Post-Distribution Monitoring of Cash-Based Intervention 2023

UNHCR uses Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) as a mechanism to collect refugees’ feedback on the quality, sufficiency, utilization and effectiveness of the assistance items they receive. 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. UNHCR increasingly uses cash based interventions (CBIs) as a preferred modality for delivering assistance, offering greater dignity and choice to Persons of Concern (PoCs) in line with UNHCR’s core protection mandate. In order to ensure that the cash assistance provided meets the intended objectives and that desired outcomes are achieved, UNHCR conducts regular post-distribution and outcome monitoring with a sample of refugee recipients residing across the country. The dataset consists of 22 records, indicating that it encompasses a relatively small sample size. Before using the dataset, it is essential for data users to be aware that the dataset's small size (22 records) may limit the generalizability of the findings. It is crucial to exercise caution when drawing broad conclusions or making policy recommendations based solely on this limited dataset.
