UNHCR Jordan Post-Distribution Monitoring for COVID-19 Cash Assistance, 2021

UNHCR Jordan's dataset contains results from a 2021 Post-Distribution Monitoring exercise assessing an emergency cash assistance operation. The operation distributed cash to over 70,000 refugee households in Jordan as a safety net during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data likely captures feedback on the assistance's effectiveness for families severely affected by the economic slowdown.
