility for registration
UNHCR assumes an operational role only if needed
Who is responsible for Registration? “States, which have not yet done
so, to take all necessary measures to register and document refugees and asylum seekers on their territory as quickly as possible upon their arrival, bearing in mind the resources available, and where appropriate to seek the support and cooperation of UNHCR” (ExCom Conclusion No. 91, 2001)

IDP Profiling &
UNHCR’s Expectation on Collaboration
Strategic Directions UNHCR to engage in IDP Profiling as part of its
functions to lead the protection and CCCM clusters.
IDP Profiling will be undertaken in a collaborative manner
Non-UN stakeholders will be invited to join and to establish advisory capacity (academia, governments, inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations, etc.)
UNHCR to increase its IDP Profiling capacities and invest in staff and tools
Key objectives of Profiling numbers, age/ gender breakdown, Location, causes for displacement, patterns of displacement, protection Concerns key humanitarian needs, potential solution for the group (if available)
How can we obtain the “profiles”?

Nairobi Technical Workshop on IDP Profiling: Findings
IOMNRCOCHAWFPUNHCR
In October 2006, UNHCR invited its partners to a workshop in Nairobi. The workshop confirmed:
There are no standards, common procedures, tools, etc.
No agency has yet developed the conceptual or operational capacity to undertake large-scale IDP Profiling in multiple theatres
UNHCR has a comparative advantage due to its refugee registration concepts, standards, tools, and experience.
What needs to be done?
Develop strategic and institutional frameworks (political)
Mobilize existing resources, competent staff, necessary resources, and deploy multi-functional teams (operational)
develop policies, standards, methodologies and tools (technical)
Any Questions?
