A multi-country cash and voucher study across the Middle East & Eastern Europe: key findings

Cash Waves explored the impact of 18 cash and voucher assistance (CVA) programmes across eight countries, focusing on livelihood resilience, child well-being, mental health, community cohesion, gender equality, and social inclusion, with an emphasis on supporting displaced populations and sustainable recovery. The study, conducted between August and September 2024, utilised a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys (1,380 respondents) and qualitative insights (from 326 mothers, fathers, girls and boys).
