    This dataset is part of the data series [?]: UNHCR - Jordan - Post Distribution Monitoring
    This dataset contains the results from the 2022 mid-year Post-Distribution Monitoring (PDM) exercise carried out in June 2022, of the UNHCR multi-purpose cash assistance in Jordan. Jordan hosts 761,580 refugees, making it the fourth host country of refugees per capita in the world. To ensure that the basic needs of the most vulnerable are met, UNHCR provides cash assistance to recipients selected based on vulnerability criteria. As of June 2022, cash assistance continues to have a positive effect on respondents’ psychological and financial wellbeing. In comparison to August 2021, more respondents reported that their wellbeing was improved significantly because of the programme. Just as in previous years, most respondents spent the cash assistance on basic needs, mainly rent (80%) and food (45%). While expenditure on rent has slightly increased since October 2021, fewer respondents spent the cash assistance on food, continuing a tendency of the past few years. The percentage of respondents’ households holding debt reached 91%, the highest figure since late 2018. Meanwhile, food insecurity increased for non-Syrian and, even more substantially, for Syrian refugees, nearly closing the gap between the two groups. As most respondents could meet only half or less than half of their basic needs, many adopted coping strategies such as reducing expenditure for basic needs, buying food on credit or taking out loans. This year, 1 in 5 respondents also reported engaging in activities for money that may put their household at risk of harm, marking a 19-percentage point increase from the summer of 2021. Feedback on UNHCR communications and treatment remains largely positive. Most recipients surveyed received the cash assistance on time and in the expected amount, and most felt that they were treated with respect. Furthermore, there was an increase by 26 percentage points from August 2021 in the share of recipients who are aware of how they can report complaints and feedback to UNHCR. However, there were substantial variations in satisfaction levels among those who contacted UNHCR in the past year, with Syrians being the most likely and Yemeni the least likely to be satisfied with the support provided.

    This dataset contains the results of the Post-Distribution Monitoring exercise conducted to assess the 2021 COVID-19 Emergency Cash assistance operation by UNHCR Jordan. Jordan hosts some 760,000 refugees, most of whom (83% as of April 2022) live outside of camps. Many of them suffered gravely as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the support of flexible funding from a number of UNHCR donors, as well as earmarked funding from Austria, the European Union, and the United States, UNHCR distributed cash assistance to over 70,000 households to help cover fixed expenses, like rent, as a safety net during times of income loss. This assistance was specifically targeted towards those refugees and their families who were severely affected by the impact of the pandemic and had not been receiving regular cash assistance. The assistance was thus a preventative measure to ensure such families did not slip into poverty due to economic sector closures and the general economic slowdown.
  • Jordan - Post Distribution Monitoring: Winter Cash Support, 2020–2021

    The purpose of winter cash assistance is to reduce the harsh winter weather burden on refugees and allow them to get through the cold season without having to resort to negative coping strategies like borrowing money to make ends meet. The one-off cash transfers allow refugees to purchase essential winter items, such as heaters, gas tanks/refills, blankets, etc. A lifeline for many, this program supported over 70,000 cases with a one-off cash injection of winterization cash aid in 2019 for a total investment of 17.9 million Jordanian dinars (JOD). In 2020, partly due to additional Covid-related cash support having been made available at the height of the 2020 Covid-19 crisis, the scope was decreased significantly: some 45,000 cases were assisted by UNHCR with winterization assistance for a total envelope of close to nine million JOD. Post Distribution Monitoring is a tool that UNHCR uses to keep track of how winter cash assistance is used and its impact on recipient well-being and gathers key feedback from recipients on the appropriateness of cash distribution mechanisms.
