Andrej Kveder UNHCR, The UN Refugee Agency

Andrej Kveder is a survey methodologist and population researcher with extensive experience in the design, implementation, and evaluation of large-scale social and demographic surveys, particularly in international and development contexts.

He currently serves as a Senior Statistics and Data Analysis Officer and Survey Coordinator at UNHCR (the UN Refugee Agency), where his work focuses on the development and implementation of household surveys of forcibly displaced populations. Previously, he has held roles at organisations including Oxford Policy Management, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, and the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute, reflecting a long-standing engagement with applied survey research across both academic and policy settings.

Kveder’s expertise lies in survey methodology, particularly in relation to data collection design, sampling strategies, and fieldwork implementation. He has worked extensively on issues of data quality, standardisation, and cross-national comparability, including harmonising measurement instruments and ensuring consistency across countries and over time. His published research further demonstrates this focus, addressing sampling, weighting procedures, representativeness, and mode effects in large comparative surveys such as the Generations and Gender Survey.

Methodologically, his work combines rigorous quantitative approaches with practical expertise in survey operations, including questionnaire design, mixed-mode data collection (e.g. face-to-face, telephone, and web surveys), and the evaluation of response quality. In recent work, he has also contributed to the development of international standards for surveying displaced populations, supporting more inclusive and policy-relevant data systems.
