Basic Needs
THE CBI PDM Household Survey was conducted in Kazakhstan between February, to April, 2021. UNHCR uses Post-Distribution Monitoring (PDM) as a mechanism to collect refugees' feedback on the quality, sufficiency, utilization and effectiveness of the assistance items they receive. The underlying principle behind the process is linked to accountability, as well as a commitment to improve the quality and relevance of support provided, and related services. UNHCR increasingly uses Cash-Based Interventions (CBIs) as a preferred modality for delivering assistance, offering greater dignity and choice to forcibly displaced and stateless persons in line with UNHCR's core protection mandate. In order to ensure that the cash assistance provided meets the intended programme objectives and that desired outcomes are achieved, UNHCR conducts regular post-distribution and outcome monitoring with a sample or all of refugee recipients.
Kazakhstan
The survey is conducted in Aktau, Almaty, Karagandy, Nur-Sultan, Pavlodar and Shymkent.
Households
The total population spans all beneficiaries subject to the Cash Based Intervention.
Sample survey data [ssd]
UNHCR
The survey's objective was to deliver data of all refugee households that were beneficiaries of cash-based interventions implemented in the last quarter of 2020. The total number of households that received cash-based interventions in that period was 115 and all recipients were reached out to.
Computer Assisted Telephone Interview [cati]
No sample weights were calculated, because all recipients were surveyed.
