JIPS - Joint IDP Profiling Service
Dear Colleague,
We are saddened by the recent outbreaks of violence in Rakhine State in Myanmar. Despite these new developments, profiling partners in-country managed to share and discuss profiling results with communities. Separately, in this month' newsletter read about progress made on IDP statistics and the Kosovo profiling process.

Best wishes,
On behalf of the JIPS team,
Corina
 
Spotlight on ... innovating on ways to better engage with communities
Engaging with communities in Sittwe, Rakhine State of Myanmar (Aug 2017)
Bringing in community voices
How might we best share findings from a profiling exercise with communities and get their feedback on whether they reflect their perceptions? In Sittwe Township in the Rakhine State of Myanmar, profiling partners together with IDPs from camps explore the use of a film. Read about the project, and also check out the profiling report and our Innovation Project.
