Central African Republic Returnee Reintegration Assessment, 2019-2020

UNHCR conducted a reintegration assessment of 593 returnees in three prefectures of the Central African Republic in 2019. The data was collected by partner ASA and contains information on reasons for return, access to local services, occupation, and main sources of income. This assessment aims to understand the situation of returnees as part of UNHCR's protection monitoring and voluntary repatriation activities.

Use Cases

• Analyzing drivers of voluntary return based on reasons for return data
• Assessing access to basic services for returnee populations in specific prefectures
• Modeling livelihood outcomes based on occupation and main source of income information
• Evaluating reintegration challenges to inform humanitarian and development programming

Strengths

• Data covers 593 individual returnees, providing a substantive sample size
• Assessment was conducted in three specific prefectures (Lobaye, Mambere-Kadei, Nana-Mambere), offering geographic specificity
• Data collection was performed by a dedicated UNHCR partner (ASA), suggesting structured methodology

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown for the downloadable files, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the three surveyed prefectures
