Cash Transfer Programming: Feasibility and appropriateness in the context of IOCC´s humanitarian response to refugee and migrants´ crisis in Greece [Kos and Chios Island]

This paper aims at assessing the feasibility and appropriateness of cash transfers programming (CTP) within the operational areas of International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) and their humanitarian response activities to the refugees and migrants´crisis on the Greek Islands Chios and Kos.

Awareness about the limitations of traditional in kind-aid, in an unusual  humanitarian setting with a higly mobile target group, has led to commissioning this paper; IOCC aims at informing their decision about a potential programmatic shift in their way of delivering humanitarian  assistance by making use of CTP.
