Abstract

A multi-sectoral needs assessment was conducted in Poland between July 13, 2023 and August 21, 2023, surveying 5,645 households comprising 13,421 individuals. The assessment aimed to capture the needs of refugees in Poland, understand their level of access to basic services, how their needs are currently being met, gaps in services, and priorities for the refugee response in the coming year. Key findings will inform the 2024 Regional Refugee Response Plan for Poland, providing critical data on priorities and funding requirements to support refugees. With 5,645 households surveyed across multiple sectors, the assessment provides a robust evidence base to shape a more effective, responsive refugee program in Poland.
