Mexico - Protection Monitoring 2024, H2

Mexico has seen a significant influx of individuals and groups engaged in human mobility, often using similar routes and means of transport for a variety of reasons. This diverse population includes asylum seekers, refugees, victims of human trafficking, unaccompanied and separated children, stateless persons, and migrants in vulnerable situations.
To better understand these dynamics, a protection monitoring initiative was conducted to identify trends, demographic profiles, and the protection and food security needs of people on the move. The collected data focused on the drivers of human mobility, the characteristics of individuals in transit, the risks encountered during their journeys, conditions in transit countries, as well as food security, child protection, and future movement intentions.

Ethiopia - Standardised Expanded Nutrition Survey (SENS) - 2023

This dataset presents findings from the 2023 Standardized Expanded Nutrition Survey (SENS) conducted at the Alemwach refugee site in Ethiopia’s Amhara region. Established in 2020, Alemwach hosts Eritrean refugees relocated from northern Tigray due to conflict. The survey, led by UNHCR and RRS in collaboration with government and partner organizations, aimed to assess the health, nutrition, food security, and WASH conditions of the refugee population. Using the SENS Version 3 (2018) and SMART methodology, data were collected through face-to-face interviews with households selected via simple random sampling. As of December 1, 2023, Alemwach hosted 21,557 individuals, including 1,940 children under five (9% of the population). The anonymized dataset supports evidence-based planning and targeted interventions to address the essential needs of refugees residing in Alemwach.

Afghanistan - Community-Based Protection Monitoring - 2024

Community-Based Protection Monitoring (CBPM) is one of UNHCR’s key tools to identify and monitor protection issues including violations of rights, displacement, needs of vulnerable populations, access to rights and services, safety, freedom of movement, and incidents involving Gender-Based Violence (GBV), Child Protection (CP), explosive hazards, and Housing, Land and Property (HLP). The 2024 data covers the full year and was collected using standardized tools jointly developed with the Afghanistan Protection Cluster (APC), including household interviews (HH), key informant interviews (KII), and focus group discussions (FGDs). The data supports protection analysis and humanitarian programming by providing disaggregated information across age, gender, and population groups.

Uganda - Results Monitoring Survey (RMS), CATI - 2024

The Results Monitoring Surveys (RMS) in Uganda assess changes in the living conditions and well-being of populations at risk of statelessness. Conducted between November 2024 and January 2025 by the Norwegian Refugee Council, the household-level survey covered multiple thematic areas, including housing, health, protection, education, livelihoods, and WASH.

In the Ugandan context, statelessness primarily affects communities excluded from the 3rd schedule of the 1995 Constitution and therefore not recognized as official tribes, which prevents them from obtaining national identification. These include the Maragoli, Benet, Bakingwe, Bagabo, Bahaya-Baziba, and Sabaot, as well as other non-indigenous groups such as Asians, Somalis, and long-term refugees in protracted displacement. While community leaders estimate that around 67,000 individuals are at risk, the 2024 national census identified only 9,000. Many affected persons resort to registering under other tribes in order to access essential services, underscoring their continued vulnerability to statelessness.

Bangladesh - Standardised Expanded Nutrition Survey (SENS) - 2024

The 2024 Standardized Expanded Nutrition Survey (SENS) was conducted among Rohingya refugee households residing in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, between 1–21 December 2024. The survey aimed to assess the nutritional and public health status of refugees living in 33 camps and to inform evidence-based programming across health, nutrition, WASH, and food security sectors. Using a two-stage cluster sampling methodology, 672 households were selected from 48 clusters with representation across both the Kutupalong Mega Camps and registered camps (Kutupalong RC and Nayapara RC). The sampling frame was based on UNHCR population estimates as of 30 September 2024.The assessment collected data across multiple modules, including household demographics, child and maternal nutrition, water and sanitation practices, mosquito net coverage, food security, and coping strategies. Results indicated a medium level of global acute malnutrition (cGAM) among children under five (9.1%), persistent stunting (40.7%), and maternal malnutrition. Improvements were noted in complementary feeding practices and health program coverage, though challenges remain in dietary diversity, exclusive breastfeeding, and malaria prevention.Households reported high access to protected water sources and soap, with average water collection per person per day reaching 29.9 liters—above the UNHCR post-emergency standard. However, only 59.2% of households met the standard using protected containers and treated sources exclusively.

Lebanon - Vulnerability Assessment of Syrian Refugees in Lebanon - 2024

More than ten years into the Syria conflict, Lebanon remains at the forefront of one of the worst humanitarian crises. 
The Government of Lebanon estimates that the country hosts 1.5 million of the 6.6 million Syrians who have fled the conflict since 2011. The Syrian refugee population in Lebanon remains one of the largest concentration of refugees per capita in the world.
The 2024 Vulnerability Assessment of Syrian Refugees in Lebanon (VASyR) was the twelfth annual survey assessing the situation of Syrian refugees in Lebanon to identify changes and trends in their vulnerabilities. Considering the prolonged socio-economic status in Lebanon, it was crucial to provide needs-based estimates on Syrian refugees in the country.
