UNHCR Post-Distribution Monitoring Survey in Kalobeyei Settlement, March 2020

388 validated household survey entries from a post-distribution monitoring (PDM) exercise conducted in the Kalobeyei refugee settlement in Kenya. The survey was carried out by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) over three days from March 25-27, 2020, using a sampling frame from ProGres V4 data. Data collection was affected by COVID-19 restrictions, leading to a mix of stratified random and convenience sampling.

Use Cases

• Assessing aid distribution effectiveness based on household survey feedback.
• Analyzing sampling bias in humanitarian data collection under emergency constraints.
• Studying refugee settlement conditions and needs based on monitoring survey concepts.

Strengths

• 388 validated data entries from a structured survey.
• Sampling aimed for a 95% confidence level with a 5% confidence interval.
• Data collection methodology is explicitly documented in the description.

Limitations

• Data collection was affected by COVID 19 restrictions, limiting triangulation with methods like focus group discussions.
• The description notes a bias linked to non-probability sampling in the final validated data.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
