Bulgaria - Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA) - 2023

The 2023 Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA) in Bulgaria evaluated the profiles and urgent needs of households displaced from Ukraine as part of a regional response to the Ukraine Situation. The assessment aimed to inform the 2024 Regional Refugee Response Plan by capturing data on refugee access to basic services, identifying service gaps, and determining key priorities. Data collection was conducted between July 16 and August 25, 2023, using a probability-based random sampling method. A total of 1,055 households were surveyed, with randomization procedures based on administrative data (Admin 3) provided by the Bulgarian State Agency for Refugees. Most respondents were concentrated along the Black Sea coast, where a significant number of Ukrainian refugees reside. The data collection, training of enumerators, and analysis were coordinated by Global Metrics Ltd. The findings were compared with the 2022 MSNA to assess changes in needs and service delivery. This assessment provides critical evidence to guide refugee response efforts in Bulgaria and shape funding and programming priorities.

Jordan - Socio-Economic Survey on Refugees in Host Communities - Vulnerability Assessment Framework (VAF), 2024

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. The tool and sector-specific indicators have been developed by the Inter-Sector Working Group (ISWG), in close coordination with the Sector Leads. The VAF consolidates all sector-specific assessments into one, with the intent of deduplicating data collection exercises and minimizing the burden on refugee households.
For the sixth VAF population study in 2023, refugee households residing in host communities were randomly sampled across all governorates to explore thematic and sectoral vulnerabilities for refugee populations of all nationalities within Jordan. In this iteration, a new set of questions were included to capture how climate change affects refugees’ lives.
This data was collected in person between September 2023 and November 2023.

Mozambique - Results Monitoring Survey (RMS) - 2023

The UNHCR Results Monitoring Survey (RMS) in Mozambique, conducted from February 27, 2023, to April 7, 2024, by CS Research and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, assessed the impact in areas such as Health and Nutrition, Water Sanitation Hygiene, Protection, and Education among refugees, asylum-seekers, and IDPs. Covering regions like Cabo Delgado and Nampula, the survey employed mixed sampling methods, including phone surveys (CATI) for widespread geographical coverage, excluding Nampula City and Maratane Camp, and face-to-face interviews (CAPI) in specified areas. This approach, integrating non-probabilistic and probabilistic techniques, and stratified by gender, provided comprehensive data, crucial for UNHCR’s strategic planning and reporting in Mozambique.

South Sudan - Results Monitoring Survey (RMS) - 2022

The Results-Monitoring Survey (RMS) was conducted by UNHCR South Sudan in the last quarter of 2022 to serve as a pilot tool for measuring country operations' results regarding internally displaced persons (IDPs). Using computer-assisted personal interviews, around 4,634 questionnaires were carried out proportionally across eight states. The target was IDPs in camps and non-camp settings, including hard-to-reach areas. A simple random sampling method was used to allow generalizability and minimize bias. The questionnaire was tailored to the local context while drawing from the standard RMS instrument. Sample sizes were calculated for states and counties based on displacement figures and partner presence. A 95% confidence level and 5% margin of error determined the state samples. The county samples used 90% confidence and 5% margins given the need for greater precision at lower administrative levels. Total target was 5,309 households, allocated proportionally. High response rate (97%) exceeded targets in some counties. The pilot provides baseline data on results indicators to track over time. Key aspects were representative sampling, localized questionnaire, sufficient sample size, and community access enabling quality data for ongoing monitoring.

Burundi - Socioeconomic Survey - 2019

The Burundi 2019-2020 Socioeconomic Survey presents a detailed dataset on the socioeconomic conditions of refugees in Burundi. Conducted alongside the UNHCR's Verification Exercise, it leveraged the UNHCR and the Government of Burundi's database, selecting a systematic random sample. The survey utilized Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) for data collection, with questionnaires covering a wide range of topics like household characteristics, education, employment, and access to services. Initially conducted through in-person interviews, the survey adapted to phone interviews due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fieldwork involved three teams from mid-November 2019 to May 2020, with extensive training and supervision to ensure data quality. The questionnaire, primarily in English, was administered with interpreters when necessary. Additionally, uniform sample weights were estimated for each household based on their selection probability, and sensitivity checks were performed to validate the data's robustness. This dataset is crucial for understanding the complex socioeconomic dynamics faced by refugees in Burundi.

Angola - Livelihoods Programme Monitoring Beneficiary Survey, 2022

The UNHCR Livelihoods Monitoring Framework takes a program-based approach to monitoring, with the aim of tracking both outputs and the impact of UNHCR dollars spent on programming (either via partners or through direct implementation).

The process for developing the indicators began in 2015 with a review of existing tools and approaches. Consultations were held with governments, the private sector, field-based staff and civil society partners to devise a set of common, standardized measures rooted in global good practices.

Since 2017, a data collection (survey) has been rolled out globally, and the participating operations conducted a household surveys to a sample of beneficiaries of each livelihoods project implemented by UNHCR and its partner. The dataset consists of baseline and endline data from the same sample beneficiaries, in order to compare before and after the project implementation and thus to measure the impact.
