The purpose of the research was to develop a set of analytical tools that would inform on the scale up of cash vouchers, and in particular help WFP to determine the most effective mix between Global Food Distribution and vouchers, given available resourcing in Kakuma and Dadaab refugee camps.

In September 2015, the World Food Programme (WFP) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) commissioned Kimetrica to undertake an assessment of the livelihood activities and vulnerability profiles of the refugees in Kakuma with a view to establishing the feasibility of targeting food and Non-Food Item (NFI) assistance. In November and December 2015, 2,000 households (HHs) (13,378 people) covering all the 126 blocks within Kakuma were surveyed. This represents the most comprehensive socio-economic evaluation and profiling of this refugee population to date.
