November developments
The distribution of UNHCR-supported ATM cards for winterization started nationwide at the beginning of November. By the end of the month, more than 43,632 refugee households received ATM cards charged with $100 for heating fuel (for one month), as well as $50 to purchase a stove (if not distributed in-kind).
A baseline survey on cash assistance was conducted among households given ATM cards as part of the winterization programme, which will assist UNHCR to evaluate the programme at the end of the season and provide recommendations for next year’s programme.
The final evaluation phase of a year-long pilot providing 920 individuals unconditional cash grant to vulnerable households in Tripoli began this month.
