Moving Forward: Humanitarian CVA in the Americas in the next five years

25 September 2024

Online

Background 

Humanitarian cash and voucher assistance (CVA) grew in volume and scope considerably in 2018-2023. With at least five years of widespread humanitarian CVA in the Americas, there is an opportunity to review the maturity of the use of the modalities, the tendencies, and where there needs to be more growth in the Americas. 

Against this backdrop, CALP commissioned a review of evidence that shows this trajectory. The study, We Looked Back: Now Let’s Move Forward Humanitarian CVA in the Americas 2018–2023, also looks forward to the next five years—what could help and what could hinder humanitarian CVA. In this event, we will hear from CVA stakeholders on what they think can happen to ensure that CVA is more systematically used and considered in more people-centered ways in the Americas in the next five years.  

Main Objective: 

  • Participants will learn about the future of CVA in the region in the coming five years, and how they can contribute to its effective evolution. 

Specific objectives: 

  • Share the findings of the study with a focus on future scenarios. 
  • Listen to different actors’ perspectives on the future of humanitarian CVA in the region in the next five years. 
  • People are motivated to read the report and apply its findings to their work.  

Speakers   

The event is targeted to: 

  • Actors who implement or have implemented humanitarian CVA in the Americas.
  • Humanitarian actors who support CVA in the Americas (i.e., donors, private sector, government, technical advisors, operations experts).
