Statement 1 is correct: The Cash Plus Model is a social protection approach that pairs cash transfers with additional support services like healthcare, education, nutrition, psychosocial care, or livelihood assistance. Its main aim is to tackle various aspects of poverty and vulnerability, going beyond just short-term financial help.

Statement 2 is correct: Cash plus interventions can take many forms. They tend to focus either on improving human development and human capital outcomes (e.g. nutrition, reproductive health, violence) or on productive inclusion (more sustainable livelihoods).

Statement 3 is not correct: The Cash Plus Model provides unconditional cash transfers, meaning there are no restrictions on how the money must be spent, and recipients are free to decide how to use it.
