About this report
This summary report highlights select findings from the full report “Profiling of Syrian Refugees in Lebanon” available on the Inter-Agency data portal at www.data.unhcr.org.
The report aims to form a detailed profile of Syrian refugee households in Lebanon using data from the Vulnerability Assessment of Syrian Refugees in Lebanon (VASyR) 2015, alongside data from the household visits (HV) exercise, which has surveyed more than half of the Syrian refugee population in Lebanon since December 2014.
The VASyR 2015 survey was conducted through the joint efforts of the World Food Programme (WFP), United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). The VASyR is a nationally representative survey conducted on a yearly basis to understand refugee needs and vulnerabilities. This dataset sampled 4,105 households of Syrian refugees in Lebanon who are registered with UNHCR. Data was collected between the 27th of May and 9th of June 2015.
The household visit (HV) exercise is an inter-agency effort launched in 2014 to determine refugee households’ level of vulnerability and eligibility for inclusion in assistance, and to monitor changing needs. Enumerators visited approximately 9,000 refugee households every month, interviewing 124,666 households by March 2016.
