CFW DISTRIBUTION MECHANISMS
Mobile phone cash transfer (GCASH) Opportunity: use of technology widely accepted; secure transfer of cash.
Challenge: limited network coverage; lack of knowledge on ‘cashing-out’ (respondents regarded the process as long and tedious).

SOME CONSIDERATIONS IN USING CASH ASSISTANCE IN MINDANAO (CONFLICT AREAS)
• Food availability (market assessment)
• Means of transfer/cash infrastructure
• Transporting cash (high-risk areas)
• Safety and security risk assessment
• Low literacy levels require more focused/hands-on training
• Lack of valid identification (no birth certificate, no ID)
