1. Context and Background
Habitat for Humanity Nepal (Habitat Nepal) as part of Habitat for Humanity International network, is a non-governmental organization that has been in operation for 24 years in Nepal. HFHN has worked to fulfil a vision “where everyone has a decent place to live” serving the most vulnerable people through the provision and promotion of decent housing, water & sanitation, housing microfinance, and advocacy on land & housing rights with emphasis on gender equality and social inclusion.
Habitat Nepal has been responding to various disasters in Nepal through its expertise in shelter programming through its pathways to permanence approach supporting families affected from emergency response to recovery. With various shelter programming interventions. The government of Nepal officialized cash-based assistance soon after the earthquake of 2015 where cash support was provided to the affected families during relief, recovery, and reconstruction of homes. Since then, Cash-based interventions have been growing significantly in Nepal by various agencies and are widely accepted by the affected population, community, and local governments.
As cash interventions remain a priority in Nepal and in the region, Habitat Nepal, due to its limited capacity in this sector, is seeking to strengthen its knowledge of its staff and partners to roll out cash-based support in their shelter and housing programming initiatives.
The cash-based assistance training is being delivered with the intention to build capacity on cash support for Habitat staff, partners, and local government agencies in Nepal to strengthen their knowledge and understanding of cash delivery mechanisms. This training will help participants increase knowledge on the importance of cash-based supports, various types of cash transfers mechanisms, key issues, challenges, risks of cash deliveries in different situations, and the mitigative measures to ensure that cash transfer programs are delivered effectively.
