Resumen
Descripción
The Kenya Longitudinal Socioeconomic Study of Refugees and Host Communities (K-LSRH) is the first
national panel survey of registered refugees and hosts in Kenya. It provides a unique opportunity to inform efforts to enhance the socioeconomic integration of refugees. Unlike previous surveys that lacked comparable host refugee data, K-LSRH includes both refugee and host communities, offering comprehensive and longitudinal insights into their living conditions, challenges and opportunities. The first wave was collected between May 2022 and June 2023, while the second wave followed between March and November 2024. The survey covers refugees in Kakuma Refugee Camp, Dadaab Refugee Complex, Kalobeyei Integrated Settlement, as well as refugees in Nairobi, Mombasa, and Nakuru. The survey instrument covers a wide range of socioeconomic modules, including but not limited to employment, consumption, food insecurity, shocks, migration histories and mental health as well as dedicated survey modules on women’s empowerment and child education outcomes. With its extensive scope and panel structure, K-LSRH is well-positioned to assess programmatic changes and their impacts.
