Post-Distribution Monitoring of Shelter Materials, 2021

More than 900,000 Rohingya refugees are living in extremely congested camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. Since their arrival in Bangladesh, they have been dependent on humanitarian aid for their survival, including food, core-relief items, shelter and other basic services. Having provided households with initial shelter kits upon arrival, UNHCR is now supporting families providing the necessary materials to maintain their shelters and cover basic needs. From January to the end of August 2021, UNHCR distributed Upgraded Shelter Kits (USKs) consisting of muli-type2 and borak-type* bamboo poles, rope, plastic tarpaulins, sandbags and toolkits to 90,569 families. UNHCR conducts Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) to collect refugees’ feedback on the quality, sufficiency, utilization, and effectiveness of the assistance we provide, which helps improve and adapt the services as per the refugees’ needs. For this PDM exercise, a mixed methodology incorporating both qualitative and quantitative methods was used. By qualitative method, FGD (Focus Group Discussion) disaggregated by gender and age were conducted with recipients of shelter material in 16 camps. 23 groups discussions for shelter material recipients took place between 03 and 20 October 2021. The PDM survey found that shelter materials distributed by UNHCR and partners generally met the declared household needs and the minimum quality standards as approved by the Bangladesh Shelter/NFI Sector in Cox's Bazar. The respondents rated the overall quality of NFI items as good with a score of 4.26 with an average 94% of respondents rating them good or very good which is a decrease of 0.14 compared to last year PDM. All shelter material items were found useful by 99.50% of respondents.

超过90万名罗兴亚难民居住在孟加拉国考克斯巴扎尔（Cox’s Bazar）的极度拥挤难民营中。自抵达孟加拉国以来，他们始终依靠人道主义援助维持生计，援助范畴涵盖食品、核心救济物资、住所及其他基本公共服务。联合国难民署（United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, UNHCR）已于难民抵达时为每户家庭发放初始住所套件（shelter kits），目前正为家庭提供维持住所及满足基本需求所需的配套物资。2021年1月至8月末，联合国难民署向90569户家庭发放了升级型住所套件（Upgraded Shelter Kits, USKs），该套件包含muli-type2与borak-type*竹竿、绳索、塑料防水布、沙袋及工具包。联合国难民署会开展分发后监测（Post Distribution Monitoring, PDM）工作，以收集难民对所提供援助的质量、充足性、使用情况及实施成效的反馈，从而根据难民的实际需求优化并调整服务供给。本次分发后监测工作采用了定性与定量相结合的混合研究方法。在定性研究环节，研究团队针对16个难民营中的住所物资接收者，开展了按性别与年龄分组的焦点小组讨论（Focus Group Discussion, FGD）；2021年10月3日至20日期间，共开展了23场面向住所物资接收者的小组讨论。本次分发后监测调查显示，联合国难民署及其合作伙伴分发的住所物资总体上符合申报的家庭需求，且达到了孟加拉国考克斯巴扎尔住所与非食品物品（Shelter/Non-Food Items, NFI）部门核定的最低质量标准。受访者将非食品物品的整体质量评为良好，平均得分为4.26；其中94%的受访者认为其质量良好或极佳，这一比例较上一年度分发后监测结果下降了0.14。99.50%的受访者表示所有住所物资均具备实用性。
