Shelter Cash and Markets Community of Practice

Shelter, Cash and Markets Community of Practice (CoP) meeting #2 summary August 2021

Context/ Background

The Global Shelter Cluster launched the Shelter, Cash and Markets Community of Practice (CoP) in March 2021. The CoP is a place for practitioners to discuss and exchange on the use of Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) in shelter responses, and in relation to market analysis and market-based programming within the shelter sector.  The CoP was formed following the deactivation of the Cash and Shelter Working Group (active from 2015 – 2020) to enable conversations, exchange, and technical discussions to continue in a more fluid and flexible format.

The 2nd meeting of the COP was held on 03/08/2021 and had a thematic focus of shelter related market assessments.
