When a disaster strikes, the first thing that people need is money to protect themselves and then to rebuild their lives.  Delivering unrestricted cash is key to giving people the flexibility to buy what they need and is portable if they are on the move. WFP's use of CBT in emergencies has grown significantly, yet its use in the first phase of the response remains modest. With a focus on preparedness, speed, reduced requirements, lean processes, assurance and a higher risk appetite, WFP can ensure its emergency response using CBT remains simple, fast, flexible, and adaptable.  Knowing how to use and adapt everyday technology so that people can sign up for assistance quickly and easily is key to ensuring that the food or cash goes to the right people. How we collect and manage people's personal information sets the stage for our relationship with them throughout the humanitarian response. WFP is using new agile and context specific approaches to "Identity Management" in emergencies, that are designed to ensure that WFP knows who is receiving the assistance, and that the experience of receiving assistance from WFP is a positive one.    THE ROLE WFP is recruiting a Head of Field Support (Delivery Assurance) to be part of the Delivery Solutions and Services team in support of WFP's Cash operations globally.
