Background
Disasters resulting from natural hazards have been on the rise in the past decades. The increasing frequency and scale of these events pose mounting economic and humanitarian challenges. In countries with medium to low levels of income and weaker governance, disasters further compound existing problems of poverty and inequality and reverse development gains. It is now widely recognized that the vulnerable populations (socially, economically and geographically) are the most affected by natural hazards.
Mozambique ranks third amongst the African countries most exposed to risks from multiple weather-related hazards, e.g. periodic floods, tropical cyclones and droughts.
Within the framework of humanitarian action, cash transfer has increasingly emerged as one of the main tools for supporting processes of survival and recovery from disaster[1].
With Cash Transfer Programming (CTP) having been identified as a cross-organisational priority, and cash transfers being predominantly used as a response modality in responses across the world, COCASA (Save the Children, Oxfam and CARE) aims to build the capacity of decision makers from INGOs, NGOs and government (INGC and INAS) to be able to support their teams on CTP
Purpose and Objectives of the Consultancy
The aim of the course is to equip participants to integrate CTP into strategic programme management and coordination.
The objective of this programme is to increase awareness of Seniors managers on use of multi-purpose Cash in Emergencies to increase the uptake and effective use of CTP as a response modality and to contribute to the country’s responses being more effective, consequently helping save more lives
The specific results are:
- To improve CTP knowledge and buy in of senior managers. It’s important lack of senior management awareness and involvement in CTP as a response modality may result to compromised quality, efficiency and the speed of the response in saving lives as it may be required.
- To create an enabling environment for Mozambique humanitarian actors to discuss and understand CTP issues to help promote better and stronger coordination and collaboration on cash transfer programme.
