Both camp and urban refugee population were targeted using a different mechanism for each. The program included multiple objectives and among them, was an immediate focus and prioritization of the food security assessment: this led to programmatic recommendations on processes and criteria for targeting the most vulnerable and food insecure. Another crucial aim behind this exercise was a medium-term focus on multi-sectoral vulnerability in terms of food security, shelter, health, education, and specific needs: this also resulted in programmatic recommendations on processes and criteria for targeting the most vulnerable in each sector, including a cross-sectoral comparison.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2018-07-22","end":"2020-05-03","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Iraq","abbreviation":"IRQ"}],"analysis_unit":"Household","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"The scope includes:\n- household and individual demographics\n- basic needs\n- livelihoods\n- food security"},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"UNHCR","abbreviation":"UNHCR","affiliation":"UN"},{"name":"World Food Program","abbreviation":"WFP","affiliation":"UN"}],"coll_mode":["Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]"]}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"cit_req":"UNHCR, WFP (2020).
