4th African School on Migration Statistics: Forced Displacement and Statelessness Statistics
Speakers and attendees at the High-Level Event ‘Data & Forced Displacement – Fostering refugee inclusion through national statistics’, one of a series of discussions at the Global Refugee Forum 2023.
Date: 26 - 28 May 2025
The 4th African School on Migration Statistics is organized by STATAFRIC, SCB and EGRISS, through the Africa Regional Task Team of its Technical Subgroup One on Regional Engagement & Capacity Development, which is led by Institut National de la Statistique de Djibouti (INSTAD), with global support from the International Organization for Migration (IOM). This School will be graciously opened by Cote D’Ivoire’s National Institute of Statistics (INS). Funding is provided by Sweden (through its project implemented by SCB and STATAFRIC), IOM, the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), Statistics Norway, UNHCR and EGRISS Secretariat.
The 4th African School on Migration Statistics will be geared towards experienced statisticians and other data specialists working within national statistical offices on data related to migration, refugees, IDPs and/or statelessness. Ideally participants will be familiar with the International Recommendations on Refugee, IDP and Statelessness Statistics, and be able to discuss/present on planned/ongoing/recent efforts in their context to include these populations in their national statistical system. Participants from responsible government line ministries (e.g., Ministries of Interior, Planning, Migration, Refugees, Disasters etc.) are also invited to participate in this School. Virtual participation will be available; however, depending on available facilities, some sessions will not be broadcast.
