These lessons learned cover emergency responses that included more than one modality (cash, vouchers, or in-kind) – or where the type of response changed over the course of the project.

The research provides examples of projects that used various criteria to choose their responses, describing when cash or vouchers or in-kind assistance may be most appropriate.
