Cost efficiency and cost effectiveness workshop report

The purpose of the CE2HA workstream is to raise awareness, promote greater harmonization, and increase the use of cost analysis in humanitarian programming contexts. The scope of work for this thematic area is divided into two distinct phases. Phase 1 convened a workshop to catalogue and bring together current thinking on cost-efficiency and cost-effectiveness methodologies and applications in humanitarian assistance and develop areas of recommendation for the GB cash workstream. Following a presentation of the recommendations to GB Cash workstream, prioritized recommendations will be carried forward into Phase 2. The scope of Phase 2 is contingent upon the recommendations from Phase 1 as well as input from the GB Cash workshop. Findings and 3 recommendations from both phases will be fed back to the Grand Bargain Cash Workstream as well as Good Humanitarian Donorship Cash Workstream to be discussed and actioned as appropriate.
