Abstract

Since the outset of the war in Ukraine on 24 February 2022, over 32,070 displaced Ukrainians arrived in Montenegro by April 2022. In response, the Government of Montenegro activated Temporary Protection status for Ukrainian refugees. From April to May 2022, UNHCR conducted an exercise of 445 interviews conducted with 1,138 household members randomly sampled Ukrainian households under Temporary Protection. The survey was administered through face-to-face interviews in multiple languages. The survey gathered information on refugees' socioeconomic profiles, intentions to stay in Montenegro or move onward to other countries, sectoral needs, and awareness of available services. The data will inform the provision of protection services and humanitarian assistance for Ukrainian refugees by the Government of Montenegro, UNHCR, and partners. The intention survey data provides insights into the displaced Ukrainian population in Montenegro and their immediate and longer-term prospects, enabling evidence-based planning of the refugee response.
