This briefing paper will provide clarity on, raise awareness of, and support use of 'cash first' approaches as the primary response to tackling food insecurity. This will include examples and clarity on how community food initiatives are currently supporting this, ideas on how to join with others locally to further support cash first approaches, and address dignity principles. It is linked to SG policy ambition on ending the need for food banks.
