UNHCR Cash Assistance Post-Distribution Monitoring in Ghana, October 2018

Ghana hosted a post-distribution monitoring survey of UNHCR cash-based interventions in October 2018. The survey includes feedback from 50 refugee households across four camps and urban areas, primarily from Côte d'Ivoire, Sudan, and Togo. It was conducted by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) to assess the quality, sufficiency, and utilization of cash assistance.

Use Cases

• Assessing the effectiveness of cash assistance based on feedback on quality and utilization mentioned in the description
• Analyzing household-level aid distribution based on the described tiered cash amounts linked to family size
• Evaluating program outcomes for specific refugee nationalities based on the reported demographics from Côte d'Ivoire, Sudan, and Togo
• Studying the implementation of post-distribution monitoring mechanisms in camp and urban settings in Ghana

Strengths

• Data is tied to a specific monitoring event in October 2018, providing temporal specificity
• Includes a defined sample of 50 households from a known recipient population of 536
• Describes a clear cash distribution logic based on household size (1-3 members: GH₵50, 4+ members: GH₵70 for 8 months)

Limitations
