The growth of cash as part of Shelter and NFI has been steady over the last 10-years and is only likely to continue.  There is a wealth of resource material available and specialist organisations like Cash Learning Partnership and over 70 documents listed on the GSC’s Working Group section of their website under the Shelter and Cash Working Group.  This Section has been trimmed back to just six documents to set the scene for Cash.

• 4Ci: GSC 2016 – Cash Position Paper. This 12-page document is the starting point for any reading on the subject.
• 4Cii: GSC - Wash and Shelter Cash Advocacy Paper. Produced by the two global Clusters, this short advocacy paper for increasing the use of CBT programming sets out the positions of both Clusters.
• 4Ciii: GSC 2016 - Cash and Impact on Information Management. Although this resource document is not targeted at IMs, this reviews the impact of using more Cash upon existing approaches to information management, which historically has focussed towards the provision of in-kind goods. Essential reading for CCs who want to successfully interface with IMs.
• 4Civ: Ukraine 2017: Guidance on Monetization in the Shelter/NFI Humanitarian Response in Ukraine. This 19-page document brings together the experience of using cash in Ukraine and covers several cash based activities such as cash-for-rent and cash repairs.
• 4Cv: Nepal 2015 – Technical Annex Cash for Shelter. A good resource for planning a cash-based intervention against the backdrop of the 2015 Nepal earthquake. Finishes with hyperlinks to other resources.
• 4Cvi: Afghanistan 2015 - ECHO Guidelines for Cash for Shelter. These ECHO guidelines offer the point of view of the donor. At 43 pages, it is a comprehensive guide from the donor and has been applied to all of their funded programmes and offers many takeaways for Clusters producing their own guidelines and technical support documents.
