Series Information
UNHCR conducts socio-economic assessments of persons-of-concern (i.e. refugees, asylum-seekers, IDPs, etc.) in a variety of countries in order to inform and improve its programming with the goal of promoting self-reliance. While these assessments are not fully standardized and are tailored to their specific country context, the quantitative surveys share strong similarities in their design and objectives, and are therefore considered a survey series for the purpose of microdata documentation/archiving.
Abstract
This assessment was carried out in Zimbabwe's Tongogara Refugee Camp. Its aim was to help UNHCR better understand refugees' and asylum seekers' living conditions and needs, which in turn will inform priority setting, programming and advocacy. The assessment was underpinned by the objectives of the "Graduation Approach" which targets support to the ultra-poor amongst the refugee population. A quantitative survey was conducted among 386 households during October 2017.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The survey's objective was to deliver representative data of all households living in Zimbabwe's Tongogara Refugee Camp. The total population of the camp at the time of the survey was estimated at around 3,200 households.
For this survey, a simple random sample design was applied (i.e. non-stratified, single-stage/non-clustered design). Households were randomly selected from UNHCR's registration database using a random number generator.
The total sample size was 386 refugee/asylum-seeker households.

Data Collection Notes
Data was collected through computer-assisted face-to-face interviewing (CommCare software). For the successful data collection, 10 (ten) enumerators were recruited and trained for three days. The training also encompassed pilot testing of the tool in the camp. This was then followed by 5 (five) days of mobile data collection using CommCare. Debriefing of the pilot process helped significantly.
