Cash-Based Transfers

Cash-Based Transfers refer to the direct provision of money to individuals or families in need, usually by governments, NGOs, or aid organizations. The goal is to support basic needs like food, shelter, or healthcare, allowing recipients to decide how best to use the funds according to their priorities. This approach promotes dignity, flexibility, and local economies, as beneficiaries can purchase what they need most rather than receiving specific goods. Cash-based transfers are efficient and can adapt quickly during crises such as disasters or economic hardship, enhancing the resilience and well-being of vulnerable populations.
