•   Creating and communicating documented evidence-base for cash programming.
•   To successfully launch and implement a regional Hub for cash programming, the following must be kept in mind:
•   Each CO has individual needs, there is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach/solution to be used;
•   Planning should include a focus on research and learning and documenting/sharing this research /learning:
