The Cash Learning Partnership (CaLP)
The Cash Learning Partnership (CaLP) originated from the will to gather lessons learnt from the emergency response to the Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2005. Today, CaLP is composed of five steering commitee organisations: Oxfam GB, the British Red Cross, Save the Children, the Norwegian Refugee Council and Action Against Hunger / ACF International. These five organisations came together to support capacity building, research and information-sharing as a way to promote cash transfer programming as an effective tool to deliver aid in times of crisis.
In 2010, the CaLP partnered with the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent societies (IFRC) to develop and implement new activities for 2011 with support from ECHO.
Vision Statement
“Humanitarian preparedness and response is more effective at meeting the diverse needs of affected people and promoting recovery.”
