This document outlines lessons learned from a joint UNHCR/WFP project in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) with the aim to, with Financial Service Providers (FSPs), identify and mitigate the risks of abuse of power in cash assistance, including through cash in hand, pre-paid cards and mobile money.
Conducted in November 2018, the mission engaged a wide range of stakeholders, including FSPs, national regulators, donors, humanitarian organisations and members of the cash working group. Consultations were held in Kinshasa and with cash recipients in the Mulongwe refugee site, South Kivu.
