First launched in 2020, the Self-Reliance Index (SRI) is the first-ever global tool for measuring the progress of refugee households toward self-reliance.

The SRI can be used to:

• Support the design and provision of effective services

• Target populations for assistance

• Highlight service gaps

• Inform funding priorities

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

The Self-Reliance Index contains twelve domains focused on a household’s basic needs, resources, and sustainability. Domains measure conditions and assets that increase the likelihood that refugees will be able to continue meeting their needs in the future.

VERSATILE

Designed primarily for urban and non-camp-based populations, and is also currently being used with internally displaced individuals, camp or rural-based refugees, and more

Collaborative

Developed through a three-year multi-stakeholder process with 25 partners, including NGOs, UNHCR, researchers, funders, and government agencies
