Purpose of Activity/Assignment:

**How can you make a difference**?**

Scope of Work:
In response to Typhoon Yagi and subsequent floods and storms, and upon the requests from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to support affected provinces, UNICEF has been providing critical and life-saving support to the government of Viet Nam to prepare for, take early action, and respond to the emergency. Against this backdrop, and with the increasing request from the government about cash support in response to Typhoon Yagi and subsequent floods, UNICEF Viet Nam has been working with VDDMA/MARD to roll out the UNICEF supported humanitarian cash transfer in affected provinces of Viet Nam.

Worldwide, cash transfers in humanitarian settings are increasingly seen as an efficient, cost-effective and timely means of strengthening resilience of affected communities facing a shock. Through cash support, the affected communities coping mechanisms will be supported towards eliminating the need to resort to negative coping strategies with often have long-term negative impact on the well-being of families and children.

Where markets are functional, the provision of humanitarian cash transfers has been demonstrated to be an effective mechanism to promote well-being of families, stimulate the local economy and speed up recovery and reconstruction efforts.
