What is cash transfer programming?
‘Cash interventions transfer resources to people by giving them cash or vouchers’ (ODI Good Practice Review)
![Page 10: Cash Learning Partnership€¦ · 2015, timely humanitarian response will routinely consider appropriate and accountable cash transfer programmes at scale. Adapted from materials](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042410/5f278e9fe8942b2fff45c714/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What is cash transfer programming?
‘Cash transfer programming is one form of humanitarian response, which can be used to meet basic needs and/or protect, establish or re-establish livelihoods’
(CaLP Basic CTP Training)
![Page 11: Cash Learning Partnership€¦ · 2015, timely humanitarian response will routinely consider appropriate and accountable cash transfer programmes at scale. Adapted from materials](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042410/5f278e9fe8942b2fff45c714/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Global context for CTP
Continuous growth of cash and voucher programmes among humanitarian agencies UN shift towards CTP (even WFP - 30 to 40% target by 2015) Donor policy and funding shift (ECHO food assistance policy; DfID; USAID)
![Page 12: Cash Learning Partnership€¦ · 2015, timely humanitarian response will routinely consider appropriate and accountable cash transfer programmes at scale. Adapted from materials](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042410/5f278e9fe8942b2fff45c714/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Global context for CTP
Increased role of private sector
Still lots of scope for innovation and more risk-taking
Not only emergencies but modality for longer-term social protection
![Page 13: Cash Learning Partnership€¦ · 2015, timely humanitarian response will routinely consider appropriate and accountable cash transfer programmes at scale. Adapted from materials](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042410/5f278e9fe8942b2fff45c714/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cash transfer programming Cash transfers are assistance to beneficiaries in the form of cash payments, bank transfers or mobile money. Beneficiaries can meet their own needs in the marketplace.
![Page 14: Cash Learning Partnership€¦ · 2015, timely humanitarian response will routinely consider appropriate and accountable cash transfer programmes at scale. Adapted from materials](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042410/5f278e9fe8942b2fff45c714/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Cash transfer modalities
Unconditional cash grants
No demands on beneficiaries and assumes that beneficiaries will use cash to obtain goods.
Non-contributory transfers and with no expectation of repayment.
Conditional cash grants
Based on requirements on beneficiaries, or restricting the use of cash, for example:
attending training, participating in work activities, attending a clinic etc ....
Specific for education, health care... etc
![Page 15: Cash Learning Partnership€¦ · 2015, timely humanitarian response will routinely consider appropriate and accountable cash transfer programmes at scale. Adapted from materials](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042410/5f278e9fe8942b2fff45c714/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Voucher transfers
These are paper or electronic entitlements which can be exchanged with specified retailers.
![Page 16: Cash Learning Partnership€¦ · 2015, timely humanitarian response will routinely consider appropriate and accountable cash transfer programmes at scale. Adapted from materials](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042410/5f278e9fe8942b2fff45c714/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Voucher transfers
Commodity vouchers
These are exchangeable for a fixed quantity of goods and/or services.
Cash vouchers
These are exchangeable for the equivalent cash value with a choice of specified items.
Conditionality can also apply to vouchers.
![Page 17: Cash Learning Partnership€¦ · 2015, timely humanitarian response will routinely consider appropriate and accountable cash transfer programmes at scale. Adapted from materials](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042410/5f278e9fe8942b2fff45c714/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Why conditionality or restrictions?
To support the objective of the programme or support dual objectives (e.g. cash for work for income support and infrastructure rehabilitation).
To ensure accountability to donors.
An important way to understand people’s priority needs or the conditions/restrictions will not be effective .
