The Expert Group on Refugee, Internally Displaced Persons, and Statelessness Statistics (EGRISS) is a multi-stakeholder group mandated by the United Nations Statistical Commission to develop international recommendations, standards, and guidance for improved forced displacement and statelessness statistics. Since its establishment in 2016, EGRISS has made significant progress supporting countries and regional and international organisations to enhance their collection, production, and dissemination of official statistics on the populations that give its name.
EGRISS comprises members from 62 national statistics authorities from different regions of the world and 41 regional and international organisations. Openness and inclusivity are critical aspects of their working methodology, welcoming collaboration with new, relevant partners from the statistical and policy-making communities.
