    To ensure the centrality of refugees’ voices in discussions about their future, as well as to inform evidence-based inter-agency responses in support of host Governments, UNHCR is leading the regular implementation of intentions surveys with refugees from Ukraine, collecting primary data on their profiles, their current situation and intentions, and the factors influencing their decision-making. The first, second and third regional intentions surveys were completed and the reports published in July 2022 (https://data.unhcr.org/en/documents/details/94176), September 2022 (https://data.unhcr.org/en/documents/details/95767) and February 2023 (https://data.unhcr.org/en/documents/details/99072). This data was collected during the fourth round, conducted between April and May 2023. The survey covered refugees hosted in countries in Europe. A mixed methodological approach was used, combining two data collection modes. Around 3,850 refugee households were interviewed either through a phone-based survey, web-based survey or face-to-face interview. The data include a mix of Fresh refugee households (i.e. not included in previous rounds) and Panel households (i.e. those included in at least one of the previous rounds). All surveys used a harmonized questionnaire. This data is an anonymous version of the original data collected and used for the primary analysis.

    UNHCR uses cash based interventions (CBIs) as a preferred modality for delivering assistance, offering greater dignity and choice in line with UNHCR’s core protection mandate. In order to ensure that the cash assistance provided meets the intended objectives and that desired outcomes are achieved, UNHCR conducts regular post-distribution and outcome monitoring (PDM) with a sample of cash recipients residing across the country. This PDM follows the multi-purpose cash assistance (MPCA) programme in Poland in response to the arrival of refugees from Ukraine. The programme was carried out in coordination with Lutheran World Federation (LWF) and the Polish Centre for International Aid (PCPM). The objective of the programme was to address the basic needs of the refugees, relieve the financial burden of their households and put them on a path to sustainable solutions. The programme was initially aimed at all refugees that left Ukraine after 24 February 2022, with 126,304 refugee households (267,746 individuals) benefiting from cash assistance between 11 March and 26 July 2022. New criteria was introduced on 27 July, seeking to target the most vulnerable refugees. 9,945 households (22,2923 individuals) benefited from cash assistance between 27 July and 9 September 2022 according to the new criteria. A PDM assessment was carried out between August and September of 2022. It consisted of a structured household-level survey using a tool developed by UNHCR. The survey was administered via phone interviews to a representative sample of 1,260 beneficiary households who received CBIs, and was broken up into two strata: Stratum 1: Households enrolled in the MPCA programme between 11 March and 27 July (n = 637 HHs) Stratum 2: Households enrolled in the MPCA programme (with new criteria) between 27 July and 9 September (n = 623 HHs) Data collection for the 1st stratum took place 22 August and 8 September and for the 2nd stratum between 9 September and 4 October. Data was collected in Ukrainian and Russian by female enumerators of the REACH Initiative in Poland. Data was cleaned and analysed by REACH Initiative Poland, according to the Impact Initiative’s standards. This is an anonymous version of the original data collected and used for the primary analysis.

    More than 900,000 Rohingya refugees are living in extremely congested camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Since their arrival in Bangladesh, they have been dependent on humanitarian aid for their survival, including food, core-relief items, shelter and other basic services. Having provided households with initial shelter kits upon arrival, UNHCR is now supporting families providing the necessary materials to maintain their shelters and cover basic needs. From January to August 2022, UNHCR distributed Upgraded Shelter Kits (USKs) consisting of muli-type2 and borak-type* bamboo poles, rope, plastic tarpaulins, sandbags and toolkits. UNHCR conducts Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) to collect refugees’ feedback on the quality, sufficiency, utilization, and effectiveness of the assistance we provide, which helps improve and adapt the services as per the refugees’ needs. UNHCR undertook a PDM to monitor this programme in Bangladesh in month YYYY. The PDM involved a mixed-methodology incorporating both qualitative and quantitative methods. This data is the anonymous version of the qualitative data collected using a structured household-level questionnaire.

In order to ensure that the cash assistance provided meets the intended objectives and that desired outcomes are achieved, UNHCR conducts regular post-distribution and outcome monitoring (PDM) with a sample of cash recipients residing across the country. This PDM follows the winter cash assistance programme in Poland in response to the arrival of refugees from Ukraine. The objective of the programme was to support vulnerable refugee families and individuals in addressing their basic needs, mitigating the impact of the winter price increases in rent, utilities and clothing. The programme was aimed at households who benefited from the multi-purpose cash assistance in 2022 and who had at least two specific needs identified within the household, with 3,437 households / 8,629 refugees benefiting. A PDM assessment was carried out in March 2023. It consisted of a structured household-level survey using a tool developed by UNHCR, and data was collected, cleaned and analysed by UNHCR. The survey was administered via phone interviews to a representative sample of 352 beneficiary households. The sample frame included 1,088 beneficiary households that were not included in phone interviews for previous PDMs for the multi-purpose cash assistance programme. This is an anonymous version of the original data collected and used for the primary analysis.

    The UNHCR Results Monitoring Survey (RMS) is a household-level survey covering people who are directly or indirectly assisted by UNHCR, including refugees and asylum seekers, internally displaced persons, returnees, stateless and others of concern. Additionally, in the Republic of Korea the survey covered rejected Asylum-Seekers. 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 Korean context and programme objectives by removing, e.g. questions related to camp settings. Questions related to the rejected asylum seekers in need of protection and family members abroad were added. The data includes indicators collected at both the household and individual (household-member) level. The survey covered 424 household amounting to 950 individuals.

    Since the end of the armed conflict in Sri Lanka in May 2009, increasing numbers of Sri Lankans have voluntarily repatriated. Responsive to this demand, UNHCR Sri Lanka in cooperation with UNHCR offices in countries of asylum, in particular in Tamil Nadu, India, continues to facilitate the voluntary repatriation of Sri Lankan refugees. Protection monitoring data of these returnees was collected to allow UNHCR to intervene as appropriate - and improve the protection environment. This data also assist UNHCR staff in countries of asylum to provide better counsel on the challenges and potential risks linked to voluntary repatriation. The survey covers refugee returnees who returned in 2019 and 2020, and was collected by protection and field teams in Jaffna and Colombo. Fieldwork was undertaken in 2021 and 2022, after the easing of the covid-19 pandemic in Sri Lanka.

    UNHCR uses Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) as a mechanism to collect refugees’ feedback on the quality, sufficiency, utilization and effectiveness of the assistance items they receive. The underlying principle behind the process is linked to accountability, as well as a commitment to improve the quality and relevance of support provided, and related services. UNHCR increasingly uses cash based interventions (CBIs) as a preferred modality for delivering assistance, offering greater dignity and choice to displaced people in line with UNHCR’s core protection mandate. In order to ensure that the cash assistance provided meets the intended objectives and that desired outcomes are achieved, UNHCR conducts regular post-distribution and outcome monitoring with a sample of refugee recipients residing across the country. This PDM covers people who receives CBI in Indonesia in early 2022. Feedback on the modality was collected from 110 households in August of 2022.

    The aim of the survey was to assess displaced people's access to protection support during the pandemic and absence of in-person services. To do so, the survey assessed awareness and usage of major communication and information channels between refugee communities and UNHCR, identified unaddressed protection issues amongst respondents, and asked about awareness and use of alternative sources for support. The survey targeted registered refugees in the greater Jakarta area as in-person services were suspended for significantly longer here than elsewhere in the country. 426 responses were gathered using IVR (Interactive Voice Response). Only refugees with an active phone number registered were included in the sample. The results paint a picture of these three topics separately as well as identify hidden caseloads and there existing support opportunities.

    The financial behaviours survey aim to collect general information on financial and digital literacy of refugees and asylum-seekers in Malaysia for the purpose of understanding their familiarity with and interest in financial and digital services. The survey was administered via phone calls, where respondents were identified through a random sampling of individuals aged 18-59 registered with UNHCR, and have updated their contact numbers with UNHCR in the last 6 months. A majority of respondents are able to confidently make calculations and transact with money without errors. As a result of regulatory challenges, only 35.8% of respondents owned SIM cards registered under their own names. 89% of respondents own a smartphone, with the most frequently used mobile apps being Whatsapp, followed by Facebook, Youtube, imo and TikTok. While respondents seem to understand the value of financial services, only 11% actually own an account at a financial institutions due to regulatory barriers. A majority of respondents also rely on informal services for sending or receiving money either locally (within Malaysia) or internationally. In addition to this, 84.9% reported not having any savings whatsoever, which indicates respondents' limited resilience capacities to withstand sudden shocks or stressors.

    The UNHCR Standardized Expanded Nutrition Surveys (SENS) provide regular nutrition data that plays a key role in delivering effective and timely interventions to ensure good nutritional outcomes among populations affected by forced displacement. UNHCR in collaboration with its partners, coordinated a SENS survey in Maban County between November 16th and December 4th in 2019. Maban County is in Upper Nile State in the North East of the Republic of South Sudan (RoSS). The refugee caseload is composed of Sudanese fleeing from the conflict in Blue Nile State in Sudan, residing in four refugee camps; Doro, Yusuf Batil, Gendrassa and Kaya. The overall aim of the survey was to assess the nutrition situation among the refugee population and to monitor ongoing programme interventions. In each of the camps a cross- sectional survey was conducted using the UNHCR Standardised Expanded Nutrition Survey (SENS) version 2, 2013 guidelines http://sens.unhcr.org/ and the Standardised Monitoring and Assessments of Relief and Transitions (SMART) guidelines https://smartmethodology.org/ . Systematic random sampling was used to identify the survey respondents. Three population groups; children 6-59 months, infants 0-5 months and women of reproductive age 15-49 years were included in the survey. Household level indicators on food security were measured in households whether they included the target population groups or not. A total of six survey teams composed of four members each (one team leader, one haemoglobin measurer, one anthropometric measurer and one anthropometric/haemoglobin measurement assistant carried out data collection in Doro camp. Data collection in the rest of the three camps (Gendrassa, Kaya and Yusuf Batil) was carried out by ten teams of four members. Two standardised trainings lasting five and four days respectively were conducted for Doro and the rest of the camps. The training included a standardisation and pilot test. The survey teams were supported by a team of 5 supervisors and 2 coordinators who roved between the teams during the data collection. Mobile phone questionnaires using Open Data Kit (ODK) android software for all the modules was used for data collection. Data validation was carried out daily by the survey coordinator/supervisors which allowed for daily feedback to the survey teams. Data analysis is currently on-going using ENA for SMART July 9th, 2015 version for anthropometric indices and Epi info version 7.2.3.1 for all other data.

    Health access and utilization survey (HAUS) is a cross-sectional, household telephone survey designed by the Public Health Section as a tool to determine refugees’ access to, utilization of, and coverage of key health services across different levels of health facilities as well as to identify critical factors and challenges faced by refugees that may affect health access in a timely manner. UNHCR Malaysia conducted the survey in December 2022 with the help of 23 enumerators and successfully collected data from 718 households comprising of 1,760 individuals. Informed consent was obtained prior to the start of the interview. The average age of the respondents was 34 years (SD = 9 years). Majority of the households were male-headed (87%), married (55%), currently in some form of employment (83%) and originated from Myanmar (74%). Among the head of households, knowledge of available health services were lacking with a third of them (30.8%) unaware of subsidized care at government health facilities for UNHCR document holders while more than half of them were unaware of the availability of hospitalization assistance as provided by IMARET. Nevertheless, most households were able to access health care when needed (93%) although affordability remained a major barrier. The average amount paid by households for primary health services was MYR164 while hospitalization care could cost as much as MYR5,197 on average. In terms of childhood vaccination, 78% children under 5 were able to receive measles or MMR vaccination mainly from government health facilities. However, it is worth noting that the finding did not indicate whether the children had completed the required doses for MMR. Access to reproductive health services remain challenging with slightly more than half of pregnant women faced difficulties accessing antenatal care due to financial barrier. The average cost of delivery care paid by the respondents was MYR3,600. In terms of family planning, only 45.1% received family planning counselling or services post-delivery. Non-communicable diseases were emerging as another health concern affecting as many as 10% of the total households. The top three most common NCD were hypertension, diabetes mellitus and musculo-skeletal diseases. As a result of inclusive national COVID-19 vaccination programme, refugees benefitted from the initiative with 92.6% completing the required doses and 74.6% receiving a booster dose. In summary, findings from this survey indicated the need to strengthen health awareness and information dissemination among refugees while sustainable health financing will help to ease the financial barrier faced by most refugees in need of health services. Advocacy for inclusion in the national health programming in key areas namely communicable and non-communicable diseases, childhood immunization, safe motherhood and family planning will help to promote better health outcomes for refugees.

    Eleven years into the Syrian conflict, Lebanon ranks the highest in per capita population of refugees in the world, with over 1.5 million displaced Syrians within its borders. Specifically, the Syrian refugee population in Lebanon remains one of the largest concentrations of refugees per capita in the world. A series of overlapping political, economic and social crises in Lebanon has underpinned the vastly growing level of need across populations in the country. On the macroeconomic front, at the beginning of July 2022 the World Bank downgraded Lebanon to a lower-middle-income country for the first time in 27 years, after Lebanon’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) had decreased from $55 billion in 2018 to $20.5 billion in 2021.1 The Lebanese lira has continued to lose value in 2022, reaching exchange rates close to LBP 43,000 to the United States dollar in the informal market in December 2022. The country depends heavily on imports, paid for in dollars; fluctuations in exchange rates thus have significant impacts on the prices of goods and services in the country. Inflation is still on the rise: between October 2019 and the time of data collection in June 2022 the Consumer Price Index, which measures the average change of prices over time, rose by 1,066 per cent. In addition to these factors, the COVID-19 and more recent Cholera outbreaks have stretched the country’s health sector and resources to breaking point. As a result, Lebanon’s financial and humanitarian situation ranks among the most severe crises in the world today. The 2022 Vulnerability Assessment of Syrian Refugees in Lebanon (VASyR) is the tenth annual representative survey assessing the situation of Syrian refugees in Lebanon, with the aim to identify changes and trends in their vulnerabilities. Since its first round of data collection and assessment, the VASyR has become an essential tool for planning, shaping decision-making and the design of needs-based programmes. The results of the VASyR are used by the 10 sectors in partnership under the Lebanon Crisis Response Plan (LCRP), in order to understand the situational changes in Lebanon and advocate for funding. The VASyR has also been used to build targeting models, for instance to predict socioeconomic vulnerability and allocate assistance accordingly. Furthermore, the results of the VASyR reveal the geographical differences in vulnerabilities at governorate and district levels, which then feed into the situation analysis.

    MPACT Initiatives (IMPACT), in collaboration with UNHCR, conducted a fifth round of the Multi-sector Needs Assessment (MSNA V) of refugees in Iraq who live in and out of formal camps, to provide a household-level analysis of sector-specific needs and vulnerabilities. This assessment and its findings aim to support the prioritization of decisions across and within different sectors and is to be used as a basis for developing the 3RP Regional Refugee & Resilience Plan 2021-2022. Further, for humanitarian actors and other partners to appropriately design their assistance and respond to COVID-19, information on the impact of the virus on refugees’ lives and livelihoods is necessary. By conducting this research, IMPACT, on behalf of UNHCR, sought to fill the information gap on multi-sectoral needs, movement intentions and the impact of COVID-19 on refugees’ lives, thus assisting humanitarian actors in organizing their response to protracted displacement of Syrian, Iranian, Turkish and Palestinian refugees across Iraq in the time of COVID-19.

    The Multi Cluster Needs Assessment (MCNA) is an iterative cluster-led program and the primary multi-cluster nationwide needs assessment in Iraq. It provides a quantitative evidence base for humanitarian decision makers with the purpose of informing planning, sector prioritization and target group identification. The MCNA seeks to understand multi-sectoral household conditions and priority needs of conflict-affected populations living in Iraq and to provide insights that allow aid sectors to understand geographic differences in humanitarian conditions and needs, as well as to identify gaps and opportunities for the provision of humanitarian assistance across Iraq. The MCNA allows for in-depth nation-wide analysis, enabling the identification of mid to long-term trends and shifting needs over time. The findings from this assessment provide a comprehensive overview of multi-sectoral household needs and priorities to inform the humanitarian response and strategic programming in Iraq.

    IMPACT, in collaboration with UNHCR, conducted a sixth round of the Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA) of refugees in Iraq who live in and out of formal camps. The aim of the MSNA 2021 is to provide a household-level analysis of sector-specific needs and vulnerabilities of Syrian refugee and host community households. The MSNA 2021 sampling consists of samples of Syrian refugees in KR-I (where most Syrian refugees live), but also Anbar, Baghdad, Kirkuk and Ninewa (referred to as Centre-South, where most Syrian refugee households outside of KRI live), as well as host community households in KR-I given the high concentration of Syrian refugees in KR-I. Host communities were sampled to offer comparison and to include host communities in 3RP planning on the basis of identified needs and vulnerabilities by the MSNA. This assessment and its findings aim to support the prioritization across and within different sectors and is to be used as a basis for developing the 3RP Regional Refugee & Resilience Plan (3RP) 2022 This research sought to respond to the information need on multi-sectoral needs, movement intentions and the impact of COVID-19 on refugees’ lives, thus assisting humanitarian actors in organizing their response to protracted displacement of Syrian refugees across Iraq in the time of COVID-19.
