What is SEND-P?
An effective approach for cash assistance
SEND-P is a shared platform that connects humanitarian organisations with financial service providers to deliver cash assistance efficiently. It standardises payment execution and reporting while preserving agency autonomy.
Objectives
SEND-P is guided by clear objectives that promote sustainable systems, recipient-centered delivery, and open, collaborative participation to improve efficiency, equity, and long-term resilience in cash assistance.
Strengthen Social Protection
Leverage humanitarian cash delivery to support the development of sustainable social protection systems, avoiding dependence on parallel structures.
Deliver Recipient-Centered
Access
Prioritize secure, convenient payment experiences by promoting transfers, payment choice, and agency autonomy in program implementation.
Enable Collective Participation
Operate as a public good with open participation, democratic governance, and a level playing field where providers deliver quality and collaborate to solve delivery challenges.
Process
SEND-P uses a streamlined process to deliver cash assistance efficiently, accurately, and with full accountability.

Step 1
Identify and Validate Beneficiaries
Each organization identifies the target community and prepares a beneficiary list. Records are deduplicated before payments are initiated.

Step 2
Select Provider and Disburse Assistance
A suitable financial provider is selected. Payment instructions are approved and assistance is delivered to verified recipients.

Step 3
Reconcile and Confirm Delivery
Provider execution data is matched against payment instructions. Transfers are reconciled and SEND-P records are updated.
