The UNHCR Results Monitoring Survey (RMS) is a household-level survey covering people who are directly or indirectly assisted by UNHCR. In India, respondents included the refugees and asylum seekers registered with UNHCR. The survey did not cover the refugees registered with the government and the people in refugee like situations. 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 India context and programme objectives by including additional modules from the Health Access and Utilization Survey. A mixed methodology of remote and in-person interview was applied to allow for inclusion of respondents in areas not accessible to data collectors. Delhi, Hyderabad and Mewat were visited physically. The data includes indicators collected at both the household and individual (household-member) level. The survey covered 558 households amounting to 1932 individuals.
