Review of Post Distribution Monitoring Tools PQWG August
Review of Post Distribution Monitoring Tools PQWG – August 2014 Ruco Van Der Merwe
Objectives • Review and analyze existing PDM tools and methodologies being used by partners • Develop common PDM template and/or methodological guidance if desired by PQWG

METHODOLOGY Common Themes • Generally conducted 1 -2 weeks following distributions. • Simple random sampling where beneficiary lists are available. • Unit of sampling: Beneficiary Household • Sample Size: – Sample 3 -10% of total beneficiary population – 90% C / +-10% CI – 95% C / +-5% CI
METHODOLOGY Questions • Given that PDMs are routine data collection mechanisms, is it realistic/useful to gather large sample sizes? • Should brevity be valued to ensure increased accuracy and predictability?
Lessons Learned • Tracking outcomes is not mainstreamed across PDMs. • Wide variation in PDM length and methodology.
Next Steps • Is there a need for PDM template which captures most frequently used elements? • Is there a need for methodological guidance? • What about market monitoring / surveillance?
