The first wave of SCORE Ukraine was conducted between August 2015 – December 2016, with a nation-wide sample of over 7,700 respondents, plus a booster sample of 1,600 Internally Displaced People.  Findings can be accessed here, and the related publications and policy briefs here

The second wave of SCORE Ukraine, in partnership with USAID/OTI and UCBI, was re-calibrated in the summer of 2017 with stakeholder consultations and 8 regional focus groups. The fieldwork was deployed in January 2018 with a nation-wide sample of over 9,018 respondents, 6,102 of which were part of the panel sample.
