The Case for Cash in Responding to Humanitarian Crises in Malawi

A policy paper by the Malawi INGO Cash Consortium which makes the case for cash assistance as a response modality to humanitarian crises.

It gives a brief overview of global evidence for cash and previous cash experience in Malawi, and makes several key recommendations. One of these key recommendations is that cash over in-kind food aid should be prioritised in Malawi, except in cases of evident market failure.
