The humanitarian world has made a significant shift towards using cash to help vulnerable people meet their needs, including food security. Despite a growing evidence base, much of the collective experience is in rural areas. How can cash-based approaches meet food security needs in urban crises? Is cash different in an urban context? What are the challenges and lessons learned?

This webinar will explore the shift towards humanitarian cash programming. It will have a mixture of global perspectives and specific country program examples. There will be speakers from CRS, NRC, WFP, and the American Red Cross. Register  here.
