The most recent large-scale influx of Malians occurred in 2012, and resulted in the creation of the Mbera camp, which today hosts around 75,000 refugees. Because the large-scale return of Malians is not yet a viable option, Mauritania has committed itself to a policy of inclusion. It thus requested support from the UNHCR-WFP Targeting Hub to facilitate the inclusion of Malian refugees in the national social registry. Accordingly, the two UN agencies assisted Mauritania\u2019s National Social Registry to conduct a socio-economic census to identify  the most vulnerable households to target for prioritized assistance. Around 14,000 households were interviewed.\n\nThe purpose of the census was to:\n-\tCollect socio-economic information on all refugees in Bassikounou to understand needs at household level\n-\tCategorize refugee households based on their degree of vulnerability to inform programmatic decisions and joint targeting approaches\n-\tInclude all refugees in the national Social Registry\n-\tIdentify and include the most vulnerable refugees in the national social protection scheme, Tekavoul\n","geog_coverage":"Mbera refugee camp (98.5%), Bassikounou (0.4%), El Megve (1.1%)","analysis_unit":"Household and member","universe":"","data_kind":"Census\/enumeration data [cen]","notes":"The scope includes:\n- household and member demographics\n- dwelling characteristics\n- employment and livelihood\n- food consumption\n","nation":[{"name":"Mauritania","abbreviation":"MRT"}],"topics":[{"topic":"Shelter\/Other Infrastructure"},{"topic":"Livelihood and Social cohesion"},{"topic":"Health and Nutrition"},{"topic":"Food security"}],"coll_dates":[{"start":"2021-04-27","end":"2021-06-16"}]},"method":{"data_collection":{"sampling_procedure":"Census","coll_mode":"Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]","research_instrument":"Questionnaire contained the following sections: household demographics, employment, asset ownership and shelter, food consumption, livelihood coping, expenditure, community participation.","coll_situation":"","weight":"","data_collectors":[{"name":"Mauritania's Social Registry"}]}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"cit_req":"Mauritania's Social Registry, UNHCR, WFP (2021).
