Presentation of the Study “Displacement as Challenge and Opportunity: Urban Profile of refugee, internally displaced persons and host community Erbil Governorate, Kurdistan Region of Iraq”

14 Jun 2016
This work undertaken is a result of a partnership between the Erbil Refugee Council (ERC), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Erbil Statistics Directorate (ESD), the Joint Crisis Coordination Centre (JCC), International Organization for Migration (IOM), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UNHABITAT) and United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA). The Joint IDP Profiling Service (JIPS) offered technical support throughout the exercise. A Technical Working Group consisting of ESD, UNHCR and ERC, and with the support of JIPS, have developed the methodology and conducted the analysis with the helpful comments on the report and recommendations provided by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) and the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC). The whole study in English, Arabic and Kurdish languages is available on the link: http://data.unhcr.org/syrianrefugees/documents.php?page=1&view=grid&Country%5B%5D=103&Search=%23Displacement+as+challenge+and+opportunity+%23
