Details
Cash transfers in humanitarian contexts can help people to recover from shocks caused by natural disaster or conflict and have a positive impact on the local economy. Cash transfers can also improve security by reducing the risk of looting and the logistical challenges for donors of getting goods into conflict-affected parts of the country. They also tend to be more cost efficient than in-kind contributions.
