UNHCR Shelter Programme Monitoring in Eastern Ukraine, 2019-2020

433 post-execution monitoring visits of houses repaired by UNHCR in eastern Ukraine during 2019, representing 33% of the 1,316 repairs conducted that year. The monitoring was performed by UNHCR teams between October 2019 and April 2020, using a questionnaire with technical and protection sections. The data covers repairs in government-controlled and non-government-controlled areas of Donetsk, Mariupol, Sloviansk, and Sievierodonetsk.

Use Cases

• Assessing the quality and durability of shelter repairs based on technical monitoring data
• Evaluating protection outcomes and beneficiary feedback from protection monitoring data
• Comparing program effectiveness across different geographic areas (GCA vs. NGCA)
• Analyzing the impact of cash-based interventions based on feedback captured in the 2019 questionnaire

Strengths

• Data is based on 433 on-site monitoring visits, a 33% sample of the total repairs
• Monitoring methodology was standardized with teams from both shelter and protection units
• Questionnaire changes were designed to preserve comparability of data across years

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data does not include monitoring from the Luhansk office due to access restrictions in 2019
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
