Lessons Learnt from the Ebola Crisis in West Africa: a focus on Cash Transfer Programming

Beyond opportunities for CTP to support communities’ economic recovery, restore livelihoods and address food insecurity generated by epidemics, what are CTP applications that can facilitate / strengthen / speed up response to epidemics? Those recommendations have been put together by the CALP Network regional office in West Africa, building on contributions from participants to the events organized on December 2015 and May 2018 in Dakar, drawing lessons from the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. It aims at feeding reflections on the potential use of CTP in response to health crises, and immediately contribute to supporting actors involved in the Ebola response in DRC.
