Abstract

The UNHCR Results Monitoring Survey (RMS) is a household-level survey covering people who are directly or indirectly assisted by UNHCR. In Nepal the survey covered refugees and Asylum Seekers. The objective of the survey is to monitor impact and outcome level indicators on education, healthcare, livelihoods, protection concerns, shelter and social protection. 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 Nepali context and programme objectives by removing, e.g. questions related to camp settings. Additionally, an extended module socio-economic markers was included. The data includes indicators collected at both the household and individual (household-member) level. The survey covered 361 household amounting to 1292 individuals.
