Summary:
OPM was commissioned to undertake research on the use of new technologies in humanitarian cash transfer programmes at key stages of the project cycle behalf of the Cash Learning Partnership (CALP). Based on a review of current practice, it highlighted the cost effectiveness of using new technologies; identified bottlenecks and presented recommendations on how to overcome them. Finally it provided insight into what kind of technological innovations exist or are needed to make cash transfer programming more efficient. The results of this research will then be presented to a broad spectrum of private sector actors. This research was undertaken in partnership with Concern Worldwide (leading) and the Partnership for Research in International Affairs and Development.
