Cash & Voucher Assistance | Global Capacity Statement

World Vision provides cash transfer to meet the needs of most vulnerable children, their families and communities. Cash provides immediate access to life saving goods and services, such as food, water, sanitation, shelter and health. It meets specific or multiple urgent needs and protect people from immediate harm, hunger and suffering. Cash also contributes to stability through resilience building and financial inclusion. WV has implemented Cash and Vouchers Assistance (CVA) since the 1990s, with significant scale-up post-2005 and exponential growth after 2011. This sustained investment has made CVA a core modality in WV’s humanitarian and development responses.

World Vision is committed to addressing the critical live-saving needs of the affected population during the relief phase through our CVA programmes. We are equipped with experienced CVP experts, sector and programme experts, robust guidelines, well-developed tracking and reporting systems and technologies over the years. Over the past five years, World Vision (WV) has implemented Cash and Voucher Programming (CVP) more than 50 countries, distributing over $1.5 billion USD in cash and vouchers to the most vulnerable children, their families and communities. During this period, WV reached a year peak of 9.8 million people, of which 80% were in fragile contexts and 51% were children.
