The 2023 Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA) in Moldova evaluated the profiles and urgent needs of Ukrainian refugee households. Conducted as part of a regional Ukraine Situation response and used to inform the 2024 Regional Refugee Response Plan, the MSNA employed a non-probability sample of 850 respondents. The National Bureau of Statistics and Moldovan Parliament endorsed the approach, which was consulted through an inter-agency forum under the refugee coordination model. External partner Impact-REACH coordinated August-September 2023 data collection, training, and analysis. Respondents were selected based on refugee location data from the Moldovan Refugee Council, concentrated along the border with Ukraine. While not statistically representative, the MSNA provided indicative insights to guide the refugee response in Moldova.

Kyrgyzstan - Post-Distribution Monitoring of Cash-Based Intervention 2023

UNHCR - The UN Refugee Agency

Time Period of the Dataset [?]: September 08, 2023-October 02, 2023 ... More

This dataset updates: Never

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 Persons of Concern (PoCs) 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. The dataset consists of 22 records, indicating that it encompasses a relatively small sample size. Before using the dataset, it is essential for data users to be aware that the dataset's small size (22 records) may limit the generalizability of the findings. It is crucial to exercise caution when drawing broad conclusions or making policy recommendations based solely on this limited dataset.

Time Period of the Dataset [?]: November 12, 2023-December 07, 2023 ... More

This data is by request only

Humanitarian Situation Monitoring aims to collect and then triangulate information regarding service provision, sectoral needs, and vulnerabilities in Afghan communities, in order to then support geographical and sectoral prioritizations within the humanitarian response in Afghanistan, particularly in light of the rapidly evolving context in Afghanistan. The key-informant-based HSM methodology uses settlements as the unit of analysis, using a structured survey tool to interview key informants about the situation in their settlement. A sampling frame covering all 401 districts in Afghanistan was used, covering a minimum of 10% of total settlements in each district. To achieve geographical spread across each district, at least three key informant interviews (KIIs), in a number proportionate to the number of settlements, were conducted in each Basic Service Unit (BSU). To determine a BSU (defined as an economic/geographic service unit which relies on the same services, i.e. healthcare clinics and schools, and common public spaces, i.e. markets and roads), participatory mapping of settlements and services available was conducted prior to data collection. Any analysis conducted using the data in this file will generate statistically non-representative results, as the key informant methodology is indicative.

This dataset updates: As needed

The Humanitarian Situation Monitoring (HSM) is a quarterly community-level multi-sectoral needs assessment. It builds upon the previously implemented Hard-to-Reach assessment and expanded its geographic coverage to encompass the entire country in early 2022, due to the shift in context. HSM aims to collect and then triangulate information regarding service provision, sectoral needs, and vulnerabilities in Afghan communities regularly, in order to support geographical and sectoral prioritizations, particularly in light of the rapidly evolving context in Afghanistan. This round of HSM also seeks to complement the annual household-level 2023 Whole of Afghanistan Assessment, which assesses the multi-sectoral and sectoral needs of target populations in the Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP), by filling in information gaps and enhancing response capacity for district-level prioritization.

This dataset is part of the data series [?]: UNHCR - Afghanistan Bordering Monitoring

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 (84%) happen via unofficial border crossings, while less than 1% of movements to Pakistan happen via unofficial border crossings. This dataset is the anonymized version of the original data.

This dataset is part of the data series [?]: UNHCR - Afghanistan Bordering Monitoring

The situation inside Afghanistan deteriorated in 2022 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 with just over 6,500 people choosing to return in 2022. Since August 2022, UNHCR has maintained a non-return advisory for Afghanistan (reaffirmed February 2023), 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 55,000 interviews were conducted with people across six crossing points from Pakistan, Iran and Central Asia into Afghanistan. Interviews were conducted through out 2022. Interviewees were selected to gain an understanding of triggers, intentions and reasons for Afghan cross-border movements and assess access to territory. This dataset is the anonymized version of the original data.

UNHCR MCO Thailand conducted the Post Distribution Monitoring of Cash Based Intervention to consider how cash support was received and spent, perceived risks and problems associated with multi-purpose cash assistance, and the accountability of the programme to urban refugees. The PDM was conducted four months after the Royal Thai Government (RTG) announced in August 2022 that COVID-19 would be downgraded from a 'dangerous communicable disease' to a 'communicable disease under surveillance' as part of the country's plan to enter a normal endemic period. The improvement in the COVID-19 situation is considered to have contributed to a gradual return of employment and resumption of support from sources other than CBI for urban refugees.

This dataset is part of the data series [?]: UNHCR - Protection Monitoring

This comprehensive dataset provides invaluable insights into the evolving protection needs and integration challenges facing Ukrainian refugees several months into displacement in major host countries. It contains the results of 17,708 household interviews conducted by UNHCR and partners between October 2022 and February 15, 2023 across 5 key reception countries: Hungary, Republic of Moldova, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia. The interviews were carried out through rigorous random sampling at strategically selected locations including border crossings, reception and transit centers, collective sites, and assistance points in major cities. The questionnaire was redesigned for this second round to focus on pressing longer-term issues like healthcare, education, employment, housing, and local integration. While the sampling provides indicative findings only due to the non-probability approach, the dataset offers a rich evidence base to inform policy and programming. By comparing results over time with the first round (May-November 2022), researchers can analyze trends in refugees' situations, vulnerabilities, coping mechanisms, and unmet needs several months into displacement. The data collection was part of UNHCR's comprehensive protection profiling and monitoring exercise implemented since May 2022 to regularly gather insights into Ukrainian refugees' evolving profiles, risks, and needs. Detailed methodology documentation is provided to support proper interpretation and ethical utilization of the data.

Darien is Panama’s largest and poorest province. Bordering Colombia, the province hosts a 60-mile-deep jungle, the only breaking point of the Pan-American Highway, linking the continent from south to north. Darien is a transit location for thousands of refugees and migrants, most of them coming from Haiti, Venezuela, Cuba, and African and South Asian nations. According to official statistics of the Panamanian National Migration Service (SNM), from 2010 to 2020 some 120,000 people crossed through this area. In 2021 and 2022, Panama faced an unprecedented mixed movement crisis, with nearly 400,000 people making this perilous journey through the jungle. In 2022, a total of 248,284 people entered the country irregularly through Darien. Before they arrived at the Darien jungle, many of these refugees and migrants had previously crossed multiple countries often through unofficial border crossings, resulting in increased protection risks. These vulnerabilities were further exacerbated, during their journey through the jungle, by many risks and incidents which include, but are not limited to, thefts, physical and sexual attacks, murder, and extortion. Many of these refugees and migrants were also undocumented, limiting their access to basic services. Due to protection concerns, in July 2022, UNHCR started collecting monthly information on the characteristics, vulnerabilities, and protection needs of refugees and migrants entering Panama through the Darien jungle.
