Supporting states with displacement indicators for disaster risk reduction
Robust, disaggregated and harmonized data can improve disaster preparedness, support durable solutions for displaced populations, and unlock access to climate finance mechanisms.
We have been working with IOM to develop and test a set of standard displacement-related metrics and indicators that strengthen the ability of disaster risk reduction actors to integrate displacement into their work.
By establishing these common indicators, the partnership helps address critical data gaps, enhances national capacities to collect and use displacement data, and facilitates evidence-based decision-making.
Read more on the IOM website about the indicators and how they are being adopted by four countries.
