UNHCR Ukraine Cash Assistance Post-Distribution Monitoring, 2020

UNHCR monitored the impact of cash and voucher assistance provided to 226 vulnerable refugee and asylum-seeker families in Ukraine during 2020. The data likely contains survey results from post-distribution monitoring (PDM) focused on two primary assistance modalities: vouchers for food and non-food items, and monthly subsistence allowance cash transfers. This dataset was published by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and last updated on the HDX platform in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Assessing the geographic distribution of aid based on the described coverage of Kyiv, Odesa, Zakarpattya, Lviv, and Kharkiv regions.
• Analyzing assistance modalities and value based on the described voucher (500 UAH) and cash (2,400 UAH per person) programs.
• Evaluating program targeting and vulnerability criteria based on the described strict review processes and family size calculations.
• Studying the impact of external shocks like COVID-19 on aid delivery based on the mentioned shift away from voucher modalities.

Strengths

• Provides specific counts of beneficiary families: 121 received vouchers and 105 received monthly cash allowances.
• Includes detailed program parameters such as voucher value (500 UAH) and monthly subsistence allowance calculation (2,400 UAH base).
• Clearly defines the geographic scope (Kyiv, Odesa, Zakarpattya/Lviv, Kharkiv) and temporal coverage (2020).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The data is from 2020 and may not reflect current conditions, despite a 2026 metadata update.
