    Abstract

    Ethiopia hosts over 900,000 refugees, making it the sixth-largest refugee population in the world and the second-largest in Sub-Saharan Africa. Most refugees are from South Sudan, Eritrea, Somalia, and Sudan, which have experienced some combination of long-running domestic conflict, border disputes with Ethiopia, recurrent drought, and other climate shocks. The national household survey of Ethiopia – Household Welfare Statistics Survey (HoWStat) – currently excludes displaced populations from its sample of households. We have little information on their socioeconomic outcomes and poverty levels compared to Ethiopians. The Socio-Economic Survey of Refugees (SESRE) aims at solving two existing problems: (i) gaps in data on the socioeconomic dimensions of refugees and (ii) gaps in analytical studies presenting the socioeconomic outcomes of refugees and hosts. Moreover, the SESRE serves as a feasibility study to include refugees in HoWStat’s data collection effort, including sampling, data collection, and analysis.

    Coverage

    Geographic Coverage

    The SESRE covers all current major refugee camps: Eritreans, South Sudanese, and Somalis, as well as the out-of-camp refugees in Addis Ababa. In addition, the survey covers the respective host communities around the camps, including the host communities of Addis Ababa. Due to the conflict in the Tigray region of Ethiopia between 2020 and 2022, Eritrean refugees living in camps in Tigray could not be included in this survey.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    The sample for this survey was 3,456 households from eight domains, with data was collected from 3,452 households. There are three domains for the three largest in-camp refugee groups—Eritreans, Somalis, and South Sudanese—three for host communities of these major refugee groups, and one for refugees and one for host communities in Addis Ababa. In all categories, a stratified, two-stage cluster sample design technique was used to select EAs and 12 households per EA, whereby the EAs were considered a Primary Sampling Unit and the households as the Secondary Sampling Unit. The SESRE is designed to estimate demographic, socioeconomic, welfare, and refugee-specific indicators of the eight domains.
