Ethiopia - Results Monitoring Survey, IDP - 2022

The UNHCR Results Monitoring Survey (RMS) is a household-level survey on persons of concern (PoC) to UNHCR directly or indirectly assisted by UNHCR, including refugees and asylum seekers, internally displaced persons, returnees, stateless and others of concern. The objective of the survey is to monitor impact and outcome level indicators on education, healthcare, livelihoods, protection concerns, shelter, and water and sanitation. The results contribute to an evidence base for reporting against UNHCR’s multi-year strategies to key stakeholders.

The RMS can be implemented in any operational context. A standard structured questionnaire has been developed for the RMS, which can be conducted as a stand-alone survey or flexibly integrated with other data collection exercises. The data includes indicators collected at both the household and individual (household-member) level, and results are statistically representative.
  
  This RMS took place in Ethiopia from July 2022 to August 2022. The surveyed population was IDPs only. Total number of IDPs in Ethiopia is close to 3,500,000 as of 2022. The survey design uses a cross-sectional, stratified two stage cluster random sampling, and it is meant to be representative at the ADM3 level.

Jordan - Post Distribution Monitoring: Multi Purpose Cash Assistance Mid-Year 2022

This dataset contains the results from the 2022 mid-year Post-Distribution Monitoring (PDM) exercise carried out in June 2022, of the UNHCR multi-purpose cash assistance in Jordan. 
Jordan hosts 761,580 refugees, making it the fourth host country of refugees per capita in the world. To ensure that the basic needs of the most vulnerable are met, UNHCR provides cash assistance to recipients selected based on vulnerability criteria.
As of June 2022, cash assistance continues to have a positive effect on respondents’ psychological and financial wellbeing. In comparison to August 2021, more respondents reported that their wellbeing was improved significantly because of the programme. Just as in previous years, most respondents spent the cash assistance on basic needs, mainly rent (80%) and food (45%). While expenditure on rent has slightly increased since October 2021, fewer respondents spent the cash assistance on food, continuing a tendency of the past few years.
The percentage of respondents’ households holding debt reached 91%, the highest figure since late 2018. Meanwhile, food insecurity increased for non-Syrian and, even more substantially, for Syrian refugees, nearly closing the gap between the two groups. As most respondents could meet only half or less than half of their basic needs, many adopted coping strategies such as reducing expenditure for basic needs, buying food on credit or taking out loans. This year, 1 in 5 respondents also reported engaging in activities for money that may put their household at risk of harm, marking a 19-percentage point increase from the summer of 2021. 
Feedback on UNHCR communications and treatment remains largely positive. Most recipients surveyed received the cash assistance on time and in the expected amount, and most felt that they were treated with respect. Furthermore, there was an increase by 26 percentage points from August 2021 in the share of recipients who are aware of how they can report complaints and feedback to UNHCR. However, there were substantial variations in satisfaction levels among those who contacted UNHCR in the past year, with Syrians being the most likely and Yemeni the least likely to be satisfied with the support provided.

Mozambique - UNHCR-WFP Joint Assessment Mission in Maratane - 2020-2021

The objectives of the UNHCR-WFP Joint Assessment Mission (JAM) 2021 were to: collect updated information on refugees’ and host communities’ capacities to meet their basic needs, their livelihood opportunities and challenges, and any related protection concerns, including the level of integration and social cohesion between the two groups; understand the current food security and nutrition situation of the refugees and host community; and describe the vulnerability characteristics of refugee households in the camp and those in the host community to inform programmatic decision-making.

The survey was designed to generate statistically representative findings for the refugee population residing in Maratane settlement and the Mozambican host community living east of the river Ruvuma within a 6 km radius from the centre of the settlement. In addition to the household survey, 16 focus group discussions (FGDs) and 7 key informant interviews were conducted both in-settlement refugees and the host community. Data collection of household survey took place between 20th August and 11th September, and FGDs and key informant interviews between 20th September and 15th October 2021.

The sample frame of the refugee household survey for Maratane settlement was UNHCR’s proGres database and was verified by the Instituto Nacional de Apoio aos Refugiados (INAR). The sample was drawn each in Maratane settlement and the host community at the 95 per cent of confidence level and 5 per cent considering non-response rates. In the settlement, the sample was stratified by sex of household heads. In total, 951 households completed interviews, 579 in the settlements and 372 in the host community.

Slovakia - Multi-Sector Needs Assessment - 2022

Starting in February 2022, an increasing number of refugees and third-country nationals (TCNs) entering Slovakia was registered as a result of the war in Ukraine. As of 25 May 2022, Slovak authorities reported over 450,000 arrivals from Ukraine out of whom close to 420,000 were Ukrainian refugees and close to 14,000 TCNs. Data collected by REACH between March and June 2022 also indicated that 38% of respondents crossing the border into Slovakia considered it as their final destination and that 65% of those intended to stay in the country as long as the conflict in Ukraine continued. To respond to their needs, collective centers (CCs) were to host the refugees. While these centers play a key role in the humanitarian response, the overwhelming majority of refugees reside in the host community; however, little to no information is currently available (May 2022) to response actors regarding their demographic profile, household composition, geographical presence, vulnerabilities, humanitarian needs, movement intentions, or coping capacities.

In this context, REACH with the support of UNHCR undertook a multi-sector needs assessment (MSNA) light with the global objective of supporting an evidence-based humanitarian response in Slovakia through the provision of multi-sectoral data about the needs and coping capacities of Ukrainian refugee households in the country. Data collection took place between 18 July and 12 August2022. This dataset is the anonymous version of the original dataset. Note that the variable nationality was removed from the dataset to protect data subjects, however all but one respondent was of Ukrainian nationality.

Zambia - Joint WFP/UNHCR Needs Assessment Mantapala Settlement - 2020

Against the recent COVID-19 pandemic and its secondary socio-economic impact, the objective of theJoint Needs Assessment (JNA) was to provide an update on the level of vulnerability and livelihoodresilience among refugee households in Mantapala settlement. Livelihood challenges and opportunities had to be identified and socio-economic profiles developed for those most vulnerable and affected bythe pandemic. Lastly, the JNA was to inform programmatic decisions and suggest the most appropriate and feasible targeting approach for future interventions by WFP and UNHCR.
An extensive literature review and technical discussions took place to identify the knowledge gap during the assessment design phase. The data collection for the assessment took place in Mantapala settlement between the 19 - 28 September 2020. A total of 1,128 randomly selected households were interviewed based on a structured questionnaire. Additionally, five focus group discussions and two key informant interviews were conducted. Findings are statistically representative at the settlement level.
This dataset is an anonymous version of the household data collected through the structured questionnaire. It was processed by UNHCR and WFP. Data users should be aware that the data includesa number of households that are composed of only minors (under the age of 18). This is a known vulnerability in the settlement, and not an error in the dataset.
