Intervention rationales / principlesIntervention objective Activity examples (not an exhaustive list )

To meet critical food and non-food needs to save lives, livelihoods, and restore access to and availability of food

Food gaps can be meet through the provision of food and/or cash transfers (to purchase food). In some instances food vouchers can also be used

Critical needs to save livelihoods and restore availability of food, seeds & tools distributions, etc.

For vulnerable households, these transfers can be targeted through labour-based activitiesthat restore/create household and community assets that have a direct benefit to their longer term access to and availability of food to support their lives and livelihoods - i.e. clearing roads for market access/humanitarian assistance to reach affected populations; emergency clearing of water and drainage systems; clearing of agricultural/irrigated land, etc.

These programmes are not employment-generation schemes, but asset creation through food or cash (F/CFA)

Examples of cash as a transfer modalityIntervention objective Activity examples (not an exhaustive list ) Cluster

Provide a direct transfer to the most vulnerable to (a) cover their food gap; and/or (b) cover their critical non-food needs to improve their access to and availability of food.

These transfers can be linked to restore/create critical household and community assets through Cash for Assets (CFA).

For access to food/diversified food basket* CT to either meet part or all of the food gap.

For access to essential non-food needs * CT to purchase fertilizers, fishing nets etc.

Links to asset HH/community asset creation:*CFA for Building/repair of boats*CFA for de-silting irrigation canals*CFA for agriculture/fisheries inputs
