This case study report forms part of the findings from a Cash Learning Partnership (CaLP) study on inter-agency collaboration for the delivery of Cash Transfer Programs (CTPs). The relationship between various forms and levels of inter-agency collaboration for the delivery of CTP and the efficiency and effectiveness of these programmes was examined via four case studies. For further details on the study scope, methodology and findings across cases, please refer to the full study report.

The Philippines Cash Working Group (CWG) was selected as a case study to illustrate highly collaborative Cash Working Group forms of inter-agency collaboration for sector focused cash assistance, with informal relationships and separate funding flows between members. It is distinctive from the other cases in that cash assistance is provided as part of a disaster response, including in preparedness, immediate and early-recovery response activities.
