Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) activities are designed to assess the ability of refugees living in camps to meet their food and other basic needs through the in-camp e-voucher programme, track changes over time, and evaluate how the e-voucher program has supported households to ensure smooth implementation. WFP conducts in-camp PDM surveys for the Syrian-populated camps bi-annually, in the first and third quarters of the year. These surveys gather data on household food consumption, dietary diversity, coping mechanisms, and spending patterns, which are used to assess the overall well-being of households and support evidence-based program interventions. PMMs are conducted both in the camp contracted markets as well as noncontracted markets nearby the camp, to monitor product pricing in camps, align it with local market trends, and make comparative analyses based on the value of the food basket provided.

OSM are conducted in the contracted markets to ensure compliance with the contractual obligations. The OSM focus on product diversity, quality, hygiene and pesticide regulations, cashier waiting lines, receipt delivery, waiting line, crowdedness and other aspects that are important for the programme to deliver a dignified service to the beneficiaries.
