Organizational Cash Readiness Tool (OCRT)

CALP Network developed the Organizational Cash Readiness Tool (OCRT) to assist organizations in developing readiness and capacity for delivering cash and voucher assistance (CVA). An organization can use the OCRT to take a snapshot of its current CVA readiness, and then use that assessment to develop plans to address shortcomings. This typically means going through a facilitated three-to-six-month process of getting familiar with the tool, gathering evidence for scoring each indicator, deciding on the final scores, forming recommendations, and developing action plans to increase organizational readiness for CVA.

On this page you are able to download the process Guide, the OCRT Instructions and the OCRT Tools itself. Also available for download is a PDF of some case studies from those who have used the tool.
