Post-distribution monitoring (PDM) is the means through which the organization can assess whether the beneficiaries of a project have received their assisted supports, such as entitled cash payments, or not. Working with TAYAR Nepal’s Implementing Grantees (IGs) and Financial Service Providers (FSPs), WVIN has been providing technical assistance to ensure need-based cash and voucher programming in TAYAR Nepal program municipalities. In that connection, there were two modalities used to assist beneficiaries with cash: Cash for Work (CfW) and Conditional Cash Grants. Of these two modalities of assistance, the Conditional Cash Grants project has almost been at the completion stage of implementation at this moment, and therefore a PDM is specifically designed and conducted for the same. The PDM was conducted with the following objectives:

• To assess how timely and effectively the intervention could address the needs of the most vulnerable families and women
• To assess the satisfaction level of beneficiaries with the conditional cash grants that they received
• To measure the utility of the conditional grant
• To draw key lessons and recommendations for future programming

The PDM was conducted after providing brief training to team members coupled with a simulation exercise as a trial test of the tools.
