Making the Case for Cash

Because cash transfer programming (CTP – here referring to cash grants, voucher programmes, and cash-for-work) is still a relatively new way of delivering aid, practitioners may often find that they need to be able to make the case for using CTP as well as address fears across different audiences.
It is important when advocating for CTP to always ground your arguments within the following key points: The context-specific rationale for CTP (i.e. availability of goods in local markets); That cash and vouchers are just new tools for delivering relief, not new programme approaches in themselves.
