Abstract
This dataset contains the results of the Post-Distribution Monitoring exercise conducted to assess the 2021 COVID-19 Emergency Cash assistance operation by UNHCR Jordan. Jordan hosts some 760,000 refugees, most of whom (83% as of April 2022) live outside of camps. Many of them suffered gravely as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the support of flexible funding from a number of UNHCR donors, as well as earmarked funding from Austria, the European Union, and the United States, UNHCR distributed cash assistance to over 70,000 households to help cover fixed expenses, like rent, as a safety net during times of income loss. This assistance was specifically targeted towards those refugees and their families who were severely affected by the impact of the pandemic and had not been receiving regular cash assistance. The assistance was thus a preventative measure to ensure such families did not slip into poverty due to economic sector closures and the general economic slowdown.
