Multi-Sector Needs Assessment 2018

Data collection took place between 28 August and 16 September 2018. Interviews were conducted at household level with the head of case or, if unavailable, a case member who was 18 years of age or above. A ‘case’ refers to the smaller family unit that is registered under one UNHCR registration ID, whereas a household may be multiple cases living together in a shelter and sharing resources. Duplicate checks were incorporated before (removing multiple cases living in one household based on duplicate registration IDs), during (at the beginning of the interview through screener questions) and after data collection (during data cleaning by cross-checking registration IDs in the dataset), to avoid interviewing multiple cases living in the same household. The case member was asked questions to reflect the entire household, which included answering on behalf of any non-case members living in the same household (including any family members and others under the case member’s guardianship or responsibility, e.g. separated children, elderly or disabled relatives).
