UNHCR’s drought response interventions targeted to support IDPs with cash transfer for their households. Displaced households experience several challenges in the camps including inadequate food, WASH facilities, lack of necessities (i.e. non-food items), among others; and this results in mental health issues among majority of them due to depression and stress. The goal of the CBI was to improve their psychosocial well-being by addressing their needs of food, shelter and accommodation, amongst other necessities
The post-distribution monitoring (PDM) aimed to assess how UNHCR’s CBI was delivered and experiences of recipients regarding different aspects of the program, extent to which the cash assistance provided to targeted people of concerns able to meet their most pressing needs and (if any) what are their unmet needs and coping strategies resorted to respond to any shortfalls; how the cash transfer has contributed to specific outcomes. The outcomes include increased ability to meet immediate consumption needs; access to secure accommodation/shelter; improved well-being; improved psychosocial well-being; and reduced resort to harmful coping strategies. A consultant from GARTS was involved in Data Analysis and Report development.
