Joint Multi Sector Needs Assessment: Cox’s Bazar, Rohingya Refugee Response – August 2020, Host Community - Bangladesh

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

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 860,000. The presence of the refugee communities has raised concerns over local environmental degradation, falling wages and rising prices, exerting additional pressures on localities where public services and infrastructure were already lagging behind the national average. As the crisis moved beyond the initial emergency phase, comprehensive information on the needs and vulnerabilities of affected host communities is needed in order to inform the design and implementation of effective inter-sectoral programming.

Against this background, a Joint Multi-Sector Needs Assessments (J-MSNA) was conducted in the host community to support detailed humanitarian planning and enhance the ability of operational partners to meet the strategic aims of donors and coordinating bodies. To date, a number of MSNAs have been implemented to support the response. The 2020 J-MSNA aims to provide an accurate snapshot of the situation with the specific objectives of (1) providing a comprehensive evidence base of household-level multi-sectoral needs to inform the 2021 Joint Response Plan (JRP); (2) providing an analysis of how needs have changed in 2020 with an emphasis on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on multisectoral needs; and (3) providing the basis for a joint multi stakeholder analysis process.

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure
---------------------------

Target sample sizes for each Union were based on Bangladesh census data. Due to the absence of a comprehensive sampling frame, a sampling frame was constructed using partners’ household registration as well as beneficiary databases. The primary source was UNHCR survey data covering host community populations living within 6 km from UNHCR camps. The proportion of the sample for each Union drawn from this database was equal to the proportion of households from the Union included in the database. The remaining share of the sample was drawn from IOM and UNHCR beneficiary lists, covering to the degree possible areas within the targeted Unions not included in the UNHCR survey data. Additional buffer points were sampled to account for instances of non-eligibility or non-response. As interviews were conducted over the phone, with phone ownership known to be more prevalent among men, to ensure adequate representation of female respondents, female-headed households were sampled proportionately to their representation in the databases

摘要
---------------------------
自2017年8月以来，约74.5万名罗兴亚难民抵达孟加拉国科克斯巴扎尔，使得罗兴亚难民的总体数量超过86万人。难民社区的涌入引发了当地环境退化、工资下降和物价上涨的担忧，给公共服务和基础设施原本就落后于全国平均水平的地区带来了额外的压力。随着危机超越初始紧急阶段，为了指导有效跨部门项目的规划和实施，有必要收集受影响东道社区的需求和脆弱性方面的综合信息。
在此背景下，针对东道社区进行了一次联合多部门需求评估（J-MSNA），以支持详细的援助规划并提高操作伙伴实现捐赠者和协调机构战略目标的能力。迄今为止，已实施多项MSNA以支持响应。2020年J-MSNA旨在提供对当前形势的准确快照，具体目标包括：（1）为2021年联合响应计划（JRP）提供家庭层面多部门需求的全面证据基础；（2）分析2020年需求的变化情况，重点关注COVID-19大流行对多部门需求的影响；（3）为联合多方利益相关者分析过程提供依据。

抽样程序
---------------------------
每个联合会的目标样本量基于孟加拉国人口普查数据。由于缺乏完整的抽样框架，使用合作伙伴的家庭登记以及受益人数据库构建了抽样框架。主要来源是覆盖居住在联合国难民署营地6公里范围内的东道社区人口的联合国难民署调查数据。从数据库中抽取的每个联合会的样本比例等于数据库中包括的该联合会家庭的比例。剩余样本份额从IOM和联合国难民署受益人名单中抽取，尽可能覆盖目标联合会内未包括在联合国难民署调查数据中的区域。此外，还抽取了额外的缓冲点，以应对不符合资格或未响应的情况。由于访谈是通过电话进行的，而电话拥有率在男性中更为普遍，为确保女性受访者的充分代表性，按其在数据库中的比例抽取女性户主家庭。
