As UNHCR statistics generally rely on data from host countries, statistics on refugees alone can give an insufficient account of refugee numbers, as some host countries will not grant refugee status to certain groups. Including statistics for individuals in refugee-like situations is an attempt to account for unrecognised refugees and does not include internally displaced persons. Statistics for stateless refugees are included if available.

Assistance particularly to the Roma refugees from Kosovo. The Red Cross is the implementing partner of UNHCR and runs the Konik camp for them. As well as physical infrastructure there is an emphasis on education of women, preventing early marriage and the provision of legal aid, for example to acquire identity documents, which are a prerequisite for access to many other rights.
Psycho-social support is also provided to other refugees and vulnerable people. The focus is on inclusion in society and access to education.
