Post Distribution Monitoring Report: Cash Based Interventions in Lebanon (Jan-March 2016)

This post-monitoring report relies on several quantitative and qualitative approaches to evaluate the process, performance and impact of the cash based interventions (CBI) undertaken between January and March 2016, contrasting these with the results obtained in the post-distribution monitoring report covering October to December 2015.

The monitoring exercise focused on the following areas: The distribution process, from the distribution of the cash card and PINs to the redemption of cash assistance;

• The impact of cash assistance for the beneficiaries;
• The reporting of complaints and problems associated with cash assistance and the response mechanisms in place to handle them.

Data was collected from UNHCR’s cash database, bank reports, a randomized phone survey of nearly 300 households in 2015 as well as an additional 1,046 households in March 2016, and reports and observations from the field offices.
