The IRIS framework provides a detailed structure for defining and measuring IDP populations, ensuring that data on IDPs is consistent, reliable, and comparable across different contexts and countries. The framework includes recommendations for both stock data (the number of IDPs at a given time) and flow data (movements into and out of the IDP population), providing a comprehensive understanding of internal displacement dynamics. This methodology has been applied in various contexts, such as in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Colombia, where detailed IDP profiling has been essential for understanding the needs and vulnerabilities of displaced populations."},{"id":"Topic","value":"Social Protection & Labor: Migration"},{"id":"Unitofmeasure","value":"Number"}]}]}]}]}
