Executive Summary This report summarizes the results of the post distribution monitoring (PDM) conducted in September
2017 with Internally Displaced People (IDPs) receiving RRM Kits provided by a consortium consisting of
three lead agencies (UNICEF, WFP & UNFPA) and five implementing partners (NRC, WEO, SIF, RIRP &
UIMS). The PDM was intended to assess the effectiveness and appropriateness of RRM response in the
country and make recommendations to the consortium partners through careful analysis and evaluation
of information obtained from the assessment aimed at improving the service delivery quality of overall
RRM response.
To measure the effectiveness of distributions on the recipient population, data was gathered at the
household level through specific indicators. In total, 80 beneficiary households were interviewed in 04
governorates.
Overall, the results of the PDM exercise highlighted the distribution process to be effective and
successful. The data analysis revealed that beneficiaries are satisfied with the content, quality, quantity
and durability of the kits in addition to the broader distribution process.
Survey Objectives This Joint RRM post distribution monitoring survey was undertaken to critically review the distributions
carried out by the consortium and its partners in Iraq against defined indicators. The survey findings will
be used as a tool to inform future programmme planning in the areas where RRM partners are currently
operational (i.e. Anbar, Salah Al-din, Mosul and Kirkuk).
Household Demographics • Eighty (80) household respondents were surveyed during the current PDM cycle, which were
representing a HH size of 567 Individuals (161 Women, 135 Males, 130 Girls and 141 boys).
• Composition of HH members was as below
o Overall, 49% Males and 51% Females.
o 48% Children (Under 18) - including 52% Boys and 48% Girls.
o 52% Adults (above 18) - including 46% Males and 54% Females.

Methodology The survey population for the PDM consisted of IDP children, men and women, residing in the
governorates of Ninewa, Kirkuk, Anbar and Salah Al-din, where UNICEF is currently operational as a
RRM consortium lead. The targeted sampling consisted of 20 households in each location, while 80 HHs
were interviewed in total. Sample selection was based on simple random sampling technique. For each
location, the responded were selected randomly in camp and out of camp locations.

ensured that no names were being registered for the survey to ensure confidentiality.
Data Management and Analysis All quantitative data analysis was carried out using Kobo toolbox. The raw data was cleaned before its
