Ukraine Cash Working Group, Task-Team 1: Targeting - Aug 2022

Overview: The scale-up of Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) is currently the preferred response modality to cover basic needs of affected populations wherever operationally feasible across Ukraine. The multi-sectoral response seeks to use multi-purpose cash to address the basic humanitarian needs of affected people in a holistic manner.

Targeting framework: Recognizing that resources are limited, and that certain individuals face more risks, this guiding targeting frame seeks to provide a prioritization of those with specific needs for MPCA in Ukraine. The targeting framework covers two key components: first, those who are in rapid emergency situations and require fast, ad-hoc MPCA disbursements, and secondly, those in emergency settings who require cash disbursements due to protracted displacement, and those meeting certain social-economic vulnerability criteria.
