Ivory Coast
Post-Election Violence - Humanitarian Crisis 2011
After nearly ten years of civil strife following elections in 2002, the disputed presidential election of November 2010 again plunged Côte d'Ivoire into political violence. Hundreds of people were killed and thousands displaced, resulting in a humanitarian crisis in the capital, Abidjan, and in the West of the country.
In June 2011 the situation in the West of the country had begun to stabilise, and humanitarian actors actors became keen to engage in cash and/or voucher activities to complement in-kind support and jump-start economic recovery in the region. CaLP deployed a short-term cash focal point to Man in order to support actors implementing or planning cash-based interventions, with a focus on developing a sustainable coordination mechanism and reinforce the technical capacity of humanitarian programmes.
