General
JIPS – the Joint IDP Profiling Service – is an inter-agency service that was set up in 2009. Based in Geneva, JIPS is supervised by a Steering Committee comprised of the Danish Refugee Council (DRC), the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (NRC-IDMC), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), the Office of the Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of IDPs, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
Our goal is to promote collaborative responses and solutions for internally displaced persons (IDPs) across the world by equipping governments, humanitarian organizations and development actors with accurate information about IDP situations. These insights are generated from data collected and disaggregated by sex, age, location and diversity in the affected countries that ask for our support.Four key principles guide the work of JIPS internally and externally: ‘collaboration’, ‘complementarity’, ‘service orientation’ and ‘being well-informed’. The JIPS team works every day to improve the quality and impact of the support we provide through pursuing a dynamic and transparent work environment that brings the best out of its staff.
