    Series Information

    UNHCR conducts socio-economic assessments of persons-of-concern (i.e. refugees, asylum-seekers, IDPs, etc.) in a variety of countries in order to inform and improve its programming with the goal of promoting self-reliance. While these assessments are not fully standardized and are tailored to their specific country context, the quantitative surveys share strong similarities in their design and objectives, and are therefore considered a survey series for the purpose of microdata documentation/archiving.

    Abstract

    As a consequence of the armed conflict in the Gao, Kidal and Timbuktu regions of Mali, an estimated 32,000 Malian refugees have settled in Burkina Faso. Since 2012, UNHCR has been providing protection and assistance to these Malian refugees through multisectoral interventions. In order to assess the levels of vulnerability among these refugees and to identify potential opportunities for increasing their resilience, a quantitative survey was conducted among 6,775 Malian refugee households during April/May 2016.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    The survey's objective was to deliver representative data of all Malian refugees living in Burkina Faso. The total population of Malian refugees at the time of the survey was estimated at around 8,972 households. These refugees were located in Goudoubo and Mentao refugee camps, urban areas of Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso, and Oudalan Province.

    The survey applied a full-coverage (census) approach, i.e. no sample selection was made. Out of the estimated total 8,972 households of interest, 7,177 households were retrievable from a registration database that served as the list frame for this survey. Interviews were attempted with all of these registered households. The total number of completed interviews (after non-response) was 6,775 households.

    While the original data collection took a full-coverage approach, the public-release version of the dataset contains a systematically drawn sub-sample of this original data for reasons of statistical disclosure control. The total sample size in the dataset presented for public release is 1,690 households.

    Deviations from the Sample Design

    None.

    Response Rate

    Response rates (i.e. completed interviews over units selected from sampling frame) were 86.9% in Bobo-Dioulasso, 98.8% in Ouagadougou, 96.7% in Goudoubo camp, 95.0% in Mentao camp, and 90.0% in Oudalan Province. Overall response rate was 94.4%.

    Weighting

    This dataset is self-weighting. Nevertheless, since the dataset presented here for public release contains only a sub-sample of the original data (see above), a uniform weights variable is provided in the data. (NB: This was adjusted slightly from uniformity to account for the slightly differing levels of non-response and frame coverage rates across the five locations of the study.)

    Data processing

    Data Editing

    The dataset presented here has undergone light checking, cleaning and restructuring (data may still contain errors) as well as anonymization (includes removal of direct identifiers and sensitive variables, and grouping values of select variables). Moreover, it constitutes a sub-sample of the data originally collected.
