The C4P Global Dashboard aims to map and consolidate Cash for Protection (C4P) programming globally, while strengthening evidence, learning, and visibility across the sector.

A significant amount of valuable C4P knowledge already exists across humanitarian responses, but much of it remains fragmented across reports, proposals, evaluations, and internal documents. The dashboard aims to bring this information together into a shared global repository of projects and MEAL findings, helping practitioners identify trends, compare approaches, access 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 mapping. The objective is to “cast a wide net” and feature as many relevant projects as possible within the dashboard. This initial collection process also serves as a screening and curation exercise for the broader Evidence Building Initiative.

In a second phase, selected projects will be reviewed more deeply to identify particularly relevant or analytically useful examples for future evidence-building and learning outputs.

Types of projects included

We are interested in capturing the full spectrum of Cash and Protection programming, including:

Mainstreamed Protection within Cash Programming

Including MPCA programmes with protection-sensitive approaches, protection outcomes, referrals, risk monitoring, or relevant MEAL data. These programmes are particularly valuable because MPCA interventions are often among the largest and best-monitored CVA programmes globally, offering strong comparative learning opportunities.

Integrated Cash and Protection Programmes

Programmes combining CVA and protection interventions to jointly achieve protection outcomes and support people to meet their essential needs safely, with dignity, and without resorting to harmful coping strategies.

Stand-Alone Cash for Protection Interventions

Cash assistance specifically designed within a protection programme to prevent, mitigate, or respond to protection risks.

A simplified contribution process

Organizations simply share existing project documents and available MEAL data, such as:

• proposals,
• reports,
• evaluations,
• summaries,
• monitoring tools or findings.

The Task Team then conducts the data extraction, structuring, and integration work directly, before validation by the contributing organization.

Contribute to the initiative

We welcome contributions, feedback, and suggestions from all organizations implementing Cash and Protection programming globally.
