Improving our work on Minimum Expenditure Baskets Webinar Series: Turning MEB into transfer value for MPC

While the concept of Minimum Expenditure Baskets is not new, it is still a fairly recent tool in humanitarian assistance. In the last few years, most Cash Working Groups across regions have built experience in defining these thresholds, which can be used in multiple ways: assessing and monitoring vulnerabilities, defining transfer values, identifying gaps in assistance coverage, fundraising etc.

Typically, in the construction of MEBs, hard to answer questions arise concerning both technical and operational aspects. We need to come together to draw collective and in-depth learning from recently published resources, and to share valuable field experience. The webinar series will comprise of 5-7 sessions, and attendees can join as few or as many as they like. Please join us to take part in this important conversation.

CaLP and WFP have come together with partners to organise a series of webinars, each focusing on one specific aspect of the Minimum Expenditure Basket (MEB). Join us to hear the latest information and developments in the field, and also to explore and review the tools which can assist practitioners to develop quality MEBs.
