The initial expectation of this mission was to explore the relevance and feasibility of a profiling process in Erbil, with the aim of informing comprehensive responses to the displacement situation. During the mission, the process advanced through stakeholder consultations and technical working sessions to produce an outline of the methodology approach. The mission also included the facilitation of a 3-day profiling training, which raised awareness about profiling and paved the way for discussions during the mission. The training was attended by 33 participants from the Government, NGOs and UN agencies. The training focused on raising awareness around profiling, its differences and complementarities with other data collection exercises and systems, and map and strengthen existing capacity and interest to participate in a collaborative profiling exercise.
