Asia-Pacific: Cash Working Group Preparedness activities
Asia-Pacific: Presence of CWGs in Country
The Asia-Pacific Regional Cash Working Group (RCWG) is a forum that assists national CWGs and country teams via technical support/surge, for cash preparedness actions or ongoing operations, as well as a platform to bring together experts at the regional and national level to share information, exchange learning, develop guidance material, and support their application at national level.
The RCWG is co-led by WFP, OCHA, and IFRC and supported by NORCAP/CashCap with interagency cash coordinators / technical advisors at the regional and national levels in key countries in the region. The group includes members from the country CWGs and regional stakeholders, including donors, regional entities, representatives from the UN's regional offices, the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, NGOs, and other stakeholders engaged in cash assistance.
The Asia-Pacific RCWG, acting as a regional forum for support, collaboration, and learning, follows three (draft) strategic objectives for 2024:
SO1: support non-IASC countries through RCOs to strengthen cash coordination arrangements in high-risk countries.
SO2: support the development of national inter-sectoral cash frameworks for Anticipatory Action
SO3: perform a technical advisory and support role for national CWGs engaged in ongoing operations (IASC activation / HPC countries)
