  2. Who is CaLP ? • Partnership between Oxfam GB, the British Red Cross, Save the Children, the Norwegian Refugee Council and Action Against Hunger / ACF International. • 5 steering committee organisations came together to support capacity building, research and information-sharing on cash transfer programming as an effective tool to help deliver aid in times of crisis.

  3. Rationale for CaLP There is a growing recognition in the humanitarian sector that in an emergency, cash transfers and vouchers can be appropriate and effective tools to support populations affected by disasters in a way that maintains dignity and choice for beneficiaries while stimulating local economies and markets. The CaLP aims to promote appropriate, timely and quality cash and voucher programming.
