CTPs are designed and implemented using appropriate and consistent information analysis CTP is implemented at scale routinely across emergency settings to meet the range of needs of crisis affected populations. There need to be a clear leadership/coordina tion structure for CTP within the humanitarian sector (global and country level), ensuring shared learning, a consistent approach and the evolution of best practice. Humanitarian agencies have the tools, procedures and skill sets to implement quality cash and voucher programmes rapidly, appropriately, and at scale CaLP’s activities for the coming years Capacity building • Delivering Level 2 training • Set up Technical Working Groups • Making CaLP capacity building tools (for e.g. Level 1 training materials...) available so the members of the CoP can set capacity building activities themselves. Research • 6 major researches • Video case studies • Evidence mapping In partnership with + Community of practice Information sharing and advocating •Advocacy for policies, practices and systems that support quality, scalable and CTP across the sectors, and for coordination of cash at national and global levels. •Develop a more systematic mechanism of sharing and learning between agencies •Improving existing information sharing platforms •Global mapping project •Global Learning Events Where we work Norwegian Refugee Council Oxfam GB British Red Cross Save the Children Action Against Hunger Dakar: West Africa RFP Bangkok: South East Asia RFP Nairobi: East Africa RFP Regional Focal Point (RFP) Steering Committee member Advocacy strategy: under development Advocacy strategy currently being finalised: proposed priority areas for 2012-13 Cash coordination and leadership Preparedness for delivery at scale Working with: global clusters, the CaLP Community of Practice, UN agencies, OCHA, donors and National Governments in CaLP focus countries Actions and tools include: Policy development, lobbying and media work 2012 – 2013 CaLP Research topics Cost effectiveness of cash transfers and specific delivery mechanisms Social protection systems and CTP scale up The future of CTP and organisations, Market analysis in donors and emergencies and governments minimum involved in requirements and funding, standards implementing, and influencing CTP E-payment data management and protection and codes of conduct How the research topics were identified • • • Stakeholder Meetings: London and DC in June 2012. Survey Monkey: to canvas the community of practice (CoP) for their perspectives on research themes. Previous research: recommendations made in previous research reviewed to identify priority areas in which CaLP has potential added value. To Stop and Consider How can the CaLP add value to the discussion on the use of cash based responses in South Sudan Questions? www.cashlearning.org [email protected]
