Multi Sector Needs Assessment: Cox’s Bazar, Rohingya Refugee Response – June 2019 - Bangladesh

Abstract
---------------------------

In successive waves over four decades, Rohingya refugees have been fleeing to Bangladesh from Rakhine State, Myanmar, where they have suffered systematic ongoing persecution. Since August 2017, an estimated 745,000 Rohingya refugees have arrived in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, increasing the total number of Rohingya refugees to more than 900,000.
Most of the newly-arrived refugees have settled in hilly, formerly-forested areas that are vulnerable to landslides and flash-flooding in monsoon season and rely heavily on humanitarian assistance to cover their basic needs. As the crisis moves beyond the initial emergency phase, comprehensive information on the needs and vulnerabilities of affected populations is needed in order to inform the design and implementation of effective inter-sectoral programming. To this aim, a Joint Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (J-MSNA) was conducted across Rohingya refugee populations to support humanitarian planning and enhance operational and strategic decision-making. The J-MSNA was conducted in support of the mid-term review of the 2019 Joint Response Plan (JRP), with the specific objective of enabling the tracking of JRP 2019 indicators for monitoring and review purposes. A total of 876 households were surveyed across 33 refugee sites.
This J-MSNA was funded by UNHCR and coordinated through the MSNA Technical Working Group of the Information Management and Assessment Working Group (IMAWG), led by the Inter-Sector Coordination Group (ISCG) and comprised of: UNHCR, IOM Needs and Population Monitoring (NPM), ACAPS, WFP VAM, Translators without Borders, and REACH.

A total of 876 households were surveyed across 33 refugee sites,2 employing a simple random sampling methodology of shelter footprints within official site boundaries. Each survey was conducted with an adult household representative responding on behalf of the household and its members. Findings are generalisable to refugee populations living within each of the two Upazilas2 with a 95% confidence level and 5% margin of error. This factsheet presents key findings from both Upazilas, where households were surveyed between 9 - 24 June 2019.

摘要
---------------------------
在长达四十年的连续浪潮中，若开邦的罗兴亚难民不断逃离至孟加拉国的 Cox's Bazar 地区，他们在缅甸的若开邦遭受了系统性的持续迫害。自 2017 年 8 月以来，估计有 74.5 万名罗兴亚难民抵达孟加拉国的 Cox's Bazar，使得罗兴亚难民的总数超过 90 万。大部分新抵达的难民定居于多山、曾为森林的地区，这些地区在雨季易发生山体滑坡和洪水，严重依赖人道主义援助来满足其基本需求。随着危机超越初始紧急阶段，为了指导有效跨部门规划的设计与实施，迫切需要有关受影响人群需求和脆弱性的综合信息。为此，针对罗兴亚难民群体开展了联合多部门需求评估（J-MSNA），以支持人道主义规划并提升操作和战略决策能力。J-MSNA 在 2019 年联合应对计划（JRP）的中期审查支持下进行，其具体目标在于实现对 2019 年 JRP 指标的跟踪，以便进行监测和审查。共对 33 个难民点中的 876 户家庭进行了调查。

地理覆盖范围
---------------------------
该评估涵盖了 Cox's Bazar 地区 Ukhia 和 Teknaf 的 33 个难民点（由于安全问题，Kutupalong 注册营地被排除在评估之外）。

分析单元
---------------------------
家庭和个人

抽样程序
---------------------------
在 33 个难民点中对 876 户家庭进行了调查，采用简单随机抽样方法，在官方营地边界内的避难所足迹中进行抽样。每次调查均由一名成年家庭成员代表进行，代表整个家庭及其成员。调查结果在 95% 的置信水平和 5% 的误差范围内，可推广至两个 Upazilas 中的难民群体。本事实表呈现了 2019 年 6 月 9 日至 24 日期间在两个 Upazilas 中调查的家庭的关键发现。
