With thefinancial support from the World Bank – UNHCR Joint Data Center on Forced Displacement, thesurvey for October 2020 through January 2021 rounds extended the sample size in the North andKurdistan regions to include separate strata for vulnerable Iraqis who had been displaced due tothe ISIL conflict.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
IDP Sample
Almost all the IDPs in Iraq are located in the three governorates of Kurdistan region and five governorates of Northern region. Therefore, the coverage of the mobile phone survey for IDP sample was limited to those two regions and create 4 strata: Duhok (stratum 1), Erbil and Sulaimaniya (stratum 2), Nineveh (stratum 3) and rest of northern region i.e., Kirkuk, Diyala, Anber and Salah Al-deen (stratum 4).
Returnee Sample
The forced displaced households that have returned recently are concentrated in the five governorates of Northern region mostly in Nineveh and Anber. The 5 governorates were grouped in to 3 strata - Nineveh (stratum 1), Anber (stratum 2) and rest (stratum 3). A total of 200 Returning IDPs were proposed to be interviewed within a stratum. The proposed sample size of 600 interviews allows to track the change of 10% or over over-time.
