Abstract
This study, which is an add-on element to an existing randomised controlled trial (RCT), focuses on which refugee households are implementing COVID-19 public health measures and how unconditional cash transfers affect this. It will also explore household understanding of COVID-19, social distancing measures being implemented, and their effects on household daily life. Expected outcomes are increased understanding of both how large, unconditional cash transfers influence refugee households to implement COVID-19 public health measures, such as social distancing; and of effects of COVID-19 on the daily lives of refugee households, including whether existing programmes and messaging are effective in increasing knowledge and changing behaviours.
