Our goal is to promote collaborative responses to displacement by supporting actors to collect and analyse profiling data through consensus-building processes.  \nSet up in 2009, 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 International Rescue Committee (IRC), 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) .  \nCONTENTS  \nINTRODUCTION 7  \nHOW IS PROFILING IN URBAN SETTINGS DIFFERENT? 10  \nNEED FOR PROFILING 12  \nADVOCACY AND AWARENESS RAISING 16  \nPROCESS MANAGEMENT 18  \nMETHODOLOGY 21  \nQUESTIONNAIRES AND ANALYSIS PLANS 30  \nDATA COLLECTION AND FIELD ORGANISATION 34  \nDATA ANALYSIS, VALIDATION AND REPORTING 38  \nDISSEMINATION AND COMMUNITY FEEDBACK 41  \nCONCLUSION 44  \nINTRODUCTION  \nMost of the world’s forcibly displaced population – refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs)– reside in urban settings today, and how to locate, advocate for, and assist both them and their host families is a set of unsolved challenges. Many argue that it makes no sense to try to distinguish displaced people from the wider urban population – that all urban poor are ‘displaced’ in one form or another, and that everyone faces the same problems of crime, crumbling infrastructure, poverty and unemployment. Particularly internally displaced persons, it has been argued, are indistinguishable from rural migrants, and trying to identify “IDPs” is a useless exercise at best and misguided (even foolish) at worst.  \nThere is no doubt that humanitarian and development agencies need to understand the mix of needs and capacities of everyone living in poor urban settings in order to design and monitor the most effective programs. However, it is also true that not everyone faces the same challenges. Some groups, including refugees and IDPs, face specific problems related to their forced displacement, including loss of family members, livelihood sources and assets, traumatic experiences, discrimination and continued risk of persecution. A growing body of evidence from urban areas1 suggests that, compared with other groups, displaced persons are more likely to:  \n• be unemployed, or work in insecure or low-paid sectors,  \n• live in female headed households,  \n• have children who are working instead of at school,  \n• have higher levels of debt,  \n• experience housing insecurity, and  \n• feel discriminated against by the community.  \nIn addition, displaced people often liv","cbCaiiTaVOLFmdEg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiTaVOLFmdEg","pdf",2144744,48,"English","# Introduction\n## How is profiling in urban settings different?\n## Need for profiling\n## Advocacy and awareness raising\n## Process management\n## Methodology\n## Questionnaires and analysis plans\n## Data collection and field organisation\n## Data analysis, validation and reporting\n## Dissemination and community feedback\n## Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"Why is profiling in urban settings different from rural displacement profiling?\",\"answer\":\"Urban displaced people often live close to or within non-displaced households, so profiling must collect comparative data from both groups in the same neighbourhood.
