The study research is based on key lines of enquiry assessing the extent of preparedness of humanitarian actors in the following four fundamental areas: appropriate procedures, systems and guidelines to facilitate speedy and large scale cash and voucher transfer programming; technical capacity to assess needs, design appropriate programmes, implement and monitor them; contingency planning including relevant analysis and prepositioning activities; coordination with other actors, particularly the private sector.
