This report identified gaps in the evidence, particularly on the role of CVA in increasing equity and inclusion of the most marginalised children in EiE, which has informed the central focus of this research.

This document will provide guidance on the inclusion of essential indicators in rapid needs assessments that will later allow analyzing the magnitude of economic barriers faced by children in their access to education, as well as the appropriateness and to some extent the feasibility of CVA as a programme delivery modality.

This note is intended to provide additional insights for education cluster coordinators on the potential uses of CVA for EiE in the current COVID-19 pandemic response under the GHRP COVID-19.

This note aims to provide recommendations for education partners based on the Education in the Emergency checklist and the World Health Organisation guidance on using CVA for COVID-19. 

This document presents some of the main considerations to keep in mind pertaining to Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) when conducting Education in Emergencies (EiE) needs assessments.

In light of the Grand Bargain cash commitment to develop an evidence base for assessing costs, benefits, impacts and risks of CVA, the Global Education Cluster (GEC), with a financial contribution from DG-ECHO and technical support from NORCAP has set out to build evidence around CVA for EiE.

The brief examines the existing evidence and the potential for bringing together cash transfer programs and parenting interventions on early child stimulation to improve child development outcomes, notably cognitive and language skills. The brief also provides lessons learned from implementation.
