CORE’s mission is to empower communities in and beyond crisis. Our vision is a more equitable world in which underserved communities are prepared and can effectively respond to crisis from within. CORE has led and/or partnered with local organizations in the delivery of programs using CVA in Haiti, the Bahamas, Brazil, Ukraine, Poland, Romania and Turkey, to date in addition to responses within the U.S. CVA is CORE’s preferred response modality when context allows and is committed to quality CVA at scale to ensure timely, effective, efficient and empowering assistance to crisis-affected communities. CORE delivers CVA to individuals and households affected by crisis and aims to begin to implement group cash transfers.
Objective of the consultancy
