UNHCR - Multi-Dimensional Integration Index Study In Kabul

December, 2015

The Multi-Dimensional Integration Index was developed as an inter-agency approach with the Government, the United Nations and NGOs commonly agreeing on a standardised tool to measure integration levels of returnees and IDPs in Afghanistan. The underlying assumption in the development of the index is that returnees are fully integrated when they become indistinguishable from members of the local host community based on a variety of indicators ranging across several independent dimensions. The MDI is based on a simple 27-question form complementing any type of quantitative surveys and assessments carried out in the field. At this stage of the research, Samuel Hall has surveyed about 800 host community members and 2,000 returnees and IDPs in Kabul, Herat, Baghlan and Takhar.
