The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has developed a monitoring system in 26 food crisis countries to better understand the impacts of various shocks on agricultural livelihoods, food security and local value chains.
The Monitoring System consists of primary data collected from households and key informants (including agricultural inputs vendors, food traders and agriculture extension officers) on a periodic basis (more or less every four months, depending on seasonality). Data are collected through Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI) and in-person surveys where the circumstances allow for field access.
As the system is developed, the information collected and analyzed is being used to guide strategic decisions, to design programmes and to inform analytical processes such as the Integrated Phase Classification (IPC) and the Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO).
At the core of the system is a standardized household questionnaire administered to around 100,000 households per year across the 26 countries. Standardization permits comparisons across time and space, considerably enhancing the utility of the data for decision makers. At minimum the household data are representative at Admin 1 level (e.g. province, or region) and in some cases at Admin 2 level (e.g. district).
Core funding for this initiative comes from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The initiative also benefits from support from the European Union and FAO’s Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation (SFERA). The contents of the work are the sole responsibility of FAO and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID, the United States Government or the European Union.
In each aggregated field, the values indicate the frequencies of the different responses, expressed as a weighted percentage of the total sample.
The present datasets represents aggregated data referring to household interviews performed after December 2022. At every new survey data release, after cleaning and validation phases, aggregated data is appended to the present dataset.

The UNHCR Results Monitoring Survey (RMS) is a household-level survey covering people who are directly or indirectly assisted by UNHCR. In Nepal the survey covered refugees and Asylum Seekers. The objective of the survey is to monitor impact and outcome level indicators on education, healthcare, livelihoods, protection concerns, shelter and social protection. 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 questionnaire was adapted to the Nepali context and programme objectives by removing, e.g. questions related to camp settings. Additionally, an extended module socio-economic markers was included. The data includes indicators collected at both the household and individual (household-member) level. The survey covered 361 household amounting to 1292 individuals.

The UNHCR Results Monitoring Survey (RMS) is a household-level survey covering people who are directly or indirectly assisted by UNHCR. In Myanmar, respondents included internally displaced persons, returnees, stateless and host community. 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 questionnaire was adapted to the Myanmar context and programme objectives by including, e.g. the IDP module. Questions related to Accoutability to Affected Populations (AAP) and service provision were added. A mixed methodology of remote and in-person interview was applied to allow for inclusion of respondents in areas not accessible to data collectors, e.g. rakhine state. The data includes indicators collected at both the household and individual (household-member) level. The survey covered 4444 household amounting to 19009 individuals.

With the goal of supporting the Inter-Agency Regional Response Plan (RRP) and to enable planning among key humanitarian actors through the provision of updated information on multi-sectoral needs and priorities of refugees from Ukraine, the Regional Refugee Coordination Forum (RCF) agreed on a regional approach to the implementation of inter-agency multi-sectoral needs assessments (MSNA) in 2023. The assessments were conducted around summer of 2023, using a similar methodological approach and a harmonized questionnaire aiming at having comparable results to better inform and prioritize the humanitarian response. This comprehensive regional dataset was compiled by consolidating MSNA datasets from seven countries: Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Czechia, Moldova, Romania, and Bulgaria.
The situation inside Afghanistan deteriorated in 2021 and had significant consequences for the most vulnerable among the population. Iran and Pakistan, which are neighbours of Afghanistan, also host some 8.2 million registered Afghan refugees and other Afghans with different statuses. The majority of registered refugees fled Afghanistan over the years, including from as early as 1979.
UNHCR has expanded its border monitoring in Afghanistan to include unofficial crossing points to understand flows and frequency on Afghans departing via these points, assess to territory and “the right to seek asylum” as well as the barriers which hinder the movement of people who may need international protection. Interviews at unofficial crossing points were held with key informants such as local residents in border areas, drivers, hotel and restaurant owners or border officials in over 50 locations, through Kunduz, Jalalabad, Herat, Gardez, Mazar and Kandahar field locations. Key informants gave estimates of weekly flows and their composition. This monitoring activity found that the majority of movements to Iran (81%) happen via unofficial border crossings, while less than 18% of movements to Pakistan happen via unofficial border crossings.

Since December 2020, the Government of Bangladesh has led the establishment of refugee facilities on the island of Bhasan Char in the Bay of Bengal and the delivery of relief services in partnership with civil society organizations. Currently nearly 31,000 Rohingya refugees live on Bhasan Char. With the continuous increase of the population on the island through relocations of Rohingya refugees from Cox’s Bazar, it has become imperative to have a more comprehensive view of the needs and capacities of the population on the island. Against this background, a joint multi-sector assessment was implemented by REACH under UNHCR leadership with the following objectives:
(1) to inform an evidence-based prioritisation and resource allocation to effectively plan and design programming activities around;
(2) to harmonise data collection efforts to avoid duplication of efforts and resources, minimise intrusion into the lives of beneficiaries, and maintain compatibility, quality, and comparability;
(3) to provide the basis for a joint multi-stakeholder needs analysis and interpretation process.
The surevey found that almost that two thirds of households (67%) reportedly faced challenges in making ends meet financially. A further 88% faced some challenge in accessing health cares. About half of the respondents (46%) information needs were not met, which included information on how to find work (as reported by 17% of households as an information need) or how to get food assisstance(24%). Only 2 % said they struggled with information about access to protection services. 41% reported the WASH facilities were considered unsafe by women and girls in their household. A decrease from 75% in 2022.
The situation inside Afghanistan deteriorated in 2021 and had significant consequences for the most vulnerable among the population. Iran and Pakistan, which are neighbours of Afghanistan, also host some 8 million registered Afghan refugees and other Afghans with different statuses. The majority of registered refugees fled Afghanistan over the years, including from as early as 1979.
UNHCR border monitoring seeks to understand the triggers, intentions and reasons for Afghan cross-border movements, assess access to territory and “the right to seek asylum” as well as the barriers which hinder the movement of people who may need international protection. In 2023, more than 78,000 interviews were conducted with people across six crossing points into Pakistan, Iran and Central Asia from Afghanistan.

The situation inside Afghanistan deteriorated in 2021 and had significant consequences for the most vulnerable among the population. 1.6 million new arrivals have been witnessed in neighboring countries. While 5.3 million refugees returned to Afghanistan in phases since 2002, this trend has been declining in recent times. Since August 2021, UNHCR has maintained a non-return advisory for Afghanistan (reaffirmed February 2022), calling for a halt on forced returns of Afghan nationals.
To assess people’s ability to access the right to return and map potential protection risks and human rights violations faced by people, over 80,000 interviews were conducted with people across six crossing points from Pakistan, Iran and Central Asia into Afghanistan. Interviews were conducted through out 2023. Interviewees were selected to gain an understanding of triggers, intentions and reasons for Afghan cross-border movements and assess access to territory.

The UNHCR Livelihoods Monitoring Framework takes a program-based approach to monitoring, with the aim of tracking both outputs and the impact of UNHCR dollars spent on programming (either via partners or through direct implementation).
The process for developing the indicators began in 2015 with a review of existing tools and approaches. Consultations were held with governments, the private sector, field-based staff and civil society partners to devise a set of common, standardized measures rooted in global good practices.
Since 2017, a data collection (survey) has been rolled out globally, and the participating operations conducted a household surveys to a sample of beneficiaries of each livelihoods project implemented by UNHCR and its partner. The dataset consists of baseline and endline data from the same sample beneficiaries, in order to compare before and after the project implementation and thus to measure the impact.
