Congo - Results Monitoring Survey (RMS) - 2023

The UNHCR Results Monitoring Surveys (RMS) is a household-level survey on forcibly displaced and stateless people. 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 the Republic of the Congo between January and February 2023. The population of interest included refugees and asylum-seekers. The sampling frame was UNHCR's registration database (proGres) of 4,041 households. The sampling approach was random selection with stratification by area, selecting 1,900 households and 1,473 households were interviews. The mode of data collection was Computer-Assisted Personal Interviews (CAPI).
