Iraq — Return Index: Measuring the quality of returns (August 2018)

To prioritize interventions, the Return Index measures the quality of returns by evaluating conditions in areas of high return over time as well as the locations that have limited returns. Monthly data collection of indicators across two scales is conducted in each of the over 1,400 locations of return in Iraq. The ranking system, based on a combined score of two scales, will allow partners to prioritize vulnerable areas or mitigate risks of push/pull factors for a more specific set of interventions on the part of humanitarian, recovery, and stabilization actors.
