Rohingya Refugee Shelter and NFI Post-Distribution Monitoring Survey, July 2020

1,166 households participated in a Post Distribution Monitoring survey conducted by UNHCR in July 2020. The survey collected feedback on the quality and effectiveness of six types of non-food item and shelter assistance provided to Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. This fifth PDM exercise covers the period from November 2019 to July 2020 and was used to improve upcoming distributions.

Use Cases

• Assessing aid item quality and sufficiency based on refugee feedback.
• Evaluating the utilization and effectiveness of shelter repair assistance.

• Monitoring trends in non food item assistance across multiple survey periods since 2018.

Strengths

• Data is based on feedback from 1,166 surveyed households.
• Covers six specific assistance types: LPG, CRI kits, WASH Hygiene kits, Compressed Rice Husks, and shelter repair.
• Part of a longitudinal series with four previous surveys conducted since 2018.

Limitations
