This data is by request only

The 2022 Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessment (MSNA), conducted by the REACH Initiative in close collaboration with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and mandated by the Inter-cluster Coordination Group (ICCG), aims to understand the multi-sectoral and sector-specific needs, circumstances, and vulnerabilities of households across the entire territory of the Central African Republic. It also aims to understand specific needs and vulnerabilities of population groups, namely non-displaced households, returnees, internally displaced persons (IDPs) living in host communities, and IDPs living at sites. The needs assessment covers protection, health, mental health, WASH, Shelter and NFI, Education, food security, livelihoods and disabilities, as well as the perception of and satisfaction with humanitarian aid (AAP). The 2022 MSNA was conducted through a statistically representative household survey across 66 accessible sub-prefectures (admin2) out of the 72 sub-prefectures of the country. The inaccessible sub-prefectures were evaluated using a Key Informant survey. In consultation with key humanitarian partners and actors, a joint set of indicators, questions, and answer choices were developed for the assessment of needs in the context of the Central African Republic. All surveys were conducted through face-to-face interviews, using the tablet-based Kobo Collect Open Data Kit (ODK) app. Household data collection took place from July 20 to September 18, 2022. A total of 12,347 households were assessed after data cleaning. Data is statistically representative at a 92% confidence level and a +/- 10% margin of error with a buffer of 10% for the entire population on the level of sub-prefectures (admin2) and higher levels, and for specific population groups on the level of prefectures (admin1) and higher levels.

The INFORM Severity Index is a regularly updated, and easily interpreted model for measuring the severity of humanitarian crisis globally. It is a composite index, which brings together 31 core indicators, organised in three dimensions: impact, conditions of affected people, and complexity. All the indicators are scored on a scale of 1 to 5. These scores are then aggregated into components, the three dimensions (Impact, Conditions, Complexity), and the overall severity category based on the analytical framework. The three dimensions have been weighted according to their contribution to severity: impact of the crisis (20%); conditions of affected people (50%); complexity (30%). The weightings are currently a best estimate and will be refined using expert analysis and statistical methods. Each crisis will fall into 1 of 5 categories based on their score ranging from very low to high. ACAPS – an INFORM technical partner – is responsible for collection, cleaning, analysis and input of data into the model and the production of the final results.

This dataset is part of the data series [?]: UNHCR - Socioeconomic assessment of Refugees

Kenya hosts over half a million refugees, who, along with their hosts in urban and camp areas, face difficult living conditions and limited socioeconomic opportunities. Most refugees in Kenya live in camps located in the impoverished counties of Turkana (40 percent) and Garissa (44 percent), while 16 percent inhabit urban areas—mainly in Nairobi but also in Mombasa and Nakuru. Refugees in Kenya are not systematically included in national surveys, creating a lack of comparable socioeconomic data on camp-based and urban refugees, and their hosts. As the third of a series of surveys focusing on closing this gap, this Socioeconomic Survey of Urban Refugees's aim is to understand the socioeconomic needs of urban refugees in Kenya, especially in the face of ongoing conflicts, environmental hazards, and others shocks, as well as the recent government announcement to close Kenya’s refugee camps, which highlights the potential move of refugees from camps into urban settings. The SESs are representative of urban refugees and camp-based refugees in Turkana County. For the Kalobeyei 2018 and Urban 2020–21 SESs, households were randomly selected from the UNHCR registration database (proGres), while a complete list of dwellings, obtained from UNHCR’s dwelling mapping exercise, was used to draw the sample for the Kakuma 2019 SES. The Kalobeyei SES and Kakuma SES were done via Computer-Assisted Personal Interviews (CAPI). Due to COVID-19 social distancing measures, the Urban SES was collected via Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI). The Kalobeyei SES covers 6,004 households; the Kakuma SES covers 2,127 households; and the Urban SES covers 2,438 households in Nairobi, Nakuru, and Mombasa. Questionnaires are aligned with national household survey instruments, while additional modules are added to explore refugee-specific dynamics. The SES includes modules on demographics, household characteristics, assets, employment, education, consumption, and expenditure, which are aligned with the Kenya Integrated Household Budget Survey (KIHBS) 2015–16 and the recent Kenya Continuous Household Survey (KCHS) 2019. Additional modules on access to services, vulnerabilities, social cohesion, mechanisms for coping with lack of food, displacement trajectories, and durable solutions are administered to capture refugee-specific challenges.

Time Period of the Dataset [?]: October 01, 2023-April 30, 2024 ... More

This dataset updates: Never

This dataset presents findings from Protection Profiling and Monitoring conducted by UNHCR and partners between October 2023 and April 2024 across Belarus, Bulgaria, Czechia, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia. The objective of this regional exercise is to strengthen evidence-based protection responses by regularly collecting and analyzing data on the demographics, protection risks, legal needs, displacement patterns, and basic needs of refugees from Ukraine. Data was gathered through household-level interviews conducted face-to-face at border crossing points, reception and transit centers, collective sites, and assistance locations in major cities. The structured questionnaire was administered by trained enumerators from UNHCR and partner organizations using digital data collection tools. Although respondents were selected to reduce bias, the sample follows a non-probability design and results should be interpreted as indicative rather than statistically representative of the refugee population.

Time Period of the Dataset [?]: October 01, 2024-December 31, 2024 ... More

This dataset updates: Never

Community-Based Protection Monitoring (CBPM) is one of UNHCR’s key tools to identify and monitor key protection issues including violations of rights, displacement, needs of vulnerable populations, access to rights and services, safety, freedom of movement, and occurrences of issues involving Gender Based Violence (GBV), Child Protection (CP), explosive hazards and Housing Land and Property (HLP), in order to identify persons in need of assistance, inform the humanitarian response and advocate for the protection of civilians. CBPM also serves as an evidence-base for design and implementation of protection programs. The methodology used has been jointly developed with the Afghanistan Protection Cluster (APC) and includes standardized data collection tools (HH, KII and FGDs). To monitor and compare the protection environment of girls, boys, men, and women, the data is disaggregated by age and gender that identifies adolescents, youth, and elderly, as well as population groups (i.e., refugees, refugee returnees, undocumented returnees, IDPs, IDP returnees, host communities).

Data collection took place from May to July 2024 and followed a purposive sampling approach. While not random, the methodology was designed to reflect the geographical and gender distribution of the refugee population using Temporary Protection (TP) data from the Ministry of Interior. Enumerators worked within these parameters, using the snowball method to identify respondents who matched the criteria. The survey was a collaborative effort by UNHCR and the International Organization for Migration. Its findings will inform strategic planning and resource allocation to improve the welfare and resilience of refugees in Czechia.

This dataset is part of the data series [?]: UNHCR - Rapid Household Assessments

Following the change in authority in Afghanistan on 15 August 2021 and the resulting declaration of a Level 3 emergency, UNHCR introduced a rapid assessment methodology to quickly assess humanitarian and protection needs throughout the country as part of scale-up by UNHCR to respond to the unfolding crisis - an effort that continued throughout 2024. The primary focus of the assessments were IDPs and IDP returnees who account for the majority of the households interviewed in these assessments. Nonetheless, as UNHCR takes a whole-of-community approach in its assistance programme, vulnerable host community members were also assessed, alongside a small number of refugee returnees, asylum seekers and refugees, as well as deported and spontaneous returnees under an area-based approach. The Rapid Household Assessments (RHAF) covers all 34 provinces.
