Project Context and Scope

The consultant\\xe2\\x80\\x99s primary responsibility is to develop an electronic version of the paper-based IOM Cash-Based Interventions (CBI) Manual in line with the procedures and guidelines from the IOM ICT Team.

The CBI Manual aims to support IOM staff interested in using CBI in their interventions according to best practices and following IOM internal procedures. The manual defines processes, procedures and standards to guide the use of cash and vouchers within IOM. It is in line with IOM\\xe2\\x80\\x99s strategy of increasing the use of CBI across the organization to address people\\xe2\\x80\\x99s needs and reduce vulnerabilities through the use of CBI modalities across IOM programmes.

The manual seeks to balance IOM\\xe2\\x80\\x99s project-based nature and the need for flexibility to operate in a variety of contexts with IOM and donor obligations. While it follows industry-standard guidelines for CBI on best practices for creating, implementing and monitoring CBI programmes, it harmonizes these with IOM policies and procedures to ensure that IOM\\xe2\\x80\\x99s minimum standards are met.

To ensure that the paper-based Manual is readily available and easily accessible to all staff members, the aim is now to turn it into online format. This will facilitate further dissemination and use of the Manual. The online CBI Manual would be a web-based application (mobile ready) with similar features as other IOM handbooks. The online manual would be available in English, French, and Spanish and include photos and graphics in line with the paper-based Manual.
