State of the World’s Cash 2020: Introduction and methodology

Since the first State of the World’s Cash Report was published in February 2018, the use of cash and voucher assistance (CVA) has grown and diversified within a rapidly shifting humanitarian landscape. This new report examines progress, changes, and challenges over the last two years.

THE REPORT PROVIDES:

a neutral and critical analysis of the current state of CVA globally, including the extent to which it is contributing to quality in humanitarian programming and outcomes for people in need

an assessment of progress against the benchmark data collected for the 2018 report, identifying notable changes, challenges and gaps which may affect further progress

practical actions which can be applied – individually, organizationally and collectively – by stakeholders to support further progress and address gaps and challenges

an analysis of the emerging implications of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

METHODOLOGY:
