10 questions to ask when analyzing registration data

Determine the percentage of the population by sex, age group, andother factors, and consider:

• Is it the same as the local population? Does it coincide with the data from the country of origin?

• Is there a higher-than-average percentage of women? Children? Older persons? Persons with disabilities?

• If one group, such as adult men or young children, seems under- or over-represented, find out why.

• Has the registration team been trained on how to identify and register groups with specific needs and persons at heightened risk?

• Have groups with specific needs been registered in detail in coordination with community services? If not, why not and how will this be done?

• Have those responsible for registration understood the criteria for unaccompanied and separated children?

• Does the population profile indicate potential protection risks for any particular group?

• Who might be at heightened risk? Why? What immediate action isbeing taken to protect these persons? Has a confidential, individual case-management system been established?

• Do you have data on the leadership structure? Are any groups,especially minorities, youth and women, not represented? If so, why?

• How does the socio-economic status and ethnic, linguistic and religious composition of the refugee population compare with that of the local host population?
