Review of environmental impact of Cash Based Interventions and in-kind assistance

This document presents the main findings and recommendations from an Arup review commissioned by UNHCR on the environmental impact of Cash-Based Interventions (CBIs) and in-kind assistance. It aims to fill a gap in humanitarian assistance knowledge, and to strengthen the ability of humanitarians to take informed decisions when selecting, planning and implementing assistance modalities (CBIs and Core Relief Items, CRIs), to better account for the environment in the planning and monitoring of interventions.
