    Abstract

    The Cash-Based Intervention – Post Distribution Monitoring (CBI-PDM) survey was conducted in Nepal in 2025 to assess the experiences, outcomes, and satisfaction levels of forcibly displaced and stateless persons who received cash assistance from UNHCR. The survey aims to strengthen accountability to affected populations and improve the quality, relevance, and effectiveness of UNHCR’s cash programming. Data were collected from both urban refugees residing in Kathmandu as well as Bhutanese refugees living in Morang and Jhapa districts. Respondents provided feedback on the adequacy, timeliness, accessibility, and use of cash assistance, as well as perceived impacts on household well-being, access to services, and protection-related concerns.
