    Abstract

    The 2024 Socio-Economic Insights Survey (SEIS) in Romania is a comprehensive regional assessment conducted from May to July 2024, focusing on the needs of refugees in Romania, particularly those from Ukraine. This multi-sectoral survey aims to capture key data on refugees' socio-economic integration, access to national systems, and their priorities for the coming year, providing valuable insights to inform the 2025 Refugee Response Plan (RRP). The survey employs a stratified random sampling method and involves face-to-face and online interviews with refugees, covering topics such as health, education, protection, food security, and livelihoods. The collected data is anonymized and cleaned for use in policy planning and intervention development. The findings highlight gaps in services and provide crucial information on the changing trends in refugees’ needs, contributing to a more targeted and effective response to refugee challenges in Romania.

    Data Collection Notes

    Data collection for the Romania Socio-Economic Insights Survey 2024 was conducted through face-to-face interviews, supplemented by online interviews in specific cases (e.g., households with disabilities or extended working hours). A Kobo-based questionnaire was used, with a stratified random sampling approach ensuring representation across counties. Quality assurance measures included constant communication with enumerators and random controls. Data cleaning excluded test interviews, non-consenting respondents, and cases with contradictory information to ensure accuracy and reliability.
