    Abstract

    This dataset originates from the 2024 Post-Distribution Monitoring (PDM) survey conducted by UNHCR’s Sub-Office in Cox’s Bazar to evaluate the delivery and impact of cash assistance to Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. The PDM was part of a pilot Cash-Based Interventions (CBI) programme and aimed to gather feedback on the distribution process, usage of received cash, perceived outcomes, and any encountered challenges or protection risks.

    The survey targeted refugee households in both Cox’s Bazar and Bhasan Char and was conducted between June and July 2024. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire. The findings support programme accountability, inform operational improvements, and guide evidence-based decision-making in humanitarian cash assistance programming.
