Cash Transfer Programming for Syrian Refugees

Lessons Learned on Vulnerability, Targeting, and Protection from the Danish Refugee Council’s E-Voucher Intervention in Southern Turkey

This report provides a comprehensive “lessons learned” analysis of DRC’s e-voucher intervention. It first outlines the strengths and weaknesses of the profiling questionnaire, survey methods, and scoring index that were used to assess and target households for assistance, and provides recommendations for improving these aspects of future cash transfer programming (CTP). Next, it examines the protection implications of the e-voucher intervention, again providing recommendations for future programs. The report ends with an illustration of how its recommendations will be applied in a forthcoming DRC e-voucher intervention. Findings are based on analysis of program tools and assessment data, key informant interviews with over 30 DRC staff and volunteers, and focus group discussions with 85 e-voucher beneficiaries.
