Moderated by Walter Kaelin, former Representative of the U.N. Secretary-General on the human rights of IDPs, this event will highlight the challenges of data collection and analysis in humanitarian contexts as well as the opportunities for greater collaboration moving forward. This panel responds directly to the U.N. Secretary-General’s call for data and joint analysis to become the “bedrock of our action”. Policy-makers, practitioners and academics will offer key recommendations for improving data collection and analysis to deliver more effective responses to forced displacement and to help empower and protect women and girls through improved gender data.
