Hungary - Protection Profiling and Monitoring - May-Dec 2022

To strengthen and promote an evidence-based protection response, UNHCR and its partners have been implementing a protection monitoring exercise since May 2022 to regularly collect and analyze data about the profiles, needs and intentions of refugees from Ukraine and monitor changes over time. The exercise covers the following countries that have received refugees from Ukraine: Belarus, Bulgaria, Hungary, Republic of Moldova (5,035), Poland, Romania and Slovakia.

The protection monitoring involves household-level interviews conducted at border crossing points, reception and transit centres, collective sites, and assistance points in major cities using a structured questionnaire. Trained enumerators from UNHCR and partners collect data in face-to-face interviews. While respondents are randomly selected to reduce bias, the sample is considered a non-probability sample and results should be considered indicative, meaning they cannot be extrapolated to the population of refugees from Ukraine. The result reflects the refugees' situation and intentions at the time of data collection.

This dataset includes 541 household interviews conducted in Hungary between May and December 2022. It is an anonymous version of the original data collected and used for the primary analysis.

Peru - Interagency Flow Monitoring Tacna, 2022

UNHCR and IOM collected a flow monitoring survey 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.

Cameroon - Far North Joint Assessment of Nigerian Refugees - Nov 2021

UNHCR-WFP joint assessment mission (JAM) of Nigerian refugees in the Far North of Cameroon carried out between October 7 and 19, 2021. The objective of the assessment was to collect updated information on basic needs, shelter, food security, nutrition, water and sanitation, education, protection, security, common services, and livelihoods of Nigerian refugees to inform improved humanitarian assistance. This dataset contains data collected from samples of 607 out of approximately 10,000 households hosting 60,000 refugees in the Minawao settlement and 435 from close to 11,000 households hosting 57,000 refugees in host villages in surrounding border areas. The majority of the Nigerian Refugees in this Region fled violence and attacks perpetrated by Non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs) such as Boko-Haram in the Neighboring Nigeria since 2014. The report published in September 2022 reveals interesting findings such as the difference in dependency ratios between the refugees in camps and those living in the host population. Additionally, comparative analysis on indicators such as the Food Consumption Score (FCS) and the reduced Coping Strategy Index (rCSI) between the two (02) groups are conducted and yield some interesting findings.

Mali - Cash-Based Interventions Post-Distribution Monitoring - AUG 2021

Cash-Based Interventions (CBI) are used by the UNHCR as one of the preferred mean of delivering assistance to forcibly displaced and stateless persons in line with its core protection mandate. Following CBI interventions, post-distribution monitoring (PDM) surveys are organized among recipients to gather their feedbacks to measure the effectiveness of assistance and take measure to improve subsequent similar interventions. 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. This CBI PDM was conducted on Refugees households living in settlements in 6 administrative areas of Mali (Gossi, Menaka, Ntillit, Gao, Tessit, Tombouctou) between the 23-26th Aug 2021. A sample of 426  Households distributed across the 6 locations was randomly selected and interviewed in this exercise.

Poland - Multi-Sector Needs Assessment - 2022

Starting in February 2022, an increasing number of refugees and third-country nationals (TCNs) entering Poland was registered as a result of the war in Ukraine. As of July 2022, over 4.3 million arrivals have been reported by the Polish authorities from Ukraine. To ensure that reponse actors have the necessary evidence base to effectively respond to the needs of Ukrainian refugee households in Poland, UNHCR and REACH carried out this joint Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessment (MSNA) targeting the population displaced due to the war in Ukraine and currently residing in Poland.
Due to lack of complete data on location and profile of refugees residing in Poland, PESEL registration data (the national identification number used in Poland) was used as a proxy indicator for sampling for non-probability quota sampling for refugees residing in the host community. The sample includea two distinct population groups: refugees living in host community, outside of the collective sites (CSs), and refugees residing in CSs. Refugees living outside of CSs cover a variety of accommodation types, including private accommodation, being hosted by family, friends, or by Polish families, among others. 
  This dataset is the anonymous version of the original dataset.

Chile - Livelihoods Programme Monitoring Beneficiary Survey, 2021


        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.

Pakistan - Health Access and Utilization Survey 2022

Pakistan is host to one of the most protracted refugee situations in the world with some 1.3 million registered Afghan refugees in the country. Under current policies, refugees and Afghans are included in the national health system at the same conditions and costs as Pakistani nationals. There is a lack of disaggregated health data on refugees, leading to difficulties in monitoring refugee health status, access, and utilization of health services. To get a better picture and inform internal programming, UNHCR commissioned a health and utilization survey (HAUS), to measure health outcomes and access to health services for refugees in Pakistan. In addition, the survey assessed levels of knowledge of available healthcare services, identified barriers to access to healthcare and evaluated the impact of the discontinuation of the parallel health system on refugee communities. The survey was undertaken prior to the 2022 floods and therefore does not reflect the impact thereof.
