Abstract

The Burundi: Results Monitoring Survey (RMS) - 2023 dataset provides comprehensive data on the conditions and changes in the lives of forcibly displaced and stateless persons in Burundi. This survey targeted asylum seekers, refugees, refugee returnees, and internally displaced persons (IDPs). The survey, which employed Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI), includes 811 household observations: 373 asylum seekers and refugees, 337 refugee returnees, and 101 IDPs. The RMS, developed by UNHCR and implemented by GNK Multiple Services, aims to assess the impact of multi-year strategies and interventions, serving as a vital tool for programming, advocacy, and strategic planning. The data collected is crucial for monitoring progress in health, nutrition, water, sanitation, protection, food security, education, and other key areas.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure

The sampling procedure for the Burundi: Result Monitoring Survey (RMS) - 2023 employed simple random sampling to ensure a representative sample of 811 households, slightly exceeding the pre-established target of 811 households. This included 380 refugee households, 315 returnee households, and 90 IDP households, covering both rural and urban areas of Burundi. The methodology remained consistent with the 2022 survey, with data collected from communes with high concentrations of returnees, refugee camps, and urban refugees in Bujumbura.
