Training held for humanitarians delivering cash to people in crisis

AMMAN — The CALP Network has delivered a five-day “Train the Trainers” course in Amman, equipping 13 people from 10 organisations to deliver Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) training throughout the Middle East and North Africa region.

The CALP Network is a dynamic global network of over 90 organisations engaged in the critical areas of policy, practice and research in humanitarian cash and voucher assistance (CVA) and financial assistance more broadly, according to a CALP Network statement.

CVA refers to all humanitarian programmes where cash transfers or vouchers are directly provided to crisis affected people. Course leader Ayman Ramsis said: “Having more Arabic-speaking trainers who can deliver its courses will help increase access to CVA training throughout the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

This will result in more training being available, particularly in areas difficult to access.” The Train the Trainers course was organised by the CALP Network and funded by the German Federal Foreign Office (GFFO).
