Joint IDP Profiling Service (JIPS)

The Joint IDP Profiling Service (JIPS) was set up in Geneva in 2009 as an inter-agency body to provide support to governments and humanitarian and development organisations seeking to improve locally owned information and analysis about displacement situations. JIPS’ mandate is to bring governments and international and local actors together to jointly generate and use evidence that supports displaced and host communities to reach durable solutions. Building consensus around displacement data makes the information gleaned more useful for all partners to act upon collectively.
