The 2023 Multi-Sector Needs Assessment in Latvia presents findings from an interagency assessment conducted from September to October 2023 with Ukrainian persons of concern in Latvia. The assessment aimed to understand the profiles and priority needs of households to inform future response plans. Using convenience sampling, the assessment surveyed 557 households representing 969 individuals. Data was collected through in-person mobile interviews by UNHCR, the Lithuanian Red Cross, GPB. Key topics included health, protection, education, livelihoods, and mental health. As a key source on urgent needs, the 2023 assessment provides insights into the experiences of Ukrainian persons of concern who have fled to Latvia.
