Abstract

The Zimbabwe: Results Monitoring Survey (RMS) 2023 is a household-level survey conducted by UNHCR to monitor key impact and outcome indicators among refugees, asylum seekers, and other forcibly displaced persons in Zimbabwe. The survey was implemented in two key locations: Harare and the Tongogara Refugee Settlement in Chipinge, using computer-assisted personal interviews (CAPI) to collect data on mobility, housing, basic needs, disability, and safety. A total of 226 households were surveyed in Harare with a 100% response rate, while 524 out of 600 sampled households responded in Tongogara, achieving an 87% response rate.The data, collected between October and November 2023, provides essential insights into the living conditions and challenges faced by the forcibly displaced population. Rigorous data processing and validation ensured high quality, making this dataset a valuable resource for guiding UNHCR’s operations, informing policy decisions, and supporting evidence-based programming in Zimbabwe.
