UNHCR’s Cash Programme- Model for Evidence-Based
Targeting in Jordan
• 170,000+ assessments underpin decision making system
• Reached >25,000 Syrian cases • 8,000 cases on waiting list • Can scale and respond rapidly
contingent on funding • Next step is expansion to camps

Recommendations
1. Develop more guidance and dissemination into practice in field
2. Need strategies to deal with reduced funding for Syrian situation now (and for 2015)
3. Adapt Syrian experience to future context-specific crises
4. Move towards unconditional cash – Transformational
