Cash-Based Responses in Emergency

Humanitarian Policy Group, Overseas Development Institute

This paper is the final product of a three-year research project looking into when the option of giving people money instead of, or as well as, in-kind assistance is feasible and appropriate.  The report argues that cash-based responses should play a growing role in humanitarian response to crises.  Recognizing the impact emergencies can have on family stability, we include it in this listserv to contribute to understanding of how families and communities can be strengthened in emergency contexts.
