    Abstract
    The Integration between challenges and opportunities survey provides a comprehensive overview of the socio-economic conditions and integration challenges faced by beneficiaries of international and temporary protection in Italy. Conducted between October 2023 and February 2024 by Lattanzio KIBS and FIERI, the study collected quantitative data from 1,231 respondents across 16 provinces using a non-probability sampling approach, complemented by qualitative insights from key informant interviews and focus group discussions (not included in this dataset). The questionnaire covered a wide range of topics, including demographics, housing, education, employment, income, social participation, discrimination, and access to services. The dataset supports evidence-based policy and programming aimed at enhancing protection, socio-economic inclusion, and local integration of refugees and other protection beneficiaries in Italy.
