Unified cash+ framework of Bangladesh

The Humanitarian Coordination Task Team (HCTT) Nexus Strategy for climate-related disasters is designed to align with the National Plan for Disaster Management (NPDM) 2021-25 in Bangladesh. As a part of this strategy, one of the significant elements includes developing a unified Cash+ package. This package is an innovative tool that combines cash transfers with other forms of assistance designed to meet the diverse needs of the people both in anticipation of predictable hazard events, i.e., monsoon floods, as well as during the response phase. The unified cash+ package aims to provide more effective, timely and flexible support, bridging the gap between immediate humanitarian response and long-term recovery. This approach described in this framework is based on the monsoon flood scenario for anticipatory actions, but the methodology applies to anticipatory actions for other fast-onset hazards.
