The UNHCR Results Monitoring Survey (RMS) is a household-level survey conducted with people directly or indirectly assisted by UNHCR. In Malaysia refugee households were surveyed. 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 questionnaire was adapted to the Malaysia context and programme objectives and focused on e.g., health, education and employment. The data includes indicators collected at both the household and individual (household-member) level. The survey covered 1103 household containing 3027 individuals, and results are statistically representative.
