Governments and international aid agencies are increasingly giving cash to people after disasters as a mechanism to provide emergency relief. Indeed, cash transfers form the basis of an increasing volume of humanitarian aid in emergency related programmes across the world. The humanitarian sector requires answers to key questions that will enable smoother and more effective analysis of the context to aid the decision-making and design of cash transfer programmes. In particular it remains uncertain how to analyse the appropriateness of different and innovative cash transfer mechanisms. Save the Children UK, along with Oxfam GB and the British Red Cross from the Cash Learning Partnership (CaLP), is pleased to launch Delivering Money: Cash Transfer Mechanisms in Emergencies, funded by the European Commissions Humanitarian Aid Department (ECHO).This report documents lessons learned from previous experience and provides guidance for project managers needing to make choices about how best to deliver cash to people.
