A Minimum Expenditure Basket (MEB) is a tool used by cash and vouchers assistance (CVA) actors to: support the calculation of the transfer amount of a multipurpose/multisectoral cash grant, contribute to better vulnerability analysis and monitoring, and improve collaboration. What makes an MEB unique and worthwhile is its binding power. When different agencies coordinate to jointly build an MEB they can agree on some of the most complex and politically sensitive topics of humanitarian action.
Different knowledge and skills are required for achieving the core objectives and the additional benefits of an MEB. CaLP has designed the following suite of tools to support practitioners to achieve all of those objectives. These tools have been designed to be practical and highly interactive aids whereby the user creates their own experience. They are modular, so can be used either as one progressive tool or separately. They also contain links to other resources.
