To respond to the pandemic within the JDC’s mandate, the Center is working to include forcibly displaced populations in research and phone surveys on socioeconomic impacts of the pandemic in many countries.

The JDC launches its Strategy for 2021-2023 describes how the Center prioritizes its engagements to improve the protection and well-being of populations affected by forced displacement through better data and evidence. 

The first JDC’s Annual Report provides an overview of what the Center believes are the existing major data and evidence gaps for those affected by forced displacement, and reflects on the activities undertaken by the JDC to improve the availability and accessibility of high-quality socioeconomic data.

The high-frequency phone survey monitors the economic and social impact of and responses to the COVID-19 pandemic on refugees and nationals. This survey brief summarizes the results of the third round of the joint national and refugee HFPS.

JDC once supports an update to the study Compounding Misfortunes. In this update, the World Bank and UNHCR join forces with World Food Program to revise poverty projections in light of the latest macroeconomic estimates for 2020, as well as forecasts for 2021, in Lebanon and Iraq-KRI.

The Center solicits the submission of papers on the collection and analysis of microdata on forcibly displaced populations and their hosts for it’s 2nd Research Conference.
