The CALP Network believes in collective action and transforming the humanitarian system. Together we seek to maximize the potential that humanitarian cash and voucher assistance can bring to people in contexts of crisis.

Since its inception in 2005 CALP has been striving for CVA to become better, more people-centred and used more widely. We achieve this through research, thought-leadership, advocacy, influencing, training and much more besides. The CALP Network has played an instrumental role in advancing the use of CVA as an effective tool in humanitarian response.

Creating change in a complex environment can only be achieved when people and organizations work together: CALP collaborates on a global scale to shape the future direction of humanitarian cash assistance and strives to increase our impact through collective action.

Part of our network includes our 90+ members: CALP members include local and international non-governmental organizations; United Nations agencies; the Red Cross/Crescent Movement; donors; specialist social innovation; technology and financial services companies; researchers and academics and individual practitioners. Collectively, CALP members deliver the vast majority of humanitarian CVA worldwide.

CALP functions as an autonomous organization in terms of decision making, governance, strategy and funding. CALP staff are hosted  by Action Against Hunger, Oxfam and the Norwegian Refugee Council who also provide support in terms of infrastructure and systems. The CALP team is based across the world, many working from key hubs and regional offices in Jordan, Kenya, Philippines, Senegal, UK and USA, with others working from home in other countries.
