Chad - Standardised Expanded Nutrition Survey (East, South and Lake Region) - 2021

The UNHCR Standardized Expanded Nutrition Surveys (SENS) provide regular nutrition data that plays a key role in delivering effective and timely interventions to ensure good nutritional outcomes in the refugee populations. CHAD hosts approximately 450.000 refugees mainly originating from Sudan, Central African Republic and Nigeria representing about 4% of the total population of the country. This can be explained by the security challenges caused by tensions in neighboring countries and by the macroeconomic situation of the country itself. Additionally, the Covid-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the livelihood of this already vulnerable population due to loss of means of income and reduction of revenues and support. In this context, the 2021 SENS survey was organized by UNHCR and the WFP, in collaboration with Chad Health Ministry. The data collection took place between June 17 and July 22, 2021 and covered 25 camps of Sudanese, Central African and Nigerian refugees in the East, South, and Lake Regions of Chad, including host villages living 25 Kilometers around the camps. A total of 705 clusters of 15320 households were surveyed, including 13087 children between 0 and 59 months of age who were surveyed for Anthropometry. A detailed report of the nutritional situation of the various segments of the population was published in a report which is published together with all the relevant datasets.

Indonesia - Socio-Economic IVR Survey - 2021

While no segregated studies of the impact of COVID-19 on livelihoods on forcibly displaced people in Indonesia amongst UNHCR's persons of concern exist, UNHCR observed since May 2021 increasing case numbers amongst refugees and asylum seekers, especially as refugees are currently not included in the national vaccination scheme and are not able to receive COVID-19 treatment through the State's budget, though few local governments recently started vaccinating refugees as well. As of June 2021, there were 10,082 refugees and 3,334 asylum-seekers registered with UNHCR, of whom 7,490 are from Afghanistan (UNHCR 2021). 
The aim of the survey is to assess refugee's welfare, vulnerabilities, and coping strategies with regards to the socioeconomic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the impact of ongoing restrictions and the lockdown on refugees' socioeconomic status at a critical time of the pandemic in Indonesia.
  This has been conducted via a phone survey to test effectiveness and feasibility of using Interactive Voice Response (IVR) as an alternative data collection mode to CAPI and CATI interviews, in times where access to face- to- face data collection can become difficult. The pilot survey measures livelihoods and the socioeconomic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on forcibly displaced people in Indonesia. The survey will contribute to the understanding of the living conditions and the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on refugees and forcefully displaced persons.

Afghanistan - Voluntary Repatriation 2021

UNHCR monitors refugee returnees through the process of Voluntary Repatriation to Afghanistan. As part of this process, UNHCR interviews refugees willing to return to Afghanistan at the Voluntary Repatriation Centers in the country of asylum, monitors the return condition through household-level interviews at the Encashment Centers in Afghanistan and follows up on the returnees' situation in the areas of return one to six months later through phone surveys. Upon return to Afghanistan, returnees are assisted at four Encashment Centers with a cash grant to support their immediate humanitarian needs and transportation costs. Returning refugees receive a cash grant up to USD 250 per individual, as well as a range of services to support their reintegration.
This dataset is from household interviews at the Encashment Centers. Other datasets from Encashment Centers are available for each year from 2010 to 2021. The objective of the interviews is to record details on the returnee households and family members including the amount of cash grant received.

Peru - Flow Monitoring Tumbes (Entries), Q2 2022

UNHCR Peru undertakes flow monitoring of Venezuelan refugees and migrants to analyze their movement dynamics at the border, their protection needs and vulnerabilities.
For the most part, families in transit are walking or asking for hitchhiking and crossing the borders using irregular routes, which increases protection risks along the way. The analysis of this information contributes to the design of responses to mitigate these protection risks.
The results are not statistically representative and should be considered as a general indicator of the trends.

Jordan - Vulnerability Assessment Framework Population Survey for Refugees Living in Camps, 2022

The Vulnerability Assessment Framework (VAF) is a key tool used by humanitarian and development organizations in Jordan. It contributes to coherent vulnerability identification and programme delivery across sectors. . It was designed in 2014 with a focus on Syrian refugees residing outside of camps. This dataset collected between November and December 2021 presents the first efforts in expanding the scopes to the  Zaatari and Azraq refugee camps.
Residents of both Azraq and Zaatari camps were randomly sampled to explore trends and vulnerabilities specific to the camp context. As the questionnaire was first used to collect the data in the urban setting, it was tailored for the refugee camps context to account for the camp residents’ living circumstances, allowing for a deeper understanding of this specific group. A total of 10,141 individuals, representing 2,208 families living in 1,620 households, were interviewed in person.

Iraq - Protection Monitoring of Refugees in Response to COVID-19, 2020

As a result of COVID-19 movement restrictions and preventative measures, UNHCR initiated the remote protection monitoring exercise as an alternate modality to conduct targeted and systemized protection monitoring surveys for the refugee and asylum seeker population in Iraq. The survey was designed to provide an overview of how COVID and COVID related measures have affected protection concerns of refugees and asylum seekers over time and the continued impact on their access to rights, services, and coping mechanisms over the course of the year. The exercise was initiated in August 2020, covering all governorates of Iraq and surveying Syrian households and of other nationalities. A total 1,407 HH were interviewed in Round 3 (November-December 2020), complementing 1,605 HH interviewed in Round 2 (October 2020), and 1,653 HH interviewed for Round 1 (August-September 2020).

Uganda - Post-Distribution Monitoring of Cash-Based Interventions for Women at Risk - November 2021

Uganda is home to over 1.5 million refugees, mostly from South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burundi. With over 4,000 GBV incidents in the first 10 months of 2021, prevention and response activities remain a priority for the operation. Over 1,500 survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) received cash assistance from UNHCR, to help the recovery from traumatic experiences and cover the basic needs of her family. This intervention is part of a broader programme financed by the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) in 2021 to strengthen GVB prevention and response in five refugee settlements in Uganda, namely Rhino Camp, Bidibidi, Adjumani, Palorinya and Kyangwali. Following an in-depth needs assessment, UNHCR provided the cash assistance via mobile money to over 1,500 women at risk and GBV survivors. Each woman received approximately US $46 a month for eight months, in addition to a cellular phone and financial literacy training.
  This data is the result of a household survey used to measure the results of the programme. Data was collected via telephone interviews using a structured individual-level questionnaire.

Afghanistan - Post-Distribution Monitoring of Cash-Based Interventions - 2021-22

UNHCR uses Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) as a mechanism to collect refugees’ feedback on the quality, sufficiency, utilization and effectiveness of the assistance items they receive. The underlying principle behind the process is linked to accountability, as well as a commitment to improve the quality and relevance of support provided, and related services. UNHCR increasingly uses cash based interventions (CBIs) as a preferred modality for delivering assistance, offering greater dignity and choice to Persons of Concern (PoCs) in line with UNHCR’s core protection mandate. In order to ensure that the cash assistance provided meets the intended objectives and that desired outcomes are achieved, UNHCR conducts regular post-distribution and outcome monitoring with a sample of refugee recipients residing across the country. This study monitors the following type of Cash Assitance: Basic Needs (MPCA), Education, Energy, cash for persons with specific needs, cash for protection and covid-19, rent, shelter repair, voluntary return and winterization.
