Basic Assistance in Crises (BASIC): Cash and Livelihoods in Contexts of Conflict

Document Type: Reports and Assessments
Document Language: English
A paper written by researchers from the Institute of Development Studies at the University of Sussex examines the role of cash-plus programming (including graduation) for livelihoods, income, protection, and health outcomes in contexts of different conflict intensity. They conduct a comprehensive review and analysis of 42 cash-plus programmes in 17 fragile and conflict-affected countries. This review maps key features in design and implementation of social and humanitarian cash assistance augmented by livelihood support across FCAS. Among the key findings is the large variation in the objectives, coverage, duration, 'plus' components and impacts among the 42 cash-plus programs reviewed. The model introduced by the researchers implies that different combinations of cash-plus components might be better suited to certain contexts defined by the intensity of conflict experienced as well as the strength (or maturity) of the existing social protection system.
