CHSCM 3.0 - Unit 1 - SCM in the Humanitarian World

Adapted from the definition of financial inclusion
by the Center for Financial Inclusion
The purpose of the inclusion portion is to confirm beneficiary access to the respective services
(banks, financial service providers, payment service providers, retailers, traders, markets, etc.) that
may be used to implement CTP. Initial data gathered during the macro assessments may indicate
that the country’s population has access to the services, but do the target beneficiaries have the
same access? This must be confirmed and included in the response analysis. Further, data
gathered on specific service providers should feed into the micro portion of the assessments, as well
as the vendor rosters of potential suppliers.
The market systems in which CTP projects are implemented are extremely complex. The staff
designing and implementing these projects must have the necessary analytical skills and flexibility,
which may differ significantly from their traditional roles.
As mentioned earlier in the unit, the impact to the organization is that staff need different skill sets
and operational structures and processes must be more flexible than previously required.
Management is being pushed to resource the added capacity, as well as realign internal systems
and processes to support the changing operational needs.
While Management is accountable for ensuring each function has the resources and capacities
required to perform its required tasks, each function is responsible for identifying and
communicating its needs. It is therefore essential for functions to include and consider this
perspective when considering whether or not CTP is feasible.
Later in the Assessment and Analysis phase, risks will need to be consolidated and analyzed, prior to
making a recommendation to Management on the modality. It is useful to record identified risks as
assessments are conducted.
Using a table with the perspectives across the top and a line for each assessment is a simple way to
tabulate identified risks and know that you are considering the areas from every angle.
