Outcomes and commitments on internal displacement of the World Humanitarian Summit 2016, para. 66
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Where States lack the capacity for data gathering and analysis they should collaborate with expert international partners. Among important data initiatives, the Special Rapporteur highlights JIPS, an inter-agency service helping Governments, humanitarian and development agencies to acquire, maintain and update reliable data and analysis on internal displacement situations, including disaggregated population data. The Service recognizes that informed solutions must be based on a more complete data picture of internally displaced persons. In Honduras, a Government-led profiling exercise supported by JIPS helped to build an evidence base and inform policy development on internal displacement providing a good example that could be replicated.
