Improving Cash Transfer Programmes in Emergency Responses - ACF 2015-2016

This project supports the Cash Learning Partnership (CaLP) to increase the quality and effectiveness of cash transfers programming in emergency responses. It seeks to improve coordination and increase access to research learning and good practice. Activities led by the CaLP include: (1) promoting cash and vouchers as an appropriate and effective mechanism in emergency responses; (2) using cash and vouchers to raise awareness of transfer programming and to build capacity of organisations; and (3) gathering evidence and encouraging knowledge sharing among humanitarian actors.

The expected outcomes for this project include: 1) improved effectiveness quality and appropriateness of humanitarian responses through increased capacity of organisations and humanitarian partners to use cash-based responses; and 2) increased coordination around cash transfer programming. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or facing acute food insecurity.
