The presence of the refugee communities has raised concerns over local environmental degradation, falling wages and rising prices, exerting additional pressures on localities where public services and infrastructure were already lagging behind the national average. As the crisis moved beyond the initial emergency phase, comprehensive information on the needs and vulnerabilities of affected host communities is needed in order to inform the design and implementation of effective inter-sectoral programming.\nAgainst this background, a Joint Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (J-MSNA) was conducted across Rohingya refugee communities to support detailed humanitarian planning and enhance the ability of operational partners to meet the strategic aims of donors and coordinating bodies. To date, a number of MSNAs have been implemented to support the response. The 2020 J-MSNA aims to provide an accurate snapshot of the situation with the specific objectives of (1) providing a comprehensive evidence base of household-level multi sectoral needs to inform the 2021 Joint Response Plan (JRP); (2) providing an analysis of how needs have changed in 2020 with an emphasis on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on multisectoral needs; and (3) providing the basis for a joint multi stakeholder analysis process.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2020-07-27","end":"2020-08-12","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Bangladesh","abbreviation":"BGD"}],"geog_coverage":"Cox's Bazar District","analysis_unit":"Individuals and households","universe":"34 refugee camps in Ukhiya and Teknaf upazilas.","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"Household: household information, shelter\/NFI\/site management, education, health, nutrition, food security and livelihood, WASH, protection, accountability\nIndividuals: individuals information"},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"REACH","abbreviation":"","affiliation":""}],"sampling_procedure":"Target sample sizes for each camp were based on the most recent population figures available from UNHCR. Points were randomly sampled from the UNHCR refugee registration database. Additional buffer points were sampled to account for instances of non-eligibility or non-response.

Sector representatives directly trained enumerators.\n\nInformed consent was sought, received and documented at the start of each interview\nDue to restrictions on movement, access to camps and face-to-face interviews as part of the COVID-19 preventative measures,\nall interviews were conducted via the phone. This created some challenges and limitations:\n\u2022 Given expected poor connectivity and the lack of personal interaction during a phone interview, questionnaire size was limited to avoid losing\nrespondents' attention.\n\u2022 As privacy cannot be ensured during phone interviews, in order to avoid creating risks to respondents, sensitive topics were not included in\nthe assessment.\n\u2022 As phone ownership is more prevalent among men, a lower proportion of female respondents were reached than might have been reached\nduring an in-person survey.","weight":"Roughly 400 surveys were completed per Upazila to maintain a 95% confidence level and 5% margin of error in each Upazila. However, when aggregating findings up to the overall response level for all host community members included in the sampling frame, surveys must be weighted to account for the unequal distribution of households between the two Upazailas.","cleaning_operations":"Each day, data checking and cleaning was conducted according to pre-established standard operating procedures, including outlier checks, correct categorisation of \"other\" responses, and removal and\/or replacement of inaccurate records.
