Post Distribution Monitoring: Winter Cash Support, 2020–2021 - Jordan

Abstract
---------------------------

The purpose of winter cash assistance is to reduce the harsh winter weather burden on refugees and allow them to get through the cold season without having to resort to negative coping strategies like borrowing money to make ends meet. The one-off cash transfers allow refugees to purchase essential winter items, such as heaters, gas tanks/refills, blankets, etc. A lifeline for many, this program supported over 70,000 cases with a one-off cash injection of winterization cash aid in 2019 for a total investment of 17.9 million Jordanian dinars (JOD). In 2020, partly due to additional Covid-related cash support having been made available at the height of the 2020 Covid-19 crisis, the scope was decreased significantly: some 45,000 cases were assisted by UNHCR with winterization assistance for a total envelope of close to nine million JOD.
Post Distribution Monitoring is a tool that UNHCR uses to keep track of how winter cash assistance is used and its impact on recipient well-being and gathers key feedback from recipients on the appropriateness of cash distribution mechanisms.

摘要
---------------------------
冬季现金援助的宗旨在于减轻难民在严酷冬季天气中的负担，使他们能够在不诉诸于诸如借款度日等消极应对策略的情况下度过寒冷季节。一次性现金转账使难民能够购买必需的冬季用品，例如加热器、燃气罐/补充、毛毯等。对于众多难民而言，这一援助项目如同生命线，2019年通过一次性现金注入冬季化援助资金，共支持了70,000个案例，总投资额达到1,790万约旦第纳尔（JOD）。2020年，鉴于在2020年新冠疫情高峰期间已提供额外的与新冠疫情相关的现金支持，该项目的范围显著缩减：联合国难民署通过冬季化援助支持了约45,000个案例，总资金接近九百万JOD。
分发后监测是联合国难民署用于跟踪冬季现金援助的使用情况及其对受助人福祉影响的工具。
