Abstract
This dataset contains the results of the 2021 annual Post-Distribution Monitoring (PDM) exercise of UNHCR’s urban basic needs cash assistance programme in Jordan. Through an automated teller machine (ATM) banking network equipped with iris scan technology,and mobile wallet technology, the agency disburses approximately 5.5 million USD per month to over 33,000 vulnerable refugee families across the country. UNHCR Jordan’s population of concern consists mainly (90+%) of Syrian refugees, but the organization also assists approximately 3,000 refugee families from other countries such as Iraq, Sudan, Somalia and Yemen. Assistance is designed to allow refugees who reside outside the camps in urban environments throughout Jordan to meet their basic needs and reduce their susceptibility to protection risks.
