3. www.jet.jips.org • What does JIPS do? • Field support through request process: on-site and remote technical and coordination support; durable solutions profiling, both in protracted situations and urban settings; • Development of tools and guidance, through context specific approach (mixed methods) • Training and capacity building • Advocacy and partnerships • Thematic expertise www.dart.jips.org www.parkdatabase.org JIPS Profiling Coordination Training

4. Collaborative exercise to reach consensus • Data collection and analysis to target response and inform sustainable solutions • Context specific, mixed methods approach • Process (not only results) • Often includes core data: population estimates disaggregated by sex, age, location and diversity • Overlaps but different from registration and assessments • What is profiling?

5. Twice a year • Opportunity to lead participants through the profiling process, focusing on the role of the Profiling Coordinator • Combines technical, operational, coordination and project-management capacity-building through a series of lectures, group discussions and group exercises, analytical activities and simulations in a fictional setting (Freedonia). • Designed within the narrative of a staged profiling exercise – each day followed the logical sequence of the profiling process with consistent application of knowledge and cumulative skills development. • Running since 2012 (4 times) • JIPS Profiling Coordination Training

6. Participant groups People who would be involved in profiling activities, key partners (participants of the IMWG for example), people making decisions on whether to undertake profiling activities and IMOs who provide technical support. •  Regional PCT planned, provisionally set for October 2015 • Next summer another PCT will be held in June in Geneva • Plans for a Francophone PCT in West Africa. • JIPS Profiling Coordination Training

7. Mix of technical and non-technical participants • Covering technical topics in enough detail within a 6 day training period • Large facilitation team means that a range of expertise can cover different topics, building upon JIPS’ concrete examples • Use of Freedonia fictional scenario throughout training helps to create practical exercises in a neutral location • Some key lessons and challenges

8. Field Support Training • Examples of field support training and workshops include a five day training of supervisors, enumerators and focus group facilitators in Central African Republic plus a three day consensus building workshop for the Durable Solutions Assessment in northern Uganda. Law and Policy • In 2013 JIPS was invited to co-facilitate two sessions of the Law on Internal Displacement Course held in Kampala to honor the entering into force of the Kampala Convention. JIPS highlighted the value of profiling as a process to understanding situations of internal displacement, with a particular focus on profiling to inform the development of a national instrument (policy or law) for internal displacement.  Durable Solutions • A two-day workshop took place in Côte d’Ivoire in July 2014 to inform the development of a durable solutions strategy and was co-facilitated by IDMC, ProCap and JIPS.  JIPS mainstreamed profiling into the sessions by focusing on the role of profiling indicators and the wealth of data that will be generated to support the development of the strategy. • Other training activities

9. JIPS also worked with IDMC on integrating profiling elements into the IDP Law and Policy Workshop that was held in Liberia in July 2014. This successful collaboration allowed key messaging on profiling to be mainstreamed into addressing issues of internal displacement. Protection • Since 2011, JIPS has been co-facilitating the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) Protection training to increase awareness of profiling as a tool for protection.  The training includes a half-day session on information management tools for protection, which focuses on profiling and protection monitoring. Data management • JIPS has been providing input to UNHCR’s bi-yearly operation data management learning program. • Other training activities
