it should work now yes excellent so good afternoon thank you for this chance to present an update on the cash parameter
00:00:07
as an aside i work for an organisation called ground truth solutions
00:00:10
uh we focus on helping eight agencies all over the world
00:00:15
to systematically integrate feedback from affected communities into their humanitarian programs
00:00:22
um we do this by asking perception questions to affected people
00:00:27
questions around the quality of eight the relevance of services
00:00:32
uh we ask about how they perceive their relationship with agencies
00:00:36
and whether they feel involved in decisions affecting them um and whether
00:00:41
they have the information they need to make an informed decision
00:00:45
um now we collect feedback for individual agencies um and
00:00:52
have a dialogue with agencies about what this feedback means also with communities about what they think the feedback means
00:00:58
and we also work at the response white level in some context for example after the earthquake in a pout
00:01:04
ranch we've collected feedback on the some of the response and uh currently working in
00:01:09
five countries along the migration route from syria all the way to europe
00:01:13
to see how the refugees and migrants perceive the some of the humanitarian response
00:01:20
in both uh cases the idea is that regular feedback and regular dialogue about the feedback
00:01:26
allows course corrections and allows a two for more effective humanitarian programs
00:01:33
now um we don't just collect feedback from affected communities but also uh we do surveys with
00:01:39
fuel stuff of agencies and with their implementing this and whenever we bring up
00:01:44
the topic of cash transfer programs the mood is is quite positive
00:01:50
um you see here summary from context as defenders haiti afghanistan eleven on of
00:01:56
course cats transfer programs look very different in these context but field stuff
00:02:01
tends to agree that overall cost programs contribute to better outcomes than other kinds of eight
00:02:07
the dotted line here is to neutral stance it's a scale from one to
00:02:10
five so you see people tend to agree that cash respect it
00:02:15
but of course we've heard all day that that's not really the question today the question is how do you do cash that
00:02:20
and uh how do you maximise the benefits of cash transfer program and
00:02:25
for that i think it's crucial to look at the user prospect
00:02:28
to look at the perspective of those who intend to
00:02:30
benefit from the cash a transfer program and um
00:02:36
did then see um how to best design programs
00:02:40
impact is um to that purpose we
00:02:45
designed to catch parameter together with cop and also with the help of a a few
00:02:49
individuals you present in the room and um the cash parameter is a tool that
00:02:57
asks a number of questions concerning the relevance and effectiveness of cash transfer programs
00:03:04
um it's a combination of standardised face to face
00:03:07
surveys and more qualitative more open data collection
00:03:12
we look at cash transfers both in comparison to in kind eight but
00:03:16
also in combination with in kind and and other uh eight types
00:03:20
our goal is to provide an independent and aggregated view
00:03:24
on uh this um perspective from affected people
00:03:29
but if you that can also be this aggregated for different demographic uh uh factors
00:03:35
or for different transfer modalities different transfer sizes
00:03:39
um exposure times and so on
00:03:42
we want to do this in multiple countries on a regular basis um and i wanted to
00:03:49
give you an update on where we stand today with this um we just recently launched
00:03:54
the catch parameter web page that you see out there it's a beta version
00:03:59
um uh so uh there's still a lot of things to improve
00:04:02
um but it's summarise is the first results from the pilot study we did in afghanistan
00:04:08
afghanistan is most oh some of you will know c.s mostly one off cash grants um
00:04:14
delivered us cash in hand actually using the one the system to a large degree
00:04:20
and i don't have time to go into the details of the results from afghanistan i
00:04:23
invite you to look at the data online and explore the data on your own
00:04:27
but just a few findings um to give you an idea of what we're
00:04:30
talking about uh so talking to six hundred uh people in afghanistan
00:04:37
we saw that um
00:04:40
they feel that cash doesn't meet the needs that um again you see here is
00:04:46
scale from one to five um green is positive orange and red is negative
00:04:51
and we see that the question most important uh are you most important needs met
00:04:57
um is responded to more positively by those who receive cash compared to those received other forms of eight a. but
00:05:06
um so i guess it's not surprising that there's a strong preference for cash compared to other forms
00:05:10
of eight and that we see also in other countries it's it's not a new finding
00:05:15
um but we also saw quite a strong difference between men and women with this without so
00:05:19
uh women tend to rank cash even more uh even higher
00:05:24
than maybe response and haven't even stronger preference catch
00:05:30
we also see a number of concerns coming uh
00:05:34
from the pilot in afghanistan one relates to
00:05:38
the topic of corruption and this is a problem i think in in many uh
00:05:43
parts of of gonna stand but uh when we asked how likely or we actually asked
00:05:50
our pride of papers necessary to receive eight inch access eight um
00:05:58
with all these people are quite concerned about this regardless of
00:06:01
the eight modality that those who received cash tended to ranked is
00:06:06
more likely so you see in the first coffee that
00:06:09
some forty nine percent a half of the people
00:06:12
consider this a is necessary sometimes most
00:06:16
of the time so you can always um this is the group that received cash
00:06:21
others are slightly more optimistic
00:06:26
and then we also looked i'm just as one more example
00:06:30
whether the cash revolution is supporting the participation revolution
00:06:35
two people receive cash feel more involved in eight programs and so far
00:06:40
we didn't see evidence for that in in our data um
00:06:46
what we did see is again a gender gap in that women consider it's rare that
00:06:51
they are involved in a a decisions about eight whereas men say this happens sometimes
00:06:58
and as a result women know very little about how catch programs are designed
00:07:02
targeted and implemented which has effect on on how fair they perceive it to be as well
00:07:11
so as i said i can't go into into details here but i would uh encourage you
00:07:15
to have a look at the data online much of it um requires for the research
00:07:20
and that's also what we will do we will go back to afghanistan to follow up with some of the
00:07:25
people that we interviewed um go back to some of the communities in get their perspective on the results
00:07:31
we will uh continue our dialogue with organisations working in afghanistan
00:07:36
um and at this point i would like to invite your feedback on the overall
00:07:42
model that we that we propose on this parameter um
00:07:46
we see the something that will be even more interesting when there's multiple countries
00:07:51
involved and uh when you can do all kinds of break downs
00:07:54
uh based on the data coming from multiple countries but at this point would
00:07:58
be very interested to know um are we asking the right questions
00:08:02
um are we presenting the data in and in
00:08:06
in digestible and and useful way um is
00:08:10
there perhaps stating your organisations that we should take into account in our analysis so all
00:08:15
comments relating to these questions or really any feedback at this point would be very helpful
00:08:20
and i'm confident that this will then help us make this into
00:08:25
but globally useful um source of independent data about how catches proceed
