An important and thought-provoking piece about #cashforwork by former Mercy Corps colleagues Mohamed Ireg, Rachel Shah, Sandrine Chetail-Armour, and Kristin Smart. I found the ethical implications section particularly insightful but the whole thing is worth a read. I'm looking forward to Part 2! "CfW is primarily used in contexts where poverty and crisis-stricken households need cash to meet their basic needs, which raises the question: why not use unconditional cash? Are we creating cash-for-work models only because we feel people should work to be able to receive cash? If so, aid agencies run precariously close to turning the concept of “cash-for-work” into “work-for-cash,” resembling a form of coerced labor that requires highly vulnerable individuals to complete tasks just to meet their basic needs for survival. CfW can also exclude vulnerable, hard to reach, or marginalized groups who are unable to work from accessing much-needed cash."
I'm just going to be honest and say that I'm really proud of have been part of this piece of work. It may look like "just" a blog post that will literally take you ten minutes to read - but it's more than that. Behind the scenes there was a lot of conversation, research and wrestling over a position that we all felt it was important to take, but which we also needed to do our due diligence on, given how controversial it may be. So without further ado - and with enormous thanks to Mohamed and Kristin Smart from our cash team, Sandrine Chetail-Armour, Mercy Corps' Senior Director for Economic Opportunities, and everyone else who inputted, here are five reasons NOT to do cash for work programming. Have at it! https://lnkd.in/epVx_n-Y
