    Abstract
    This survey is part of a broader regional data collection effort across RRP countries, with a harmonized design to identify the most pressing needs of Ukrainian refugees in sectors such as protection, health, education, accommodation, and livelihoods. The SEIS is the direct successor of the Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA) conducted in Hungary and across the region in the past two years (2022 Hungary MSNA, 2023 Hungary MSNA). The 2024 Hungary SEIS was funded by UNHCR's Representation for Central Europe and developed in the RCF with contributions from partners and working group members. Scale Research carried out the data collection between May and June 2024, surveying 795 households, representing 1,824 household members among the refugee population from Ukraine. The survey included multi-sectoral questions at both individual and household levels.

    Data Collection Notes

    Interviews were conducted in person with heads of households or other consenting adults, selected from localities based on availability and proximity to refugee communities. Sampling was non-probabilistic due to challenges in updating refugee residence data, which may not reflect recent relocations. Multi-sector questions at household and individual levels were included. Two microdata files are available: one for households, one for individuals.
