Ethiopia Tracer Study – Data Collection (2025)
MERQ conducted extensive data collection for the ILO-PROSPECTS program across Ethiopia’s Somali and Amhara regions, reaching 616 survey participants and 16 focus group discussions with over 120 participants from both refugee and host communities. Using a robust mixed-methods approach, including structured phone surveys, focus group discussions, and case studies, critical insights were gathered on livelihoods, employment, access to financial and non-financial services, youth participation, and social cohesion. These findings delivered evidence-based guidance to strengthen economic inclusion, community resilience, and support for forcibly displaced persons and host communities.
