    Abstract

    The 2023 Post-Distribution Monitoring (PDM) of Cash-Based Interventions in Bulgaria was conducted to assess the outcomes of one-time cash assistance programs provided to vulnerable households registered under Temporary or International Protection. These programs included a one-time payment for protection and a one-time payment for winter support, with enrollment starting in August 2022. Data collection took place from March to May 2023 with 258 households through telephone interviews. The PDM captured feedback on demographics, cash utilization, accommodation, expenditure patterns, impact on livelihoods, and satisfaction with the program. The findings highlight the program's positive impact in alleviating financial burdens, improving living conditions, and moderately reducing stress levels, providing valuable insights for future program improvements.

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    The sample was selected using a probability-based simple random sampling method, targeting households registered under Temporary or International Protection in Bulgaria. This ensured an unbiased representation across various demographics and geographic locations. A total of 258 households participated in the survey. Sampling was aligned with the program's operational coverage to accurately capture feedback from cash assistance recipients. Measures were implemented to address non-response bias, and replacement households were identified when necessary to maintain the target sample size.
