Introduction
The gFSC Cash & Markets WG (CMWG) main purpose is to support Food Security clusters through development of tools and guidance and global advocacy for country level needs. In view of this, in April 2015 the CMWG mapped and gathered information on cash activities and cash WGs at country-level in which the FS clusters are involved. This information was also used to shape the agenda of the first Cluster Coordinators’ Retreat held in Rome in July 2015.
Given the momentum gained by cash transfer activities in different countries, and in order to continue and improve the support to the countries, the gFSC Cash & Markets Working Group was reactivated in December 2015 during the Global Partners’ meeting. The findings of this questionnaire thus aim to further update the information received earlier, further explore Food Security Clusters related needs and concerns in CTP and inform the activities of the CMWG in support of country needs.
The survey was sent to all active Food Security Clusters and Sectors and feedback was received from 20 countries out of 25.
