    Abstract

    The 2024 Socio-Economic Insights Survey (SEIS) in Moldova, conducted by UNHCR in partnership with REACH, provides essential data on the needs of refugees and third-country nationals displaced from Ukraine. Building on the 2023 Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessment (MSNA), this household-level survey collected insights on protection, food security, education, livelihoods, health, and socio-economic inclusion to inform humanitarian planning and decision-making. A total of 622 in-person interviews were conducted across Moldova (excluding the Transnistrian region) between June 3 and July 12, 2024. The survey used purposive and respondent-assisted sampling to capture household and individual-level data on living conditions, access to services, and integration challenges. This anonymized dataset supports stakeholders in addressing the needs of displaced populations and promoting integration and access to essential services in Moldova.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    The sample was selected using non-probability sampling, combining purposive sampling (to target key refugee and third-country national populations) and respondent-assisted sampling (to reach households within these groups). The sampling frame included Ukrainian refugees and third-country nationals displaced from Ukraine across Moldova, excluding the Transnistrian region. 

      Since this is a non-probability sample, findings are indicative of trends among surveyed populations but are not statistically representative of all refugees and displaced persons in Moldova.

    Data Collection Notes

    Data collection for the Moldova Socio-Economic Insights Survey 2024 was conducted through face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire, with a focus on refugees and third-country nationals displaced from Ukraine. The survey employed purposive and respondent-assisted sampling to ensure representation across Moldova, excluding the Transnistrian region. Enumerators underwent comprehensive training to ensure quality data collection, and quality assurance measures included random spot checks and ongoing communication with enumerators. Data cleaning excluded test interviews, non-consenting respondents, and cases with contradictory or incomplete information to maintain accuracy and reliability.
