Description
One of the main assistance modalities used to support people through the Emergency Appeal for Ukraine and Impacted Countries was cash and voucher assistance (CVA). The Bulgarian Red Cross (BRC) provided more than CHF 4,740,174 through this modality, representing 32% of all International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) funds allocated to BRC. The BRC identified the following three CVA programmes as successful examples of targeted CVA activities: Winter support grants 2023/2024 - Cash for protection - Education vouchers. Developed with the support of the BRC’s protection, gender and inclusion (PGI) focal point, these programmes aimed to address the needs of children and people with disabilities.
