Transforming humanitarian aid delivery with UNICEF's HOPE
Understanding the client’s vision
UNICEF wanted to streamline cash transfers for humanitarian aid
UNICEF is dedicated to optimizing the process of cash transfers for humanitarian aid, reflecting its commitment to providing effective support to vulnerable families. Humanitarian cash transfers represent one of the most efficient ways by which UNICEF brings tangible relief and empowerment to affected families.
To facilitate this, UNICEF wanted to develop a digital tool, The Humanitarian Cash Operations and Programme Ecosystem (HOPE), to ensure that data in their humanitarian cash transfer programs are protected and safe.

Challenges
Fragmented data management
Prior to HOPE development aid distribution processes suffered from fragmented data management, making identifying and registering beneficiaries accurately and efficiently difficult
Analog payment systems
Analog payment systems led to increase risk of delays in fund disbursements, negatively impacting the lives of those in need.
Limited transparency and tracking
Challenges to monitor the effectiveness of aid distribution and maintaining accountability.
Lack of a centralized platform
The absence of a centralized platform hindered the efficient management and risk informed implementation of cash transfer programs
To support UNICEF’s aims for humanitarian cash transfers, UNICEF partnered with Kellton to develop an innovative web app called Humanitarian cash Operations and Programme Ecosystem (HOPE), focusing on seamless beneficiary registration, targeting, and payment disbursement whilst implementing new data analytics tools, integrated payment systems, and APIs. As a result, UNICEF enhanced aid distribution efficiency, improved transparency and accountability, and increased beneficiary reach.
