- Project Name: Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) – Response to Drought in Hiran Region
- Project Partner: Danish Emergency Relief Fund (DERF) | Development Action Network (DAN)
Tropical Consult conducted the first Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) survey in all six target villages located in the northwest of Beletweyne district. The PDM was conducted after the first round of cash had been disbursed and aimed to collect data on the end-use of cash, gender engagement, gender relations, roles, decision-making, and cash collection modalities. The PDM also gathered information on project accountability, particularly regarding complaints and the handling mechanism. The findings helped establish consumer behavior following the cash injection. For instance, it was found that 90% of the cash injected into the target households was used to procure food, while 5%, 2%, and 3% were spent on non-food items, clearing debt, and sharing among other households, families, and friends, respectively.
