The Hub provided technical support to a UNHCR-WFP Joint Post-Distribution Monitoring and Needs Assessment exercise for Refugees in Rwanda.
The assessment employed a household survey and qualitative data to monitor the effects of food and non-food cash assistance on refugees’ food security outcomes and basic needs, the impact of COVID-19 on households, and their income and livelihoods situations.
The findings show that 71 percent of camp-based refugee households in Rwanda remain highly vulnerable, measured by combining three indicators on economic vulnerability, food consumption and livelihoods resilience. The assessment also informed the development of eligibility criteria and the targeting approach for the provision of humanitarian assistance to highly vulnerable, moderately vulnerable and least vulnerable groups.
