The Global Cash for Protection (C4P) Dashboard aims to map and consolidate C4P programming worldwide, while strengthening evidence, learning, and visibility across the sector.
A significant amount of valuable knowledge already exists across humanitarian responses, but much of it remains scattered across reports, proposals, evaluations, monitoring data, and internal documents. The dashboard will bring this information together into a shared global repository of projects and MEAL findings, helping practitioners identify trends, compare approaches, access practical examples, and strengthen future programme design.
A phased evidence-building approach
The initiative follows a phased approach.
The first phase focuses on broad data collection and global mapping. The objective is to cast a wide net and include as many relevant projects as possible in the dashboard.
During the second phase, selected projects will be reviewed in greater depth to identify particularly relevant or analytically useful examples for inclusion in an evidence-building report and other learning outputs.
Types of projects included
We aim to capture the full spectrum of Cash and Protection programming, including:
- Protection mainstreaming within cash programming, including MPCA programmes that incorporate protection-sensitive approaches, protection outcomes, referrals, risk monitoring, or relevant MEAL data;
- Integrated Cash and Protection programmes; and
- Stand-alone Cash for Protection interventions.
A simplified contribution process
Contributing organizations are asked to share existing project documents and available MEAL data, such as proposals, reports, final evaluations, monitoring tools, and monitoring findings.
The C4P Task Team will then carry out the data extraction, structuring, and integration directly. All information will be shared with the contributing organization for review and validation before publication.
Contribute to the initiative
Interested in contributing? Please complete this short form to join the Global Cash for Protection Evidence Initiative and have your project or projects featured in the global C4P dashboard, with the possibility of also being included in an evidence-building report scheduled for publication in early 2027. We will contact you shortly afterwards to guide you through the first operational steps, which will be kept simple and light.
