Abstract
Starting in February 2022, an increasing number of refugees and third-country nationals (TCNs) entering Poland was registered as a result of the war in Ukraine. As of July 2022, over 4.3 million arrivals have been reported by the Polish authorities from Ukraine. To ensure that reponse actors have the necessary evidence base to effectively respond to the needs of Ukrainian refugee households in Poland, UNHCR and REACH carried out this joint Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessment (MSNA) targeting the population displaced due to the war in Ukraine and currently residing in Poland.
Due to lack of complete data on location and profile of refugees residing in Poland, PESEL registration data (the national identification number used in Poland) was used as a proxy indicator for sampling for non-probability quota sampling for refugees residing in the host community. The sample includea two distinct population groups: refugees living in host community, outside of the collective sites (CSs), and refugees residing in CSs. Refugees living outside of CSs cover a variety of accommodation types, including private accommodation, being hosted by family, friends, or by Polish families, among others. This dataset is the anonymous version of the original dataset.
