Report
The IRC’s Metrics for Asylum Policies (MAP) project investigates the ways asylum and border policies are currently designed and provides policymakers with more effective tools to design, implement, and measure policies. This project draws on the IRC’s on-the-ground experience working with displaced people in over 40 countries across contexts of origin, transit, and destination in the Global North and South. To satisfy the diverse motivations of policymakers, measurement indicators are suggested by thematic area: compliance with national and international law; the protection and safety of migrants and refugees; the economic impacts for sending and receiving communities; the integrity of national security and orderly procedures; and progress toward global responsibility sharing.
