Global humanitarian reform

At the global level, we provide people affected by crisis with practical ways to assess and influence humanitarian practice. How do people see cash transfers relative to other forms of aid? How could provision of cash be improved? What are we learning about progress towards the participation revolution, and how can we get aid agencies to listen more closely to the views of affected communities? By discussing hot humanitarian topics with those directly affected by crisis, and aggregating their views from thousands of conversations across the humanitarian space, we offer vulnerable communities a powerful way to improve humanitarian performance and hold aid providers to account.

Cash Barometer

The potential of cash transfer programming has been demonstrated many times over. But how does the humanitarian “cash revolution” present itself to its intended beneficiaries? What concerns do affected people have, and how can their perspectives help inform a more effective roll-out of cash-based assistance? To find out, we partnered with the German Federal Foreign Office to launch the Cash Barometer.
