Dear <<First Name>>,

A refreshed look, a new website, exciting field news from our missions to Luhansk, Ukraine and Sudan, an English version of the  profiling report from El Salvador, and an update on our work on developing international recommendations on IDP statistics through the Expert Group on Refugee and IDP Statistics (EGRIS): the new year looks promising with these and more projects underway.

We look forward to continuing our collaboration with you and wish you a happy new Year.

On behalf of the JIPS team,
Corina & Francisco
