The UNHCR Results Monitoring Survey (RMS) is a household-level survey covering people who are directly or indirectly assisted by UNHCR. In the Philippines, respondents included forcibly displaced people, stateless people and those at risk of statelessness. 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 Philippines context and programme objectives by including, e.g. addtional questions on access to protection services, information and community leadership structures. A mixed methodology of remote and in-person interview was applied to allow for inclusion of respondents in areas not accessible to data collectors, e.g. Visayas and Mindanao. The data includes indicators collected at both the households and individual (household-member) level. The survey covered 640 household amounting to 2291 individuals.
