1 PROFILING OF SYRIAN ARRIVALS ON GREEK ISLANDS IN FEBRUARY 2016 CONTEXT In the month of February 2016, 56,000 people made the journey across the Mediterranean to Greece. In 2015, there were 856,000 sea arrivals. UNHCR inihated a data collechon and analysis exercise with support from the Joint IDP Profiling Service (JIPS) in order to berer inform the wider community on the profile of refugees arriving to Greece, and improve immediate response and longer term planning. The exercise focused on Syrian, Iraqis and Afghan arrivals, and this factsheet illustrates the results of interviews with SYRIANS during February METHODOLOGY The profiling exercise was implemented on the islands that are receiving the majority of the arrivals to Greece: Chios, Lesvos, Leros and Samos. The survey was administered in locahons on each island where all arrivals pass. The survey was not administered while individuals waited in line (e.g., for registrahon) and minors and persons with mental disabilihes were interviewed in the presence of a caretaker. A systemahc purposive sampling was uhlized and the enumerators interviewed respondents at intervals. The methodology was designed using the individual as unit of analysis. The purpose of the methodology is to provide a representahve sample over the period of one month. Data by Greek authorihes on age and gender breakdown of the Syrian populahons arriving during the same period on the islands were used to apply weights to the data collected, to ensure a representahon of each age and gender group based on the actual distribuhon of arrivals. The methodology was tested and closely monitored throughout the data collechon period. Four teams of Arabic speaking enumerators based in Chios, Lesvos, Leros and Samos interviewed 736 Syrians from 1 to 29 February. The February results illustrated in this factsheet are representahve of the Syrian populahon arriving to Greece in February. This exercise started in January 2016 and will be repeated each month for the first half of 2016 and results will be analyzed at the end of each month to give a profile of the arrivals from the main nahonalihes. LIMITATIONS OperaHonal constraints were significant: Hme for conduchng a survey is limited, tensions may be high, some locahons had to be le^ out due to lack of access, etc. Number of Interviews of Syrian individuals conducted on four Greek islands Many of the individuals staying overnight in hotels as well as unaccompanied minors might not have been reached. The methodology arempted to factor in these challenges as much as possible. These challenges must be considered when reading the profiling results.
