Background

This thematic bulletin is the first of three to summarise the main findings from Ground Truth Solutions (GTS) surveys conducted with Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. The survey, carried out in July 2018, surveyed 1,003 displaced Rohingya in 23 collective sites in the Ukhia and Teknaf subdistricts.
The goal is to use the views of affected people to inform the humanitarian response and to adjust programming to their priorities. GTS developed the survey questions and the sampling in conjunction with the Inter Sector Coordination Group (ISCG), International Organisation for Migration (IOM), Needs and Population Monitoring unit (NPM), Internews, and Translators without Borders (TWB).
GTS will track how these perceptions evolve over time in two additional survey rounds over the next eight months. The majority of questions are closed and use a 1-5 Likert scale to quantify answers.
