    Abstract

    This panel survey data covers two waves of interviews (baseline in 2020 and endline in 2023) with refugee participants in livelihoods cooperatives in Ethiopia's Somali Region. The cooperatives focused on crop agriculture, meat-selling, solar energy, and prosopis/briquettes. The surveys gathered demographic, socioeconomic, and health data on the individual participants. Baseline had 515 respondents, endline had 394, with 77% overlap between the two waves. The data is not representative of the general refugee population in the region. It provides insights into livelihoods programming for refugees in Ethiopia.
