Post-Distribution Monitoring of Cash-Based Intervention, March 2020, February 2021 - South Africa

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

UNHCR increasingly uses Cash-Based Interventions (CBIs) as a preferred modality for delivering assistance, offering greater dignity and choice to forcibly displaced and stateless persons in line with UNHCR's core protection mandate. To ensure the cash assistance provided meets the intended programme objectives and that desired outcomes are achieved, UNHCR and its partners conduct regular post-distribution and outcome monitoring. Post-Distribution Monitoring (PDM) is a mechanism to collect feedback on the quality, sufficiency, utilization and effectiveness of assistance. The underlying principle behind the process is linked to accountability, as well as a commitment to improve the quality and relevance of support provided, and related services.

In 2020, through its partners Adonis Musati Project, Future Families, Refugee Social Services and Hand in Hand Development, UNHCR Southern African Multi-Country Office (SAMCO) provided multi-purpose cash (including for food, accommodation, household and hygiene items) to the most vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers in South Africa for a limited period of time (1 - 3 months) per individual, however, assistance could be extended after a re-assessment. The aim of the assistance was to focus essentially on life-saving and life-sustaining measures to vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers' needs. The CBI PDM was implemented by the partners after the intervention in their area was complete.

{'Abstract': '联合国难民署（UNHCR）日益将基于现金的干预措施（CBIs）作为提供援助的首选方式，旨在为被迫流离失所和无国籍人士提供更高的尊严和选择权，这与联合国难民署的核心保护使命相一致。为确保提供的现金援助符合既定项目目标，并实现预期成果，联合国难民署及其合作伙伴进行定期的分配后和成果监测。分配后监测（PDM）是一种收集关于援助质量、充足性、利用率和有效性的反馈的机制。该过程背后的基本原理与问责制相关联，同时也体现了提升所提供支持和相关服务质量和相关性的承诺。

在2020年，通过其合作伙伴阿多尼斯·穆萨蒂项目、未来家庭、难民社会服务和手拉手发展，联合国难民署南部非洲多国办公室（SAMCO）向南非最脆弱的难民和寻求庇护者提供了为期有限时间（1-3个月）的多用途现金（包括食品、住宿、家庭和卫生用品），然而，在重新评估后，援助可以被延长。该援助的目的是专注于满足脆弱难民和寻求庇护者的生命维持和生命救助措施。

分配后监测（CBI PDM）由合作伙伴在干预措施完成后在其地区实施。
