ASSESSING VALUE FOR MONEY IN PRE-ARRANGED FINANCING FOR DISASTERS: A PRACTICAL FRAMEWORK

This guidance note has been developed to help the increasing number of countries and organisations that are considering or using pre-arranged financing instruments but are unsure how to approach Value for Money (VfM) analysis. The note aims to provide the reader with an overview of VfM and how it relates specifically to pre-arranged financing, as well as presenting a flexible framework the Centre has developed to approach the process of conducting VfM analysis.

The content is mainly based on the Centre’s experience of supporting national governments and international agencies with VfM analyses . It also captures lessons from other published VfM studies, and perspectives gathered in interviews with people who use and develop similar studies.
