Cash Based Interventions (CBIs)

Last updated:
Key points
  • Use the “why-not cash approach”: give CBI priority consideration over in-kind assistance or justify reasons for not using CBI
  • Develop CBI and related tools at the preparedness stage and include CBI in contingency plans
  • Establish a multi-functional team to oversee CBI
  • Establish SOPs for CBI and procure FSP at early stages
  • Lead and coordinate with other actors (including through Cash Working Group); establish strong collaboration with HQ and the Regional Bureau
