What is Profiling?
Profiling is a collaborative exercise that seeks to establish a shared understanding of displacement situations and the circumstances and characteristics of those affected. It uses mixed-method approaches to collect and analyse data on displaced populations, their host communities and others, and situates this in broader considerations of the economic, political and social backdrop of displacement.
The overall aim is to create a comprehensive and mutually agreed evidence base to inform more effective humanitarian and development interventions, advocacy efforts and the development of national policies to support the achievement of durable solutions.
