Cash Transfers

Cash transfers are a form of social assistance designed to provide people with quick, flexible help, particularly in emergency situations. During the COVID pandemic, more than 1.3 billion people benefitted from cash transfer schemes which aimed to protect their lives and livelihoods. Humanitarian aid agencies increasingly use cash transfers to channel assistance to people and households in other types of crises, such as natural disasters.
