Abstract

In December 2023, UNHCR conducted a comprehensive Results Monitoring Survey (RMS) in Burkina Faso to assess the impact and outcomes of its assistance programs across various groups, including internally displaced persons (IDPs), host communities, refugees, and asylum seekers. This household-level survey collected data on education, healthcare, livelihoods, protection concerns, shelter, and water and sanitation. Utilizing a standard structured questionnaire, the RMS incorporated both household and individual-level indicators, ensuring statistically representative results. The sample included 663 refugees and asylum seekers, 1,343 IDPs, and 1,209 members of host communities. Data collection was performed using both Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) and Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) methods.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure

The sampling procedure for the Burkina Faso Results Monitoring Survey (RMS) - 2023 utilized different methods for each population group. For refugees and asylum seekers (RAS), a sample of 663 individuals was drawn from the UNHCR ProGresv4 registration database, which maintains up-to-date records of refugees and asylum seekers. For internally displaced persons (IDPs), a sample of 1,343 individuals was sourced from the “Conseil National de Secours d'Urgence et de Réhabilitation (CONASUR)” database, which registers IDPs at the village level. Lastly, the host community sample, consisting of 1,209 individuals, was selected using a two-stage cluster sampling technique based on enumeration areas from the 2019 population census. This approach ensured statistically representative coverage across all population groups, with data collected through both face-to-face (CAPI) and phone-based (CATI) interviews, depending on feasibility and access.
