    Abstract

    The 2023 Results Monitoring Survey (RMS) in Malawi targets refugees, asylum-seekers, and others of concern in Dzaleka Refugee Camp, Dowa, Central Region, Malawi. The objective of the survey was to assess key outcome indicators across various sectors, including education, healthcare, livelihoods, protection, shelter, and water and sanitation. The survey used a combination of in-person interviews conducted during the proGres verification exercise and phone-based interviews, utilizing a standardized questionnaire translated into English and Chichewa. Data collection methods included Computer-Assisted Personal Interviews (CAPI) and Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI), ensuring the survey was statistically representative. The results contribute to an evidence base supporting UNHCR’s multi-year strategic reporting.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    The 2023 RMS in Malawi employed a simple random sampling method. Refugee settlements were divided into four zones based on cardinal directions, and blocks within each zone were randomly selected. Households were then systematically sampled using a pre-determined interval based on the total number of households. For phone-based interviews, a randomized list provided by UNHCR was used, with respondents proportionately selected by nationality. The survey ensured comprehensive geographical coverage of Dzaleka Camp, ensuring representative data across different population groups.
