Provisions on when and how to use cash assistance as a tool in GBV case management need to be carefully considered in order to mitigate any associated risks and avoid negative unintended consequences of cash assistance. As such, this UNFPA Guidance has the purpose of guiding and supporting GBV and cash practitioners in assessing, designing, implementing, and integrating cash assistance in GBV case management programming in a safe and efficient manner. The Guidance is the result of extensive feedback from cash recipients, their caseworkers, and implementing partners (IPs) in the field.

For examples of UNFPA's integration of cash assistance into GBV case management services, see the following reports:

• From Risk to Choice: Cash within GBV Case Management in Jordan
• Integrating Cash Assistance into GBV Case Management: Lebanon case study
• Women and Girls Choose: Cash in GBV Case Management Saves Lives
• Cash within GBV Case Management for Women and Adolescent Girls in Colombia
• Cash Assistance for GBV Survivors Receiving Case Management in Indonesia
• Cash within GBV Case Management in Honduras
