Abstract
In January 2021, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the World Food Programme (WFP) undertook an assessment of refugees from Burundi in the Lusenda and Mulongwe refugee camps in South Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The objective of the assessment was to assess the relevance of UNHCR and WFP's targeting in the context of Burundian refugees and possibly develop a targeting strategy harmonized as much as possible with other refugee populations in DRC.
A secondary objective was to introduce barcodes linked to unique identifiers used in registration. This vulnerability assessment was conducted through an exhaustive inventory of all refugee households living in the Lusenda and Mulongwe camps (South Kivu) as well as those living outside the camps and who went to the interview locations in the camps. The survey targeted Burundian refugee households assisted by WFP and UNHCR. The data collected during the survey are quantitative and were supplemented by qualitative data collected in February 2021 in the camps of Lusenda and Mulongwe through four focus group discussions per camp for a total of eight focus groups. All refugee households in Lusenda and Mulongwe camps as well as those living outside the camp, were interviewed with a core set of questions (see variable `TypeEnquete`, response `Ciblage`). In addition, 7% of households, randomly selected, participated in a more detailed interview (see variable `TypeEnquete`, response `Exhaustive`). A total of 7,873 households were selected.
This dataset represents an anonymous version of the original dataset. A sample of the original dataset was drawn as part of the anonymization. The sample was stratified by camp (`Lusenda` or `Muolongwe`) and the type of survey (`Ciblage` or `Exhaustive`). All respondents that were part of the `Exhaustive` survey were preserved, while a random sample of the respondents that were part of the `Ciblage` survey was taken. The variable `strata` defines which records correspond with which group, and `survey_weight` provide the final weights.
