Usage Guidance
-
This metric is intended to capture the number of individuals served by the organization who have been forcibly displaced, including refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced persons, stateless persons, and returnees.
-
For more information on forcible displacement, see the United Nations’ World Refugee Day website (https://www.un.org/en/events/refugeeday/background.shtml) and the World Health Organization’s displaced people summary (https://www.who.int/environmental_health_emergencies/displaced_people/en/).
-
This metric may help describe the HOW MUCH Scale dimension, which helps estimate the number of the targeted stakeholders experiencing the outcome. For more on the alignment of IRIS metrics to the five dimensions of impact, see IRIS+ and the Five Dimensions of Impact (https://iris.thegiin.org/document/iris-and-the-five-dimensions/). No single metric is sufficient to understand an impact; rather, metrics are selected as a set across all dimensions of impact. When possible, the selection of metrics to measure and describe the five dimensions should be based on best practice and evidence.
