Cash Information Management

​

National Societies are increasingly using Cash & Voucher Assistance (CVA) to provide aid to people in need effectively and efficiently. The IFRC has set the target of providing 50% of its humanitarian assistance through CVA by 2025. 

Cash projects request a large amount of data from registration to data sharing with financial service providers, post-distribution monitoring, community engagement, project evaluations, and reporting. The Cash Information Management service is primarily focused on cash preparedness, capacity building, and direct (emergency) operational support, and aims to enhance the ability to effectively administer and scale up CVA in an accountable way. 

“The development of a data management module for cash programmes has allowed our branches to speed up the delivery of assistance to vulnerable populations.”
