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 South Africa between April and June 2022. The population of interest included all PoCs to UNHCR in South Africa, and the sample frame was taken from UNHCR's registration datasase (ProGres). Data subjects were intereviewed over the phone. This dataset is the anonymous version of the original data.
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.
This dataset is an anonymous version of the original data collected and processed by UNHCR and WFP.
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.
The data set contains the overall and sectors' people in need, people targeted and people reached by humanitarian assistance in Sudan during the period January-June 2022 broken down by admin 1 and admin 2 levels.
In January 2021, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the World Food Programme (WFP) undertook an assessment of refugees from Burundi in the Lusenda and Mulongwe refugee camps in South Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The objective of the assessment was to assess the relevance of UNHCR and WFP's targeting in the context of Burundian refugees and possibly develop a targeting strategy harmonized as much as possible with other refugee populations in DRC.
A secondary objective was to introduce barcodes linked to unique identifiers used in registration. This vulnerability assessment was conducted through an exhaustive inventory of all refugee households living in the Lusenda and Mulongwe camps (South Kivu) as well as those living outside the camps and who went to the interview locations in the camps. The survey targeted Burundian refugee households assisted by WFP and UNHCR. The data collected during the survey are quantitative and were supplemented by qualitative data collected in February 2021 in the camps of Lusenda and Mulongwe through four focus group discussions per camp for a total of eight focus groups. All refugee households in Lusenda and Mulongwe camps as well as those living outside the camp, were interviewed with a core set of questions (see variable TypeEnquete, response Ciblage). In addition, 7% of households, randomly selected, participated in a more detailed interview (see variable TypeEnquete, response Exhaustive). A total of 7,873 households were selected.
This dataset represents an anonymous version of the original dataset. A sample of the original dataset was drawn as part of the anonymization. The sample was stratified by camp (Lusenda or Muolongwe) and the type of survey (Ciblage or Exhaustive). All respondents that were part of the Exhaustive survey were preserved, while a random sample of the respondents that were part of the Ciblage survey was taken. The variable strata defines which records correspond with which group, and survey_weight provide the final weights.
In October 2021, UNHCR and WFP undertook an assessment of refugees from the Central African Republic living with host families in Zongo (South Ubangi) and Yakoma (North Ubangi) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The main objective of the of the assessment was to refine a targeting strategy that identifies the most vulnerable and supports them through assistance tailored to their needs and priorities, with a view to facilitating and achieving self-reliance.
The assessment was a joint effort between the UNHCR and WFP country offices and the UNHCR-WFP Joint Hub. Data collection took place from 3 to 17 October, 2021, in four settlements. 770 households were selected using systematic random sampling. See more details in the report. This dataset represents an anonymous version of the original dataset.
Between August and September 2021, UNHCR and WFP undertook an assessment of refugees from the Central African Republic in North and South Ubangui provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The main objective of the of the assessment of needs and livelihoods is to understand the basic needs and vulnerabilities, particularly related to livelihoods, of refugees.
The assessment was a joint effort between the UNHCR and WFP country offices and the UNHCR-WFP Joint Targetting Hub. Data collection took place from August 17 to September 17, 2021 in the four refugee camps of Bili and Inke (North Ubangi) and Boyabu and Mole (South Ubangi). 1,450 households were selected using stratified random sampling, with 1,328 were retained. See more details in the report. This dataset represents an anonymous version of the original dataset.
Between February and March 2021, UNHCR and WFP undertook an assessment of refugees from South Sudan in the sites of Biringi (Ituri province), Bele and Meri (Haut Uélé province) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The objective of the assessment was to update the basic knowledge on the humanitarian needs of the whole South Sudanese refugee population in these sites to inform programmatic decisions and assess the relevance of a harmonized humanitarian targetting strategy based on level of vulnerability.
The assessment was carried out jointly by UNHCR and WFP. All refugee households in all sites were interviewed, consisting of 8,630 households. This dataset represents an anonymous version of the original dataset. A 20% random sample of the original dataset was drawn as part of the anonymization. The sample was stratified by site (Mele, Beri and Biringi). The variable survey_weight provide the final weights.
For decades, Mauritania has maintained a generous open door policy towards Malians fleeing conflict. The most recent large-scale influx of Malians occurred in 2012, and resulted in the creation of the Mbera camp, which today hosts around 75,000 refugees. Because the large-scale return of Malians is not yet a viable option, Mauritania has committed itself to a policy of inclusion. It thus requested support from the UNHCR-WFP Targeting Hub to facilitate the inclusion of Malian refugees in the national social registry. Accordingly, the two UN agencies assisted Mauritania’s National Social Registry to conduct a socio-economic census to identify the most vulnerable households to target for prioritized assistance. Around 14,000 households were interviewed.
The purpose of the census was to:
- Collect socio-economic information on all refugees in Bassikounou to understand needs at household level
- Categorize refugee households based on their degree of vulnerability to inform programmatic decisions and joint targeting approaches
- Include all refugees in the national Social Registry
- Identify and include the most vulnerable refugees in the national social protection scheme, Tekavoul
Cash-based Interventions (CBIs) are a dignified form of assistance, giving recipients the ability to immediately prioritise and address their needs for food, shelter/accommodation, and other necessities. CBIs also directly complement community protection measures and support the local economy and can contribute to peaceful coexistence within and across communities. UNHCR Afghanistan has used cash-based interventions for several years for a wide range of purposes, including voluntary repatriation, basic needs, community-based protection, and livelihoods among others. UNHCR seeks to improve cash programming by regularly and systematically collecting information through post-distribution monitoring (PDM) on several aspects related to UNHCR’s CBIs including efficiency of cash delivery, access to markets, use of cash, unmet needs and coping strategies. Findings are expected to help UNHCR to improve the way the CBIs are designed and delivered.
This PDM covers two CBI programmes delivered by UNHCR in in the Eastern Region of Afghanistan in 2020, cash for protection and cash for shelter. Cash for protection was designed to support households with specific protection profiles to cope with the socio-economic consequences of COVID-19 and avoid harmful coping strategies. Cash for shelter was designed to support vulnerable households with conditional cash grants to construct safe and dignified shelter. While the programmes were carried out countrywide, supporting 13,792 households with cash for protection and 506 with cash for shelter, the Eastern Region supported the largest number of CBI recipients. As such, this region was prioritized for the PDM data collection which took place in Kunar, Laghman, Nangarhar, and Nuristan provinces.

This report covers the finding of the post-execution monitoring of 464 houses repaired by UNHCR in the frame of the 2018 shelter programme in the east of Ukraine.
The monitoring visits took place between September 2018 and March 2019, and were performed by teams composed of at least two members, one from the shelter team and one from the protection unit.
The monitored sample covers repairs completed in the geographic areas of all five UNHCR offices in eastern Ukraine (Mariupol, Sloviansk and Sievierodonetsk in government-controlled areas [GCA]; Donetsk and Luhansk in non-government-controlled areas [NGCA]).
The 464 monitoring visits on which this report is based represent 34% of the 1,374 repairs conducted in 2018 by UNHCR: a significant improvement compared to the 13% covered in the 2017 shelter monitoring exercise (232 visits out of 1,732 repairs conducted).
The monitoring of 2018 shelter activities confirms the main findings of the 2017 campaign: the repair of houses damaged by conflict-related incidents is still highly appreciated by recipients (95% of respondents, compared to 97% in 2017) and is executed with good quality (99% of cases, compared to 100% in 2017).
This report covers the finding of the post-execution monitoring of 433 houses repaired by UNHCR in the frame of the 2019 shelter programme in the east of Ukraine.
The monitoring visits took place between October 2019 and April 2020, and were performed by teams composed of at least two members, one from the shelter team and one from the protection unit. The form has two main sections, one focusing on technical aspects, the other on protection.
A few changes to the questionnaire were introduced in 2019, mainly to capture the feedback on cash based interventions; all changes, though, comply with the principle of preserving the comparability of data and findings across the implementation years. The monitored sample covers repairs completed in the geographic areas of four of the five UNHCR offices in eastern Ukraine: Mariupol, Sloviansk and Sievierodonetsk in governmentcontrolled areas (GCA); and Donetsk in non government-controlled areas (NGCA). Last year, Luhansk office in NGCA was not allowed to implement field visits and therefore could not contribute to the 20192 monitoring exercise.
The 433 monitoring visits on which this report is based represent 33 per cent of the 1,316 repairs conducted in 2019 by UNHCR, in line with last year’s already satisfactory achievement.
The IMU of the ACU, issues its fourth edition of the “Winter Needs in the Northern Syrian Camps” report, addressing 680 camps in the governorates of Aleppo and Idleb. The report brings to light the most important items that IDPs are in need for in terms of type and quantities, according to international standards for humanitarian response. It furthermore, brings emphasis to bear on the course of action that IDPs, as well as the camp management teams, should follow to drive down the effects of natural disasters that may put their lives at risk. Noting that the number of families that ACU enumerators were able to assess their needs reached 156,873 families, making up an overall individual number of 872,082 IDPs
The ninth round of Iraq's Multi-Cluster Needs Assessment (MCNA) conducted by REACH Initiative in close coordination with the Assessment Working Group (AWG), UN OCHA, Inter-Cluster Coordination Group (ICCG) and partners for data collection, seeks to understand multi-sectoral priority needs of conflict-affected populations living across the whole of Iraq. Between June 09 and August 16, 2021, a total of 11,645 in-camp IDP, out of camp IDP, and returnee households were assessed in a total of 64 districts in Iraq (including 27 formal camps).
REACH initiative, in coordination with the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster, conducted the XV round of Camp Profiling and the eighth round of Movement Intentions in IDP camps. Both assessments seek to understand the multi-sectoral needs of IDPs in camps, their movement intentions in the short and long term, and the barriers that IDPs face to return to their area of origin (AoO).
The assistance dataset includes the assistance history of the households that have taken the 2020 Vulnerability Assessment of Syrian Refugees (VASyR) assessment. The dataset is extracted from Refugees Assistance Information System (RAIS) which is an online Inter-Agency web application used by Lebanon Crisis Response Plan (LCRP) partners in Lebanon for tracking and reporting assistance provided to persons of concern to UNHCR.
The enrolment of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) was conduced in Maradi, Tahoua and Tillaberi in Niger by the Government through the National Committee for Data Collection and Information Management on Internally Displaced Persons in Niger established in October 2019. The Committee acts in these regions with the technical support of UNHCR. Its aim is to ensure an adequate protection response for IDPs following the attacks perpetrated by non-state armed groups in their villages. The enrolment helped to identify the socio-economic profile of IDPs and their needs, detect potential cases of statelessness, and ease the aid of the humanitarian community. The enrolment data contain information on heads of households, family composition, specific needs of household members, documents held by family members, reasons for displacement, places of origin and current location. In Tillaberi, 4,859 households were registered between May and October 2020.
