Cash Voucher Assistance, Social Protection and Cash Plus Programmes

In this session, we examine the linkages between CVA and social protection and Cash Plus programmes. We closely follow a case study by Mercy Corps that looks into impact programmes that combine cash interventions with vocational trainings on violence reduction.

In summary, we explore:

Linkages to social protection; Current status:

– Maturity of social protection systems and function of humanitarian response
– Opportunities and barriers
– Factors that influence coordination between CVA and social protection
– Introduction of case study: Can economic interventions reduce violence?
– Future priority actions

Information management design:

– How can the use of technology and information management support efficient implementation? Example using ActivityInfo based on the case study
– Key considerations for information management design
