Pacific Feasibility studies CTP in the Pacific a Feasibility Scoping Study – CaLP, DFAT and WFP Looked broadly at Pacific Island Countries and in-depth in Fiji and Tonga Key Findings: Remittances, social safety nets, micro-finance and small grants widely used Social, cultural and gender-related issues underpin concern about appropriateness Markets are not well integrated and lack competitiveness; information and data on markets are limited; access and supply chain challenges Small range of FSPs, however growth in remittance companies, mobile money and commercial banking Recommendations from the study are being used to support next steps of CTP preparedness, including country specific research and analysis and activities being undertaken by the Pacific Regional Cash Working Group Looked broadly at Pacific Island Countries and in-depth in Fiji and Tonga ; interviews with Government, INGOs, FSPs, UN Agencies Acceptance varies between countries PIC least banked regions in world Five key recommendations Conduct country specific CTP research and analysis, identify data needs and information gaps Include CTP preparedness in DRM coordination structures and planning Enhance tools to guide programme decision making that consider CTP Ensure CTP is designed to build resilience and address sustainability and dependency concerns Improve information and knowledge on gender-sensitive programming techniques to ensure CTP properly address gender dynamics and supports marginalized groups

Pacific Feasibility studies Vanuatu CTP Feasibility Study – FAO, WFP and Oxfam Research conducted in 6 locations, including urban, rural and remote communities to review and support operational preparedness for CTP Initial findings and next steps: Strong indications that CTP could be feasible in some communities however further research is required An in-depth integrated supply chain and market analysis will be conducted at national and sub-national level Data collection will be expanded including urban, peri-urban, rural and remote areas Generation of cash transfer/in-kind modality maps as well as market access and supply chain flow mapping Financial service provider capacity assessments to identify ability to rapidly scale up Operational modelling to identify what modalities are most feasible and where From recommendations of CaLP Pacific Study country specific feasibility studies being conducted Research through KII, household surveys – validation workshop Topics included: food security, nutrition, livelihoods, agriculture production activities, markets and supply chain, gender and protection and access and use of FSP key recommendations market and supply chain analysis geographic scope of the study to cover additional communities throughout Vanuatu – nationwide, if possible.  in-depth analysis is required to fill gaps in research at a national and sub-national level, to identify unmet primary data needs and to ensure that basic information to support programming is available if and when a disaster occurs. Undertaking a nationally representative study that includes reviewing operational models would identify where cash response is feasible in Vanuatu and provide recommendations for appropriate relief and recovery amounts, assess service provider capacity and understand community preferences.

Pacific Feasibility studies Solomon Islands Cash Feasibility Study – WFP and FAO (local NGO counterpart TBC) Aims to Understand level of acceptance and preference of CTP Understand livelihoods, nutrition, agriculture and food security Analyse accessibility to markets and local market dynamics Analyse the accessibility and use of financial service providers Assess the supply chain and capacity to meet increased demand Bridging Humanitarian Assistance and Social Protection Systems – WFP and World Bank Study to review current Social Protection systems in Fiji and provide recommendations for strengthening Social Protection systems to be more shock responsive Report currently being finalised Gauge the level of acceptance and preference of use of CBT in the country taking into consideration traditional beliefs and gender issues Understand livelihoods, nutrition, agricultural and food security characteristics of the different areas Understand current social and emergency assistance Analyze the accessibility to markets and the local market dynamics Analyze the accessibility and use of financial services Assess the commercial supply chain capacity to absorb increased demand  

Pacific Regional Cash Working Group PRCWG focusing on 5 countries (Fiji, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Samoa and Tonga) Participating in Regional Inter-cluster Coordination Group meetings/activities Undertaking a regional mapping exercises to: Identify CTP capacity as well as identifying key steps partners are taking to strengthen own organisational capacity Identify where and how CTP has been used in region Capacity building and training CalP training - CTP Fundamentals ; CTP Strategic Planning and Decision Making Further training needs assessment Collaborating with partners to develop a regional CTP guidance note Endorsed by the PHT as a formal coordination mechanism, RIICG to support intercluster coordination and cash preparedness – invited to participate in the country preparedness package – scenario based preparedness (response needs, capacity,) identifying key steps each organisation in the PRCWG are taking to strengthen their own organisational capacity which will help the working group identify gaps and opportunities to support organisations

Challenges and Opportunities Expression of interest by partners to consider CTP as an option and willingness to learn more Needs, challenges, constraints and opportunities vary by country Different partners, capacities and priorities in Pacific Island Countries Operational requirements and constraints Partner participation and meaningful engagement with PRCWG Further advocacy on how and where CTP may be appropriate Geography Culture, gender dynamics, acceptance Varies use of cash, access to markets, liquidity, Government structures, requirements for implementation How to engage more participation with the PRCWG and how do we engage in meaningful ways with government
