  1. The potential for joint programmes for long-term cash transfers in unstable situations

    Publication - Research reports and studies - 10 September 2007

    Paul Harvey and Rebecca Holmes

    This paper examines the potential for jointly funded long-term cash transfers to form part of social protection in unstable situations. It argues that there are three essential challenges: financing – how to provide longer term, more harmonised and predictable funding for social transfers in unstable situations; actors and delivery capacity – which actors or combinations of actors could deliver social transfers at scale (governments, NGOs, UN agencies, or the private sector); mechanisms – the form a social transfer should take (food or cash).

    This report summarises the findings from a study undertaken to assess whether or not a cash based response by World Vision to the current drought in Lesotho would be appropriate and feasible, as part of the organisation’s overall relief response. This was motivated both by a desire to respond with the most appropriate and effective resources in Lesotho and to increase the capacity within World Vision more globally to use cash based responses as one of a range of options for response in humanitarian crises.
