From May 26-28, 2025, Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, hosted the 4th African School on Migration Statistics. The workshop brought together 35 participants from across Africa to address the critical need for improved data on forced displacement and statelessness.
Co-organized by the African Union Institute for Statistics/STATAFRIC, EGRISS, Statistics Sweden, and other key partners, the event focused on practical applications of international statistical standards (IRRS, IRIS, IROSS). Participants shared country experiences, identified regional challenges, and developed forward-looking recommendations to strengthen national statistical systems.
