The UNHCR Results Monitoring Survey (RMS) is a household-level survey covering people who are directly or indirectly assisted by UNHCR. In Myanmar, respondents included internally displaced persons, returnees, stateless and host community. The objective of the survey is to monitor impact and outcome level indicators on education, healthcare, livelihoods, protection concerns, shelter, and water and sanitation. The results contribute to an evidence base for reporting against UNHCR’s multi-year strategies to key stakeholders.
The RMS can be implemented in any operational context. A standard structured questionnaire has been developed for the RMS, which can be conducted as a stand-alone survey or flexibly integrated with other data collection exercises. The questionnaire was adapted to the Myanmar context and programme objectives by including, e.g. the IDP module. Questions related to Accoutability to Affected Populations (AAP) and service provision were added. A mixed methodology of remote and in-person interview was applied to allow for inclusion of respondents in areas not accessible to data collectors, e.g. rakhine state. The data includes indicators collected at both the household and individual (household-member) level. The survey covered 4444 household amounting to 19009 individuals.
