Republic of Moldova - Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA) - 2023

Kind of Data: Sample survey data [ssd]
Unit of Analysis: Households fleeing Ukraine: The assessment aimed to evaluate the profiles and urgent needs of these households as part of a regional exercise for the Ukraine Situation.
Sampling Procedure: The 2023 MSNA in Moldova employed a non-probability, purposive sampling method, targeting 850 Ukrainian refugee households. The sampling frame was constructed using data from the UNHCR Cash Programme beneficiary list, the REACH area monitoring exercise, and Moldovan population data from 2019. The assessment excluded settlements with fewer than 15 households. To ensure national coverage, Moldova was stratified into four regions: North, Centre, Chisinau, and South, excluding the Transnistrian region. The assessment employed a three-level hierarchical administrative framework, encompassing regions (admin. 0: North, Centre, Chisinau, South), raions (admin. 1: 35 raions), and settlements (admin. 2: around 900 settlements). This framework allowed differentiation between urban and rural areas and helped ensure more granular data collection. While the data is not statistically representative due to the non-probability sampling method, regional weighting was applied to adjust for distortions in proportionality and enhance the accuracy of aggregated results.
