Overview
UNHCR has implemented a Protection Monitoring assessment to understand the profiles, needs and situation of vulnerable Venezuelans living in Guyana. This factsheet presents the main findings from 1,022 household-level interviews, representing 3,286 persons, between 14 September and 28 December 2023. The results are meant to inform, strengthen and promote an evidence-based protection response in Guyana.
Methodology
The surveys were conducted through in-person interviews during visits to households, where at least one household member was Venezuelan. Eight Spanish-speaking enumerators, trained by UNHCR and partner HIAS codified answers on smartphones and tablets, using the Kobo Collect app. Results are representative to a 95% confidence level and a 2% margin of error for the Venezuelan population at Guyana national level.
Due to geographic limitations to visit the most remote communities and hard-to-reach regions of Guyana, where the presence of Venezuelans was unknown, the protection risks described here might not represent the realities of the most isolated settlements.
