Data collection was conducted using a structured, quantitative household survey. Stratified random sampling was applied for face-to-face interviews, while non-probability quota sampling was used for remote, phone-based data collection. This hybrid approach allowed the methodology to adapt to Myanmar’s evolving security context, with remote surveys implemented in locations where in-person access was not feasible. Target sample sizes for each township were determined using population-estimate datasets covering the relevant states, regions, and sub-regions. In total, 2,930 interviews were completed, including 1,625 with internally displaced persons (IDPs), 1,193 with IDP returnees and 112 with non-displaced stateless individuals. Of these, 1,858 interviews were conducted in person and 1,072 remotely due to access constraints.
