UNHCR MCO Thailand conducted the Post Distribution Monitoring of Cash Based Intervention to consider how cash support was received and spent, perceived risks and problems associated with multi-purpose cash assistance, and the accountability of the programme to urban refugees. The PDM was conducted four months after the Royal Thai Government (RTG) announced in August 2022 that COVID-19 would be downgraded from a 'dangerous communicable disease' to a 'communicable disease under surveillance' as part of the country's plan to enter a normal endemic period. The improvement in the COVID-19 situation is considered to have contributed to a gradual return of employment and resumption of support from sources other than CBI for urban refugees.
