Bangladesh Post-Distribution Monitoring for Cash Grants, July 2018

July 2018 survey data from UNHCR's Post-Distribution Monitoring of a cash grant pilot program for Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. The dataset likely contains feedback from 320 interviewed households on the adequacy and use of the assistance. It was created by UNHCR to evaluate the effectiveness of cash-based interventions and identify unmet needs.

Use Cases

• Evaluating the adequacy of cash grants based on refugee feedback collected in the survey
• Identifying harmful coping mechanisms like selling aid items based on reported behaviors
• Analyzing patterns in the use of unrestricted cash grants for unmet basic needs
• Assessing the sufficiency of in-kind assistance packages based on reported household struggles

Strengths

• Survey includes feedback from 320 households
• Focuses on a specific pilot program (Multipurpose Cash Grants) in Camp 5 and Camp 6
• Data is intended for evaluating program effectiveness and identifying improvements

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single 2018 survey in two camps
