This section provides various papers and other resources generated as part of this project on the use of cash-based responses in emergencies. All documents are intended to provide insights and summarise learning into cash based responses.
This is an initial step in bringing together the growing of body of practice around cash based responses, but it is not exhaustive. It gives a broad range of examples of cash-and voucher-based responses and the documents they have generated, so that humanitarian practitioners and policy makers considering the use of cash in relief can learn from these past experiences. Other useful resources include the Swiss Development Cooperation and the UNDP International Poverty Centre sites on cash.
HPG encourages agencies, researchers and consultants with resources relevant to the subject to submit materials to this site by clicking here.

This report examines the use of cash transfers during crises by World Vision and other humanitarian aid agencies. Cash transfers are increasingly accepted as an alternative way to assist people reeling from the impact of crisis. In certain contexts, cash transfers can meet project objectives more effectively than in-kind assistance, and it is likely that this overall though limited trend in favour of cash-based responses is set to continue. Yet few donors have established dedicated guiding criteria for the consideration of cash-based responses in emergencies. The report finds that World Vision needs to secure the skills and capacity both to decide when cash is appropriate and to programme it when it is. World Vision s pioneering Cash and Food Transfers Pilot Project in Lesotho is a strong step in this direction. RSS
