Ethiopia, with its long history of hosting refugees, is grappling with the complex challenges of accommodating close to one million refugees and asylum seekers. While Ethiopia has adopted progressive refugee policies, including the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF), challenges persist in translating these policies into tangible socioeconomic outcomes for refugees. To address these challenges and achieve better development outcomes for both refugees and host communities, a shift towards supporting refugees' self-reliance and economic integration is essential. The Socio-Economic Survey of Refugees in Ethiopia (SESRE) plays a crucial role in informing policy decisions by providing comprehensive data on the socioeconomic dimensions of refugees and host communities. SESRE is a separate but integrated survey alongside the Ethiopian Household Welfare Statistics Survey (HoWStat), the national household survey to measure poverty and other socio-economic outcomes.
