The survey consists of two parts. The first part of the survey measures the impact of COVID-19 on refugees' knowledge, behavior and health as well as refugees' economic livelihoods and the second part monitors the latest cash assistance programme. As a response to COVID-19, UNHCR has since the start of the pandemic launched multiple new cash grants and expanded existing programs. UNHCR's cash assistance complements governments' efforts by contributing with an additional safety net for vulnerable refugees and others left behind. Also during the course of 2021, UNHCR has continued to support the COVID-19 emergency response with cash assistance. UNHCR uses PDM as a mechanism to collect refugees' feedback on the quality, sufficiency, utilization and effectiveness of the assistance items they receive. 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 the recipients.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2021-07-13","end":"2021-09-09","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Nepal","abbreviation":"NPL"}],"geog_coverage":"The survey covers Eastern Nepal (Pathari sanichare and Beldangi refugee camps) and refugees living in Kathmandu.","analysis_unit":"Households","universe":"The sample universe covers all urban refugee households (239) living in Kathmandu as well as all 2,409 Bhutanese refugee households living in Pathari sanichare and Beldangi camps.","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"The household survey consists of two parts, each with 7 survey sections:\n\nPART 1: Socioeconomic Assessment\n1.
