If refugees are to access greater opportunities, we need a better understanding of the barriers they face and the opportunities available to them.

That starts with data.

Refugee numbers declined in 2025, but the story behind the figures matters.

Most refugees want to go home, but it must be voluntary, safe and with dignity.

For every person forced to flee…

Protection matters. Solutions matter.

Better evidence helps governments and their partners move beyond assumptions and make more informed decisions on jobs, services, and opportunities for displaced people and the communities that host them.

@UNHCRThailand The evidence says otherwise.

Research presented at the 4th JDC Research Conference on Forced Displacement highlighted how displacement can shape local economies and communities in different ways.

[Joint Data Center on Forced Displacement @jointdatacenter]

How assistance is provided can influence how it is used.

Evidence presented at the 4th JDC Research Conference on Forced Displacement highlighted why understanding these choices matters.

Good data helps policymakers make more informed decisions.

@UNHCRThailand @WB_AsiaPacific Jobs. Services. Housing. Opportunity.

As displacement situations become more protracted, governments face increasingly complex policy choices.

Opening the 4th JDC Research Conference on Forced Displacement, Melinda Good highlighted why robust evidence matters.

[Joint Data Center on Forced Displacement @jointdatacenter]

What supports self-reliance? What makes returns sustainable? How can countries better include displaced populations in their systems?

These are some of the questions being explored during the 4th JDC Research Conference on Forced Displacement.

@UNHCRThailand @WB_AsiaPacific

[Joint Data Center on Forced Displacement @jointdatacenter]

@UNHCRThailand @WB_AsiaPacific For displaced and stateless people, visibility is about more than being counted.

It shapes access to services, protection, and opportunities to rebuild lives.

In #Honduras, internally displaced people are now included in the national household survey.

This matters. Inclusive data helps identify gaps, inform policy, and target services—supporting more informed national responses.

Data by @WorldBank @Refugees @jointdatacenter shows that many Sudanese households are forced to reduce health and education spending, sell assets, and withdraw children from school to manage food shortages and income shocks. 👇#KeepEyesonSudan
