Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) became a cornerstone of the humanitarian response after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, providing critical support to over 6.1 million war-affected individuals in 2022, and 5.3 million in 2023. The synthesis paper builds on the Cash and Voucher Assistance in Ukraine: Compendium developed by the PeReHID Initiative and puts forward the main findings and recommendations related to:

1. Scale-Up and Refining of Humanitarian Space
2. Balancing Cash & In-Kind
3. Fragmentation of the Humanitarian Cash Response
4. De-Duplication and Interoperability
5. Localisation and Participation
6. Linking Humanitarian Cash Assistance to the Social Protection System

The recommendations are addressed to humanitarian actors, humanitarian donors, and the Government of Ukraine.
