PECT - Practical Cash in Emergencies Training
Type of study: Face-to-face training
Date: tbc
Length of course: Five and a half days
Trainers: National and/or international trainers
Training language: English
Description
The objective of the PECT training is to operationalise cash using a scenario-based training model. Participants are taken through a scenario from the initial briefing on the unfolding disaster by the Head of Mission to the design of an appropriate cash-based intervention using a Plan of Action.
Content
- Increase general CVA knowledge
- Develop a CVA response to a disaster scenario using assessment information and response analysis tools.
- Design CVA programmes using tools for set-up and implementation, including community engagement and accountability (CEA), working with service providers, distribution and encashment.
- Incorporate risk assessment, mitigation measures and cash monitoring processes throughout the programme.
Applicability
The course is designed for a diverse, but experienced group: it is not an entry-level training course. Participants should reflect the diversity of the teams implementing CVA: support services (finance, audit and logistics), needs-assessment and programme design, surge capacity (ERU, FACT, RDRT etc) and operational programme management.
Requirements
The training requires participants to have both field level experience and to have completed the CVA Level 2 training.
