UNHCR’s new Refugee Data Portal was just announced at the Global Refugee Forum Progress Review! This trailer was screened at the Progress Review in Geneva to give delegates a glimpse of the new portal that will be launched in 2026.
With JDC support, UNHCR is using the Refugee Data Portal project to bring together accessible and robust socioeconomic and protection statistics with forced displacement and statelessness population numbers. These public-good statistics will support UNHCR in the transition from using data to describe the scale of displacement challenges to using data to inform effective, sustainable responses, in ways that integrate humanitarian, development, and government action. The distillation of high-quality survey microdata into statistics that are aligned with international best-practice, and which have been reliably quality-assured, is also key to widening the range of actors who can make effective use of UNHCR data.
