Post-Distribution Monitoring of Cash-Based Intervention Nigeria, (2019, 2020, 2022)

The UNHCR conducted a Cash-Based Intervention (CBI) in mid-2022 for refugees in Ogoja and Kwande, Cross River and Benue States, Nigeria. This post-distribution monitoring survey, carried out from August 5 to 9, 2022, aimed to evaluate the intervention’s effectiveness and efficiency. Data was collected from over 800 beneficiary households (207 in Kwande and 623 in Ogoja), distributed by household size. Data collection used stratified random sampling and face-to-face interviews, ensuring comprehensive feedback for program monitoring and improvement. 

In late December 2021, the UNHCR provided cash assistance for food to 20,000 Cameroonian refugees in Ogoja and Ikyogen (Cross River and Benue States), followed by bank transfers to another 4,000 refugee families in early January 2022. This Cash-Based Intervention (CBI) aimed to mitigate the social and economic impacts of COVID-19. A Post-Distribution Monitoring survey was conducted from March 1 to 12, 2022, interviewing over 800 heads of beneficiary households to assess the intervention's effectiveness and efficiency. Data was collected using stratified random sampling and face-to-face interviews, ensuring comprehensive feedback for program monitoring and improvement.

The Cash-Based Interventions (CBI) Post-Distribution Monitoring (PDM) survey collects data on refugee households that received cash assistance in the Nigerian states of Cross River and Benue. The survey records information from over 750 households across settlements, including Ikyogen, Adagom 1, 2, 3, and Okende. It provides insights into how the cash assistance was utilized and the overall impact on household needs. Conducted in August 2020, the survey informs future UNHCR interventions. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a cluster-stratified sampling approach and anonymized to protect personal information.

The dataset captures the outcomes of a post-distribution monitoring survey conducted by UNHCR in December 2019. The survey evaluated the impact of the second cash-assistance intervention provided to refugees in Ogoja and Kwande, located in Cross River and Benue States, Nigeria. The cash-assistance aimed to support various refugee needs, including food, shelter, non-food items, health, and education. Over 950 households were interviewed between December 15-18, 2019, using a face-to-face interview technique. The data collection followed a stratified random sampling procedure, focusing on location and household size. The primary purpose of the dataset is to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the cash-based interventions under UNHCR's protection mandate. This dataset serves as a crucial resource for program monitoring, operational planning, and understanding the needs and outcomes of cash-assistance programs for refugees in Nigeria.

The Cash-Based Interventions Post-Distribution Monitoring contains data from a post-distribution monitoring survey conducted by UNHCR in Nigeria between July 25th and 30th, 2019. The survey assessed the effectiveness of cash-based interventions (CBI) provided to refugees in settlements across Cross River and Benue States. The data includes responses from over 1,140 beneficiaries, gathered through face-to-face interviews. It aims to evaluate the impact of the cash assistance on recipients' economic inclusion and well-being.
