I. INTRODUCTION

A. Background: Country Experience in Cash Transfer Programming

The Cash Working Group (CwG) of Cox Bazar (CXB) supports the implementation of cash and market-based programming. As such, its focus is to create an enabling environment for strategic, technical and operational engagement of stakeholders in cash transfer programming in the Rohingya Crisis Response. More information on the Terms of Reference for CxB CwG can be accessed on the CwG drive.

B. ’Recruiting’ a co-chair for the CWG in Cox’s Bazar: The Rationale

The Cash Working Group has been recognised as a necessary platform where important context-based input from stakeholders can be captured, shared with the community of Cash Based Intervention (CBI) practitioners and fed into cash transfer programming. At present, the working group, along with the Cash Coordinator, are hosted within the InterSector Coordination Group (ISCG). To create more ownership by the participants, CXB CwG would like to ‘recruit’ a co-chair with the aim to assist in bringing the voices of other key stakeholders into discussions, such as the government and the private sector, in the form of financial service providers (FSPs).
