Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
The UNHCR Results Monitoring Survey (RMS) is a household-level survey on persons of concern (PoC) to UNHCR directly or indirectly assisted by UNHCR, including refugees and asylum seekers, internally displaced persons, returnees, stateless and others of concern. 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 South Africa between April and June 2022. The population of interest included all PoCs to UNHCR in South Africa, and the sample frame was taken from UNHCR's registration datasase (ProGres). Data subjects were intereviewed over the phone. This dataset is the anonymous version of the original data.

Sampling
UNHCR's registration database (ProGres) was used as a sample frame to identify households of interest. Households were stratified by registration group and sex of head of household. A total of 1,050 households were contacted for an interview via telephone. Enumerators were able to secure 388 interviews, of which 385 were completed. Non-response was due to three main factors: inability to reach the respondent with the phone number provided (about 50%), no answer (about 30%) and households reached were not persons of concern to UNHCR, most likely the wrong number (about 6%).
Due to the response rate, weights needed to be introduced ex-post. Weights were calculated at the household-level according to two variables: country of origin and sex of the head of household. UNHCR’s registration database (ProGres) was used to provide the sample frame size (N). Normalized weights were produced using the following formula: weight = N/sum(N) / n/sum(n). The weight variable is hh_weight.
