SOMPAD is implementing projects focusing on giving cash to people affected by disasters an effective, efficient and transparent way of providing humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable. It ensures people have the freedom, dignity and independence to decide on their own recovery.

We work closely with other humanitarian organizations, governments, academia and the private sector to improve cash programming. This includes working towards collective goals and commitments on cash programs.

Giving cash assistance to people affected by crises has increasingly shown to be a more effective, efficient and transparent means of providing vulnerable people with humanitarian assistance. It gives people the dignity, choice, and self-determination to make their own decisions on how to prepare, prioritize, and take care of their families in times of crisis. 

SOMPAD uses cash transfers to provide protection, assistance and services to vulnerable displaced persons. This allows them to meet their most pressing needs, build and support livelihoods, and facilitate voluntary return.
