UNHCR s Cash-Based Interventions in Colombia
Format
CONTEXT
Cash-based interventions (CBI) are a cost-effective assistance modality used by UNHCR to improve access to basic needs and reduce protection risks.
CBI provide a greater degree of choice, dignity, and empowerment to beneficiaries, enabling local and economic integration to the benefit of people of concern and host communities.
Colombia is home to the largest number of Venezuelan refugees and migrants in the world, displaced by the socioeconomic and political crisis in their homeland. Nearly 82% resort to negative coping strategies to satisfy basic needs.
