Data and analysis
Good decision-making relies on credible, timely data.
UNHCR is enhancing the availability and quality of data and evidence on refugees, displaced persons, stateless populations, and host communities to optimize resource distribution and develop evidence-based policies.

UNHCR and its partners actively collect and analyze socioeconomic data to inform responses that enhance protection, inclusion and solutions for forcibly displaced persons.
Our efforts are concentrated in forced displacement settings with identified knowledge gaps and high demand for data and evidence, supporting effective engagement with government officials and development partners.
Our priorities include:
- Promote the inclusion of forcibly displaced persons in national surveys, including those that measure poverty;
- Generate socioeconomic data and evidence and increase their systemic use to better inform programming, policy and advocacy;
- Leverage data and evidence as entry points to build for more sustainable support to displaced populations;
- Identify critical knowledge gaps and strengthen analytical initiatives with development partners and researchers to fill these gaps for policymaking and programming.
