Abstract

Following an outbreak of violence on 25 August 2017 in Rakhine State, Myanmar, a new massive influx of Rohingya refugees to Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh started in late August 2017. Most of the Rohingya refugees settled in Ukhia and Teknaf Upazilas of Cox’s Bazar, a district bordering Myanmar identified as the main entry area for border crossings.

This dataset presents the result of the NPM Round 11 exercise, which collected information related to the Rohingya refugee population distribution and needs during the months of June and July 2018.

• The data collection for NPM baseline survey was conducted between 2 and 14 June 2018: it provides an update about the population distribution and movements.
• The data collection for NPM Site Assessment survey was conducted between 1 and 22 July 2018: in addition to an update about the population figures, this includeds a multi-sectoral needs assessment.

The full maps and GIS packages by camp produced based on NPM Baseline and Site Assessment 11 are available at the links below:

Abstract

The Uganda 2018 Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis (RIMA) measures the food security and resilience of refugees and host communities in South-West Uganda. The survey was administered in March 2018 in two districts of Southwest Uganda. The data were collected through surveys of both refugee and host community households, coordinated by the Resilience Measurement Unit (RMU) of the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM). The survey covered a total of 705 households from refugee and host communities. It was conducted in the settlements of Kyaka II and Rwamwanja (housing refugees from Burundi and the DRC, among other countries), as well as nearby host communities in the districts of Kyegegwa (for Kyaka II) and Kamwenge (for Rwamwanja).

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

The sample includes 705 households in total, of which 395 are refugee households (202 in the Kyegegwa District and 193 in the Kamwenge District) and 310 are part of the host communities (158 in the Kyegegwa District and 152 in the Kamwenge District). The sample size is determined based on power of design, which, in addition to taking into account the size of the population, uses the estimated impact we expect to see based on previous exercises, the standard deviations on the main indicator of interest (FAO-RCI), as well as measures to reduce possible estimation errors. The sample size has been calculated in order to be able to detect a minimum impact of 10 percent, with a 95 percent level of confidence. Other assumptions include (i) a null expectation in differences between the two populations (refugee/host) at the beginning, but possibly seeing one over time; (ii) a correlation between the resilience capacity between the two groups of 0.4 and 0.5; (iii) differences in the standard deviations between the two groups, i.e. more homogeneous characteristics amongst the host communities than the refugees; and (iv) intra-cluster correlation. This estimation was done at both settlement and district level clusters. The 20 percent oversampling was added at settlement level, to account for the expected fluid nature of refugee status. The sample is representative at district and settlement levels.

Mode of data collection

Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]

Cleaning operations

The data were collected through computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) with digital tablets. The use of electronic devices reduces the duration of interviews, limits errors during the interview and data entry phases, and enables the collection of geographic information system (GIS) information at the household level. The data were transmitted daily through Kobo Toolbox, a suite of software tools for data collection in challenging environments, allowing for the use of remote data control protocols.
