Is Cash a Feasible Alternative to Food Aid for Post-Drought Relief in Lesotho

This report summarises the findings from a study undertaken to assess whether or not a cash based response by World Vision to the current drought in Lesotho would be appropriate and feasible, as part of the organisation’s overall relief response. This was motivated both by a desire to respond with the most appropriate and effective resources in Lesotho and to increase the capacity within World Vision more globally to use cash based responses as one of a range of options for response in humanitarian crises.
