Multipurpose cash outcome indicators: Final draft for testing

Multipurpose cash (MPC) is a type of assistance intended to enable people to meet their basic needs through local markets as they see fit. The goals of humanitarian assistance are not modality-specific (e.g. cash, in-kind); they are defined by the context of the response and identified humanitarian needs. As part of the Grand Bargain’s commitment to “increase the use and coordination of cash-based programming,” the need for better and more consistent measurement of the outcomes to which MPC contributes was identified.
