Implementing Cash-based Interventions
The response to humanitarian crisis or emergency situations has, in most cases, taken the form of commodity (food, shelter, seeds and tools and a variety of other necessary goods, classed collectively by humanitarian agencies as ‘non-food items’) distributions to affected populations. However, a growing body of experience and literature shows an interest in alternatives to inkind distributions, where people are given cash or vouchers instead, which they use to acquire the items they need. In this manual, these are broadly called “cash-based interventions2”.
